I guess that interior leak with the stingray name was for real after all
looks like they sharpened up the stingray icon a bit! A little more angular and elongated just like The c8 logo -
I guess that makes it official! nice2020 C8 | 2LT | GKZ Torch Red | Z51 Performance Pckg | FE4 Mag Ride | J6F Red Caliper | C2Z Carbon Roof | AE4 Competition Seats | FA5 Carbon Interior | E60 Front Lift | ZZ3 Engine Appearance Pckg | 5ZU High Wing Spoiler | SPY Black Lug Nuts | 5JR Carbon Fiber Mirror Caps | VQK Front/Rear Splash Guards | RCC Red Engine CoverComment

Funny, I had just draft written this last night, but did not want to jump the gun.
“ME Officially A 2020 C8 STINGRAY!
GM just announced that the first year mid engine Corvette will be named a Stingray.
[Quote=GM]This confirms an earlier leak which came from a U.S. Chevy dealer accessing his GM WorkBench Connect software system.
Here is our earlier thread on that then, long ago breaking news about it being a Stingray
https://www.midenginecorvetteforum.c...ay-model-codes
Forecasting this name, in March Carscoops showed us a interior C8 mule seat picture showing what looked like an upside down Stingray pattern:
Lastly, Carscoops also showed us center “waterfall” picture with the word Stingray on it.
Thank you Carscoops: https://www.carscoops.com/2019/03/20...will-be-named/
Based on the above, today’s official GM news that the C8 mid engine Corvette confirms those earlier “probables.”
The 2020C8 Stingray mid engine has been born, and will start to thrive in just 84 more hours.Last edited by John; 07-15-2019, 09:57 AM.GBA Black; HTO Twilight/Tension interior; Z51 & Mag Ride; E60 lift; 5VM visible carbon fiber package; 5ZZ high wing; FA5 interior vis CF; ZZ3 engine appearance; 3LT; Q8T Spectra Gray Tridents; J6N Edge Red Calipers; SNG Edge Red Hashmarks; VQK Splash Guards; RCC Edge Red engine cover; VJR illuminated sill plates.

Stingray it is! Time has told!

While we do have verified info on a new Stingray ordering code for MY 2020, there was no verification that this was a revised C7 FE Corvette. I personally think the Stingray name will continue on the base C8 FE car. But like I always say, time will tell.

I really like the new Stingray emblem. Looks more powerful as fvs noted.
BUT, inquiring minds want to know now, where is it on the car? Might it be on the waterfall? Or???Last edited by John; 07-15-2019, 11:03 AM.GBA Black; HTO Twilight/Tension interior; Z51 & Mag Ride; E60 lift; 5VM visible carbon fiber package; 5ZZ high wing; FA5 interior vis CF; ZZ3 engine appearance; 3LT; Q8T Spectra Gray Tridents; J6N Edge Red Calipers; SNG Edge Red Hashmarks; VQK Splash Guards; RCC Edge Red engine cover; VJR illuminated sill plates.

It’s “nose” echoes the front of the C8’s emblem.
