We have yet to receive the full specifications on the close-ratio goodness.

TransmissionĪccording to GM, the transmission on Corvettes with the Z51 Performance Package includes specific close-ratio gearing for more aggressive driving. In addition, Z51 also brings a unique aerodynamics package, brake cooling ducts, and a unique rear spoiler work to deliver enhanced performance at the track and stability at high speeds. Models with the automatic transmission or the Z51 Performance Package feature a functional vent on the driver’s side of the C7 that directs air over a heat exchanger for the transmission fluid a similar arrangement on the passenger side directs air over a heat exchanger for the electronic limited slip differential. The Z51 Performance Package also brings integrated brake, differential, and transmission cooling. By changing the rate at which the limited slip engages to balance between steering response and stability in different driving conditions, the eLSD provides more aggressive performance in Sport and Track modes. In addition, the functionality of the eLSD is adjusted with the selection of the Driver Mode Selector. The eLSD distributes torque based on a unique algorithm that takes into account vehicle speed, steering input, and throttle position to improve steering feel, handling balance, and traction. The system utilizes a hydraulically-actuated clutch that is capable of varying clutch engagement, being able to respond from open to full engagement in tenths of a second. The job of the smart electronic Limited Slip Differential (eLSD) included in the Z51 Performance Package is to constantly make the most of the torque split between the rear wheels. Well, here’s what the baddest from-the-factory performance package for the Stingray contains. And during that time, you might have come across mentions of the optional Z51 Performance Package. By this time, you might already know about the all-new 2014 Corvette Stingray and its beautifully-functional exterior, high-quality interior and in-cabin technology, light-weight and stiff frame, as well as its capable chassis.
