The Stingray is the Corvette that completely changed the game. The L88 Stingray was a performance car with an attitude and was meant to invigorate the Corvette lineup. The L88 Stingray was one of the fastest Corvette models at the time, a true muscle car instead of a cruiser like the average Corvette models from the period (via Top Speed).

The L88 in the name of this model refers to the special edition V8 engine under the hood. That’s the engine code for those of you who don’t know. The suspension was also beefed up for racing and the wheels were also unique to this model. All in all, this was a beast of a  Corvette model that burned rubber on command.
