One of the only glaring downsides of the 2016 Chevy Stingray is the fact that it only allows two people to enjoy this classic performance car at any one time. The new Stingray comes standard with a Grand Touring seat, but it is also available with a Competition Sport seat, both of which use a lightweight magnesium frame to provide the finest support. The new Vette also offers Apple CarPlay compatibility, as well as OnStar 4G LTE with built-in WiFi hotspot.
