Apparently the Corvette Stingray is actually capable of reading the temperature of the tires through the TPMS and it will adjust the traction control, stability control, ABS and even the eLSD based on whether your tires are cool, warm, or hot.

Integrated Tire Temperature/Chassis Controls

Chevy uses the tire temperature data available through the C7's tire pressure sensors to more carefully control its ABS and electronic differential. Because the pressure sensors don't measure tire temperature directly (they actually measure the temperature of the TPMS sensor's microprocessor), it's not a perfect science, but it is one that data modeling can largely overcome. And it's one more piece of information that can be utilized to enhance the driving experience.

Tire temps are split into three categories: cold (below 45 degrees), warm (45-115 degrees) and hot (above 115 degrees). In "cold" mode ABS intervenes sooner and more progressively, while the differential is more aggressive to limit inside wheelspin. As temps increase, ABS control intervenes later and becomes more lenient, while differential locking ramps up more slowly.

I had heard about it. I was very disappointed when most reviewers did not cover the feature. The C7 really does have a lot of features

I didn't know that. That's amazing!

The only feature it needs now is the Anti-European System, which causes fans of European cars stop thinking this and every other modern American car is terrible.

I feel like every day I learn something new about the C7 that makes it even more desirable.

I've never really given much of a shit about the Corvette before the C7 and now all I want is a Corvette Coupe with the 2LT Z51 package, 8-speed auto and Magnetic Suspension.

I want it, and I want it bad.

Did I stu-stu-stutter?

Yes, the new 8-speed auto that shifts faster than Porsche's PDK.
