PLAY BY YOUR RULES.
SOME LEAD. SOME FOLLOW.
Corvette has followed its own formula as an American original since 1953. The Corvette coupe, convertible and Z06 have steadily grown in stature amid the world hierarchy of great automobiles. As Corvette godfather Zora Arkus-Duntov once said, "All Corvettes are performance cars - the difference is in degree." Since the dawn of the sixth generation, we have seen the coupe, convertible and Z06 that was codeveloped with a Le Mans-winning racer - all with outstanding fuel economy. Now, Corvette's bandwidth expands even further with the return of the Corvette ZR1. A supercharged 638-hp LS9 V8 and a test-track top speed of over 200 mph - a stunning new performance benchmark for a GM production car. Every 2009 Corvette is backed by the best coverage in America: a 100,000 mile/5-year transferable Powertrain Limited Warranty plus Roadside Assistance and Courtesy Transportation.CHEVROLET CORVETTE. AN AMERICAN REVOLUTION. |

THE ECSTACY STARTS HERE.

Its 6.2 Liter displacement puts out Big Block levels of power at 430 hp@5900 rpm and 424 lb.-ft. of torque@4600 rpm - providing excellent fuel economy without a gas-guzzler tax. LS3 is based on the legendary GM small block V8. Large bore and deep aerobic capacity, thanks to a high-lift cam, high-flow cylinder heads and high-flow composte intake manifold. The available dual-mode exhaust system reduces restriction and raises output to 436 hp and 428 lb.-ft. of torque while providing a more aggressive exhaust note. |
Z06. CHANGE THE GAME. CALL IN THE RINGER.

Result: a rolling litany of racing technology and exotic materials.Aluminum-block LS7 V8 displaces 7.0 Liters or 427 cubic inches.An 11.0:1 compression ratio. An SAE-certified 470 lb.-ft. of torque at 4800 rpm and 505 hp at 6300 rpm.Lightweight titanium intake valves and connecting rods.A forged-steel crankshaft with six-bolt main bearings and a high-profile cam with the largest lift ever on a production GM small block V8.Dry-sump oil system prevents oil starvation on high-g corners or under heavy braking.Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) machined heads and ports provide better air and fuel flow.Carbon-fiber fenders and wheelhousings are employed as well as carbon-fiber, balsa-sandwiched floorboards.Corvette Z06 achieves its excellent power-to-weight ratio in part because of its lightweight yet strong aluminum frame combined with a magnesium roof structure and engine cradle.A low 3,180-lb. curb weight.Aluminum body structure weighs only 278 lbs. - 136 lbs. less than the Corvette coupe. Structure includes full-length aluminum hydroformed rails to provide exceptional strength and dimensional accuracy.Power-to-weight ratio of 6.3 lbs. per horsepower.Z06 has a top speed of 198 mph on the test track.Six-piston front and four-piston rear brake calipers provides massive stopping force against 14-inch front and 13.4-inch rear ventilated, cross-drilled rotors.Bimodal exhaust reduces noise output at idle and during moderate driving while providing reduced back pressure for race car-like performance at higher rpm. At speed, the sound emanating from the four-inch-diameter trumpet-shaped exhaust outlets is sensational. |
