Source: NewCarTestDrive.ComIntroductionThe Chevrolet Corvette is the great American sports car.It's thrilling to drive, with breathtaking acceleration performance and exceptionally tenacious grip for hard braking and high-speed cornering. Value isn't the first thing that comes to mind when talk turns to the Corvette but, when it comes to high performance, it might be the best bang-for-the-buck deal on the planet.For the price of a midsize luxury sedan, the Corvette delivers supercar performance.It's easy to drive on a daily basis and maintenance costs are not exotic. We love the standard Coupe, with either the manual or Paddle Shift automatic.It quickly infuses a driver with confidence.Its brakes are fantastic.And, it's blazingly fast.The six-speed automatic transmission works great and lives up to the advanced technology in the rest of the car; it can be shifted manually with levers on the steering column. The Convertible on the other hand is plain wonderful.Drop the top on a nice day, pop in your favorite CD, and you might have what psychologists call a peak experience, a moment where you revel in being alive.It's a fantastic feeling, and at those moments the Corvette more than justifies its price.The aural sounds of the burbling V8, the body-colored trim that surrounds the cabin, the feel of power beneath, it is automotive heaven. The Corvette can be a reasonably comfortable daily driver in most locales, for at least three of the four seasons.The latest-generation Corvette is a sophisticated car, and its performance does not exact a painful toll on driver or passenger.And, with all that performance, it still gets an EPA-rated 26 mpg on the Highway, better than most SUVs. The Z06 is a true supercar for a price that's merely expensive, as opposed to insanely expensive.The Z06 is powered by the 7.0-liter 505-horsepower LS7 V8, has a lightweight chassis and is fitted with upgraded brakes.If any $70,000 car can be called a bargain, this is the one, at least in terms of raw performance.The Corvette Z06 accelerates faster, grips better and stops shorter than European sports cars that cost twice as much.And we find it easier to drive than a Viper.Indeed, it takes an expensive machine, well driven, to compete with a Z06. Moving even further upward is the ZR1, a limited-production extremely high performance iteration that boasts a 6.2-liter V8 that's supercharged and cranks out 638 horsepower and 604 pound-feet of torque.It is the most powerful, quickest, fastest, most capable and highest-performing production car ever built by General Motors, which also makes it the highest-performing Corvette ever built, and carries a hefty price tag of $103,970.According to Chevrolet, it has a top speed of 205 mph. For 2009, changes to the Corvette line are minimal.There is a lower-priced Convertible, the 1LT, which makes it possible to have a Corvette Convertible for less money.The power convertible top is standard on the 2LT trim level and all versions above that.The Coupes have a standard power hatch pull-down.And there are some new colors inside and out and minor enhancements to trim and features.The Z06 has new 10-spoke alloy wheels and its engine has a bigger dry-sump lubrication system, with 10.5 quarts capacity instead of the former 8.0 quarts.The Chevrolet Corvette is the great American sports car.It's thrilling to drive, with breathtaking acceleration performance and exceptionally tenacious grip for hard braking and high-speed cornering.

Source: NewCarTestDrive.ComWalkaroundThe sixth-generation Corvette, called C6, is now in its fourth year of production. The Corvette is low and sleek.From some angles it's almost pretty, and it shows a bit of Italian flair.Throughout the car, functional elements dictate design and the result is a forward motion that implies performance.The lines of the bulging hood, the shape of the fenders, and the cat's-eye headlights all point forward to a subtle beaklike shape.A pair of fog lights flanks a wide air intake below. Vents behind the front tires let hot air out of the engine compartment.The sculpted fenders, with sharp creases that sweep dramatically up to the planed rear deck, call to mind race cars as well as jet fighters.At the back, four round taillights recall Corvette's past and make the car look like an F-18 taking off in full afterburner mode.On the functional side, the optics of the reverse lights magnify the light they throw out to help when backing up in this beast.To move weight from the front of the Corvette, the transmission is mounted behind the seats and connected to the differential, rather than being attached directly behind the engine. In the Z06, this quest for front-rear balance extends to the weight of the battery, which is relocated in the rear cargo area. The Z06 is distinguished from other Corvettes by lots of subtle appearance tweaks, starting with the roof.It's fixed rather than removable, adding an extra element of structural stiffness for track driving.You'll never see a transparent roof panel on a Z06: it would add weight and increase the height of the center of gravity. In front, the Z06 has a wider, lower grille and a separate, unique air scoop above the bumper to shove more intake air under the hood.Its fenders are wider front and rear to cover massively wide tires and rims (the front wheels are 9.5 inches wide and the rears are fully 12 inches wide, or two inches wider than those on the standard Vette).In back, brake scoops are located in front of the rear wheels, the Z06 spoiler is slightly more prominent, and its exhaust outlets are wider, too (four inches in diameter at the tips). Several Z06 body and chassis changes are not visible.The frame is made entirely of hydro-formed aluminum (the standard Vettes have steel rails), with a magnesium engine cradle, and its fenders are formed from ultra-light carbon fiber.As a result, and despite a much heavier engine and drivetrain, the Z06 weighs 50 pounds less than a standard Corvette Coupe. Take the Z06 and move the theme further along and you arrive at, generally, the ZR1, which has some of its own distinctive features.Chief among them is probably the transparent section in the hood, which allows the proud owner to show off the engine without having to actually do anything except point, as if even that will be required, once one of these things gets parked in a crowd of Corvette enthusiasts.The sixth-generation Corvette, called C6, is now in its fourth year of production.
