Vehicle Description
Sports cars just don't get much more awesome than the new
Corvettes. They have supercar class performance and looks, advanced
features, are comfortable, easy to drive, and have been praised for
the quality of their new, high-tech interiors. They are frequently
called the world's best sports-car bargain.
This one is presented in a color with an awesome name, Inferno
Orange. It has a great shine and the lights really dance off the
curves of the car as it moves down the road. Up front, the change
from hideaway headlights was a dramatic departure from tradition
that first appeared on these C6s. That change along with other
aerodynamic improvements, including internal improvements for
engine and brake cooling are evident in the scoops at the nose of
the hood as well as the large air outlets just under the Grand
Sport badge on the front fenders. The Grand Sport also gets the
wider track and suspension from the Z06, so you will notice a brake
cooling duct and wider rear bodywork to accommodate those upgrades
on the rear fenders. The Orange also looks great with the tinted
windows, and if you want some wind in your hair, just pop out the
body colored Targa top.
Open the door and get ready to experience a sleek Black leather
interior built with a quality of workmanship you would expect to
find in limited production cars from Italy or England, not a
production car from America. Then pack that interior full of all
the comforts and conveniences one would expect of a modern Sport
Luxury car. The sculpted door panel has a nice armrest and switches
for power windows, mirrors and locks at your fingertips. Settle
into the seats that are wider and more comfortable than ever before
for long range cruising, yet offer outstanding side support for
spirited driving. A leather wrapped steering wheel feels good in
your hands and sits in front of dash with backlit gauges including
a 6500rpm redline and speedometer with engine gauges flanking them
two on each side. Modern conveniences also include air
conditioning, a killer sound system that is FM/CD/satellite and
iPod compatible for your listening pleasure. The shifter for the
automatic transmission sits in the carbon fiber center console.
Pop the hood and you will find a 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine that pumps
out 436 horsepower. A factory cold air system draws air in from the
front of the grill and feeds an engine optimized for low end torque
and broad band power and exits out a dual exhaust system with quad
tips at the rear. That power is sent to the rear wheels through
6-speed automatic and gets to the ground through a suspension that
is a race developed and tested system of short/long arms working
through lightweight transverse leaf springs with specially tuned
shocks that provide the seemingly impossible combination of
stunning race car performance along with road car manners. Massive
drilled rotors both front and rear are clamped by 6-piston calipers
up front and 4-pistons in the rear. The rubber meets the road
through 335/30/ZR19s in the rear and 275/35R18s in the front
mounted on those sharp looking Grand Sport wheels.
Awesome V8 power with a race-bred suspension with a comfortable
leather interior with all the modern amenities. Come on down and
check out just how good these newer Vettes really are.
