Vehicle Description
Introduced for the 2005 model year, the C6 generation of
Chevrolet's venerable Corvette brought about a host of refinements
that made the Corvette better looking, better performing, and nicer
to live with on a daily basis. The exterior dimensions were
shortened in both length and width, while the wheelbase was
increased for better ride and handling. The body lines were much
more taught than the somewhat bulbous curves of the C5, and the
biggest styling change of all was the exposed headlamps replacing
the pop up lamps present on the Corvette since 1963. Gasp! But
alas, this move reduced weight on the front end and gave the C6 a
mode modern appearance somewhat aping the Ferrari 575 Maranello
from the front. Under the hood was the new LS2 V8 making an even
400hp, up from the previous LS1s 350hp. The brakes were larger, and
the suspension was retuned for the weight and wheelbase changes.
Inside an all new and more modern interior appeared that improved
on the most complained about part of the C5, with much improved
seats and switchgear that felt much better than the soft touch
controls of the C5. All in all, the C6 was a very evolutionary step
up from the C5 and carried the Corvette torch proudly for the next
nine model year until it was retired after 2013.The 2006 Corvette
convertible catalogued here for sale is a beautiful example of all
the sixth generation Corvette has to offer. This Corvette is
finished in Artic White over Cashmere with a matching Cashmere
canvas top. The LS2 V8 under hood is mated to a rear mounted six
