Corvette Grand Sport Coupe in Jetstream Blue Metallic Tintcoat
| |
|
|
The growing Corvette lineup for 2010 includes the Corvette coupe and Corvette convertible, each powered by the
430-horsepower (321 kW) LS3 V-8, and the racing-inspired Corvette Z06. Equipped with the 505-horsepower (377
kW) LS7 engine and built on a lightweight chassis, the Z06 is a street-going descendent of the
championship-winning Corvette racing program. For 2010, Grand Sport once again becomes part of the Corvette's
lineup, available in coupe and convertible models.
The new Grand Sport combines the Corvette's LS3-based powertrain with wide-body styling, a wider track and a
racing-bred suspension for a distinctive model that delivers a great balance of road and race track
performance. It is offered with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. The LS3 6.2L
engine is rated at 430 horsepower (321 kW)* and 424 lb.-ft. of torque (575 Nm)* with the standard exhaust
system. An optional two-mode exhaust system elevates the power ratings to 436 horses (325 kW) and 428 lb.-ft.
(580 Nm).
The Grand Sport replaces the Corvette's previous Z51 package and brings a greater degree of handling
performance, with wider wheels and tires; revised shock, stabilizer bar and spring specifications; and specific
gearing. A combination of 0-60 performance of four seconds, skid pad adhesion of 1 g and EPA-estimated 26 mpg
on the highway makes it a very well-rounded sports car. Grand Sport coupe models equipped with the manual
transmission are uniquely outfitted for race track competition, too, with a dry-sump oiling system,
differential cooler and a rear-mounted battery.
The ZR1 returns for 2010 with new Performance Traction Management (PTM) technology. It is an advanced system
that is part of a new Launch Control feature that optimizes traction for greater and more consistent on-track
performance. The Corvette ZR1 is powered by supercharged and intercooled 6.2L engine that is hand-assembled at
GM's Performance Build Center. It is rated at 638 horsepower (476 kW), making it the most powerful production
car ever offered by Chevrolet and GM.
