2010 Chevrolet Corvette Highlights
The 2010 Chevrolet Corvette lineup gains a new model, the Grand Sport.
Chevy's performance car comes as a coupe and convertible. Both body
styles are available in
Base and Grand Sport trim levels.
Grand Sport replaces the Z51 option package and includes
specific styling cues, suspension tuning, brakes, and transmission
gearing. These models have a 430-hp 6.2-liter V8 engine. An optional
"dual-mode" exhaust system increases
horsepower to 436. Transmission choices include a 6-speed manual or
6-speed automatic.
As if that isn't enough, Chevy offers other high-performance Corvette
models, the Z06 and ZR1, both available only as coupes. Z06 has a
505-hp 7.0-liter V8, 6-speed manual transmission, specific suspension
tuning, tires, and brakes. ZR1 has a supercharged 638-hp 6.2-liter V8
engine and 6-speed manual transmission. ZR1 differs from other
Corvettes by its unique suspension tuning and use of lightweight carbon
fiber on the hood, roof panel, roof bow, front fascia splitter, and
rocker moldings. All manual-transmission Corvette models incorporate
GM's new Launch Control, which modulates engine speed in order to
maximize grip during full-throttle launches.
The ZR1 adds a "Performance Traction Management" system, which
automatically
adjusts the traction control and suspension to suit high-performance
driving. Available safety features include ABS, traction control,
antiskid system, and side airbags. Among the available features are a
head-up display, navigation system, and wireless cell phone link.
