The All New 2011 Chevrolet Corvette

When it comes to the new Chevrolet there new Corvette is going to be the actual fifty eighth years in which this C6 Corvette has now became a part of that.  It is going to be one of the few makes of the C6 Corvette – only seven of these Corvettes have been previously released so it makes this new 2011 model, a very much anticipated vehicle.

This Corvette however is going to have a few changes made to the car which means that this is going to be one of the most popular cars to go into competition with the Porsche 911.  This new Corvette is going to be very much like the Porsche 911 – well certainly with the size of the Chevrolet anyway; it will only have the same length as the Porsche but the body work is a lot tighter than before which makes a nice addition to the car.

There are a lot of differences however that makes this car one of its own – it will make sure that Corvette is very different also from the Porsche however especially with the V-8 small block engine that is present with the C6 Corvette.  This makes sure that this car has got a lot of great performance over this, it runs smoothly and the speed has to be one of the best so far, it runs fast and still the car is smooth while on the road.

The sheer performance of this car is great in fact; the car has gone through a few changes that have made sure that the car’s performance is ten times as better than before.  The new LS3 powered configuration has been now used Z06 which now makes the performance a lot greater than before but the suspension has been improved greatly and the track is now wider of course.

The new C7 should be released in the next few months; maybe a year from now but there has been a lot of concern over this of course.  That is because of the financial troubles that the company has had in the past but the entire automobile market have been given a lot of reassurance that there will be a car that is soon to be out on the market.

The range however will come in both the body work of a Coupe and a convertible also but with the transmissions there is a choice over the six speed automatic and the six speed manual transmission.  Both are good and very powerful.

The models come in the Z06, the Base, the ZR1 and the Grand Sport models and the engines comes in the supercharged V-8 6.2 liter, the 7.0 liter V-8 and the 6.2 liter V-8 engine.

The car has now got a fantastic new design over the wheels, the brake rotors have now been redesigned and can be larger – the cross drilled brake rotors can be available to those that wish to have these.  However this is only available to the Grand Sport edition.

There are also the magnetic ride controls that are available also on the Grand Sport edition of the Chevrolet; with the automatic transmission there will be the paddles that could be used to actually overtake the gear selection when the car is in driving mode.

There are a few newer options over the headlamps that are available with color contrasting; there is the usual USB port along with an input jack along with the navigation radio built into the car.

The exterior has got a new z06 Carbon limited edition to the car which means that the hood of the car is carbon fiber and it will have rocker panels with black carbon fiber splitter.  The wheels are black with a leather and suede interior and the mirrors and headlamps follow the same pattern in deed.

The interior of the actual car however is not as great as the rest of the car which is a little disappointing in deed.  There is the custom color stitching option but that is still not good enough to make sure this makes the grade inside.

The Corvette will have a LS3 and LS7 that powers the car which means that it can reach a lateral grip of one point one grams and can go from zero to sixty miles per hour in less than four seconds, in three point three seconds it can reach a massive sixty mph.  This is all going to be available with the ZR1 model however but that might cost a little more for this model so be careful.

The handling though of the car is best thing overall, it is powerful and very stable in deed to work with; the C6 is better than before and the balance of this is great and helps to work perfectly with the grip of the car.

The Chevrolet Corvette does have side and front airbags to go nicely with this along with the anti lock brakes.  There even comes a front passenger sensor that is standard with the Corvette but still is very good even if this is seen in many other vehicles.

The active handling is good however since it comes with the stability control and if so wished then there is the magnetic ride control to choose from which means that the cross drilled brake rotors are going to be bigger also.

With the Corvette Grand Sport edition with the automatic transmission can get to 25 mpg on the highway and 15 mpg on the city roads.  With the manual it can get to 26 mpg for the highway and 16 mpg for the city.

The ZR1 and the Z06 are similar over the fuel economy with the ZR1 reaching 14 mpg for the city and the Z06 just going over that at 15 mpg while the highway roads are 24 mpg for the Z06 and 20 mpg for the ZR1.
