C6 Corvette Accesories Article
The new C6 gets an overhaul of the suspension geometry, all new bodywork with exposed headlamps (for the first time since 1962), a larger passenger compartment, and a larger 6.0 L (366 cu in) engine. Overall, shorter and narrower than the C5, to gain wider appeal to the European market. The 6.0 L LS2 V8 produces 400 hp (298 kW) at 6000 rpm and 400 ft•lb (542 N•m) of torque at 4400 rpm. Its redline is increased to 6500 rpm. With a 0-60 time of less than 4.2 seconds, it places this sixth generation Corvette into a true supercar status.
The C6 retains the relatively good fuel economy of the C5, due in part to its relatively low drag coefficient and low curb weight, achieving 18/27 mpg (city/highway) when equipped with an automatic transmission. The manual version is slightly better at 18/28; like all manual transmission Corvettes since 1989, it is fitted with Computer Aided Gear Selection (CAGS) to improve fuel economy by requiring drivers to shift from 1st gear directly to 4th in low-speed/low-throttle conditions. This feature is what helps the C6 avoid the gas guzzler tax while achieving better fuel economy.
For 2008, the Corvette received a mild freshening: a new LS3 engine with displacement increased to 6.2 L (378 cu in), resulting in 430 hp (321 kW) and 424 lb•ft (575 N•m) of torque (436 HP and 428 TQ if ordered with the optional performance exhaust).
They are tested for performance, durability and safety and are covered by the GM 3-year/36,000-mile (whichever comes first) Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty if installed when installed when you take delivery of your new Corvette (see your dealer for details). These available accessories can be ordered with your Corvette so they're included in your monthly lease or loan payment.
Add more character to the side-cove area of your Corvette with available dealer-installed Body-Side Moldings. Available in Black, Blade Silver Metallic, Jetstream Blue Metallic Tintcoat, Victory Red and prime. Not available on Z06 or ZR1. Help minimize air turbulence in the passenger compartment when the top is down. Constructed of Black aluminum with see-through Black mesh, the available dealer-installed Convertible Windscreen features a Corvette logo that is visible from behind but not in the rearview mirror. The available dealer-installed Transparent Roof Panel provides an open-air feeling even with the roof in place. It's produced with the same specifications as the standard factory panel. A storage bag (sold separately) helps prevent scratches or abrasions when the top is stored in a garage. Also available as a factory option.
