And with a curb weight of only 3,175 pounds, it's the lightest, best-balanced Corvette model and one of the most svelte supercars on the market. (continued below)

Silver
- New interior custom color stitching option, in red, blue or yellow
- USB port and input jack included with the navigation radio.

offered on the Corvette ZR1
