2011 Chevrolet Corvette Z06

(continued from above)

Indeed, racing is in the Corvette Z06's DNA and many owners' cars see double duty as daily drivers and weekend road course warriors. It's what the car was designed for and, compared to other sports cars that cost up to double - or more - the Z06 offers competitive levels of performance at a lower price.

Chevrolet brings significant updates to the Z06 for 2011, with special packages and new options that enhance performance and styling, while also offering greater personalization choices. They include:

• New standard Goodyear F1 Supercar Gen 2 tires and exhaust system tuning
• New Z07 Performance Package
• New CFZ Carbon Fiber Package
• Z06 Carbon limited-edition model
• Two new exterior colors: Inferno Orange and Supersonic Blue, bringing the total to 10 exterior color choices for all models
• Available contrasting-color headlamps, in Cyber Gray, Black or Blade Silver
• New interior custom color stitching option, in red, blue or yellow
• USB port and input jack included with the navigation radio.

The Z07 Performance Package brings greater handling and braking capability to the Z06, with:

• Brembo ceramic brakes, with gray metallic calipers, similar to those offered on the Corvette ZR1
• Magnetic Ride Control
• Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires
• Twenty-spoke wheels in competition gray (19 x 10-inch front, 20 x 12-inch rear).
