In the performance-per-dollar race, the Chevrolet Corvette is still one of the leaders, despite encroachment by Nissan's GT-R and others. For 2009, Corvette is planning a new 'Competition Sport' package for Z51 and Z06 models that focuses on adding a bit more capability without unduly compromising daily comfort.
The big 6.2L and 7.0L LS3 and LS7 engines at the heart of the eligible Corvettes already create an abundance of power, so instead of going that route, Corvette decided to further tune the suspension and stopping power of the Competition Sport cars. The 1LT Coupe does get a slight 6hp (4kW) bump in power, however, thanks to a slightly less restrictive exhaust.

For the 1LT Coupes, the Z51 performance package is included, meaning bigger brakes, stiffer springs, reworked dampers, a new differential cooler for the limited-slip diff and a different axle ratio combine to improve track-day responsiveness and capability without taking the car to the extremes of the Z06 or ZR-1. The upgrade to the Z06 equipped with the Competition Sport package are purely cosmetic, however.

A unique engine cover, racing pedals, a set of custom race numbers, custom wheels, ebony/titanium interior scheme and exterior graphics complete the package, promising as much race-day appearance as performance. The package will be available in Q1, 2009 but pricing has not yet been announced.

 

I like the fogs, wheels, and stripes. I don't like the decal on the side and black housing headlights. It makes the projectors stand out too much and the housing seems to look way too big and exaggerated.

 

So this is what my bailout tax money is doing at GM eh.........

 

all these stupid ideas that gm has are just a waste they should go under and they will one day!

 

I could do without those cheezy exterior graphics.

 

+1....I'm sure the stickers can peel right off tho; they are probably a separate option anyway.




huh? would you rather see them spending billions more on redeveloping the corvette?

these are mid-cycle enhancements for the C6 that are intended to attract more buyers with very little (if any) development costs.

 

Been hanging out on the C6 forums a bit, not a single owner would put the numbers decals on but most all are excited about the package. It's a good value...

Here's another value:
2009 Z06 Corvette: Sticker $77K Today: $65K
505HP - 470 ft-lbs torque
0-60mph 3.9 sec
ACTUAL mileage- 16 city, 27 hwy

 

You don't understand Corvette fans, they will buy any special edition Corvette. Looks like a great value if you want a Vette for track days, but can't get a Z06.
