The new Chevy Corvette has all performance systems including
engine, transmission, chassis, tires and suspension. Standard
Active Handling works in conjunction with Traction Control and
ABS on select 03 and 2005 - 2006 Chevrolet Corvettes, making
maximum use of available traction to assist the driver, when
needed, in keeping the car in line with steering input.
The 2006 Chevrolet Corvette has a chassis, which is all
aluminum, hydro formed in similar dies to those used to build
the standard steel C6 frame. Magnesium and carbon fiber parts
are also used to help contain the total curb weight to less than
3150 pounds.
The front grille is larger, and an additional small scoop in
front of the hood gulps cool intake air. Barely visible from a
distance, 1-centimeter-wide black strips follow the wheel
arches, oriented at a right angle to the fender.
An all-new LS7 7.0-liter V-8 (the displacement works out to 427
cubic inches) is said to churn out 500 horsepower. It will also
be fitted with wider tires and larger Brembo brakes. Body
modifications include a high-rise hood, deep side skirts and
cooling ducts ahead of the rear wheels.
The car's larger-displacement engine and lightweight are claimed
to deliver 0-to-60-mph acceleration times of less than 4
seconds, a 12-second quarter-mile and a top speed of more than
190 mph on the track. Just as the base engine grew to 6.0 liters
and became the LS2, the Z06 power plant has grown to 7.0 liters
and becomes the LS7 V-8. It
