Chevrolet Corvette C6 6.2 V8 Convertible

The Corvette is too fast and too ferocious

Advantages: Good 6-speed automatic transmission. Good ride quality, pure Americana
Disadvantages: Might ruin your hairstyle, causes wind-blown hair !

The Chevrolet Convertible, is a pure American emotional drive. If there is one car in the world that is absolutely 100% Americana...I believe its the Chevrolet Corvette. Back in the 50s a group of core engineers at Chevrolet were designated to create an American sports-car...and "bish-bash-bosh"...6 generations later...you have the C6 Chevrolet Convertible being reviewed. I'm going to take a peek inside, and yes it does actually have a boot as well. But lets start by looking under the bonnet. Okay "hood" open. I can see it has the LS2 engine, and you better believe it, its a big piece of American iron. Call it 6 litres if you want. I'm going to call it 364 cubic inches, I don't know when and where exactly the litres came in, long ago it was all about cubic inches. This motor has 400 hp and 400 lbs-ft (542 Nm) of torque...which in my ...

So you want to know about Corvettes - right...

Advantages: same as before only windier
Disadvantages: same as before only windier

, it also left the Corvette as America?s ONLY true sports car and, effectively, defined Chevrolet?s niche for them. Coupled to the fact that enthusiasts were beginning to go racing with the car now that it finally had a decent engine, things slowly began to improve. In ?56, three variants of the V8 motor were offered, the most powerful of which, kicked out 240 hp. The car was now quick by any standards and it began not only to compete in races but also to win. The legend was finally growing and the petrol heads began to buy Corvettes. By 1962, when the C1 was about to be replaced by the all-new C2 the most powerful variants were putting out 360 hp from their 327 cubic inch ?fuelie? (fuel injected) motors. These were seriously quick cars, even by today?s standards. In ?62 they must have been rocket ships! 1963 saw the release of the C2 ...

Review of Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

Corvette ZO6 is passionate Americana engineering

Advantages: 505 hp, immense brakes and great handling qualities
Disadvantages: gives you awestruckness !

The 2007 Chevrolet Corvette ZO6..is a passionate piece of American Engineering. In fact as I drive past, everybody in the street has got to look at it. Its not so passionate as it is technologically advanced. This vehicle has an Aluminium frame. The roof is made of magnesium. It has a great power to weight ratio. The Chevrolet Corvette is an icon. In 1953 when the car was introduced only 300 were made and even given to people like John Wayne to look good to drive around in. 1954 came and the car had hard sales..it almost died. Its amazing that this car has made it through 6 incarnations to become the ZO6 in the 2007 model year. To me this car is the epitome everything Chevrolet can take and form into a performance car. It has 505hp, incredible brakes, incredible suspension and on top of all that..it has a head-up display, great leather ...
