The sixth-generation, all-new 2005 Corvette is already considered a benchmark performance vehicle. For the enthusiast, however, such a benchmark is just a starting point to build something even better. Special high-performance features produce an estimated 25-horsepower boost to the LS2 engine’s normal 400-hp output. Added to this power are subtle styling features that put this Victory Red Corvette convertible on an even faster track.
Vehicle Highlights:
- LS2 V-8 with custom air box and CNC-machined cylinder heads that increase the engine’s horsepower to approximately 425
- Short-throw shifter for the six-speed manual transmission; shifter is topped with an aluminum shift knob
- Aluminum parking brake handle complements new look of shifter
- Suspension dropped to lowest level recommended by factory specifications
- Free-flow exhaust system engineered by Borla Performance Industries
- Storage options increase with addition of pouches behind front seats
- Rear-mounted CD/DVD system facilitates inclusion of a DVD-based navigation system
- 10-spoke polished aluminum wheels
- Body-colored engine trim covers
- Body-colored interior trim pieces
- Aluminum door sill plates
- Functional wind screen / blocker
- Tasteful body stripe
