For the C6, Chevy went a step further by dropping in an LS2 all-aluminum 6-liter V-8 wielding horsepower and foot-pounds of torque.
The C6 was capable of reaching zero to 60 in 4. The C6 Z51 package featured a horsepower version while the Z06 model was equipped with a horsepower LS7 7-liter V-8 capable of reaching 60 in 3. The even more impressive ZR1 horsepower 7-liter could reach a top speed of mph. A four-speed automatic or six-speed Tremec T56 manual transmission complemented the C5 and C6 engines. Buyers could order a six-speed automatic for the C6 in Not only did Chevy inject mammoth power into its C6, the automaker made it a more taught machine.
The C5 sat on a Chevy placed the C6 on a The base model of the C5 comes with While the C6 base model comes with more at While you get more leg room with the C6, you lose out on cargo space. This loss is pretty significant at almost three cubic feet less.
Another small difference between the two cars is the material the seats are made out of. The C5 has leather with vinyl trim seats. The C6 model loses the vinyl and has full leather seats. This gives the car a more modern and luxurious feel. Sure, everyone thinks of that bright red when they think of Corvette, there's even a song about it. But, the Corvette comes in many other color options. Let's explore. For the C5, owners had the option of choosing from white, two different silver shades, two blue shades, black, two red shades, yellow and dark hunter green.
For the interior, the options are black, light oak, light grey and a bold red. Convertible models also come with a choice for top colors.
These options are white, black, shale and light oak. Many of the same colors continued through the C6 generation from the C5. You'll find the same blue, white, black and silver. Another yellow became available, so now future owners have their choice of two different yellows. When it comes to red, there were four different shades chosen. This is unprecedented when it comes to vehicle production. A new color, orange, was also added. When it comes to the interior, there are new names, but it is the same basic colors, red, tan, black and grey.
The same goes for convertible tops, beige, grey and black. When it comes to special editions, Chevy loves producing them. They will find almost any reason to create a special edition Corvette. During the C5 generation, the Corvette turned 50, and with it, a special edition anniversary model came out. In , the 50th Anniversary Edition sported a unique deep, dark burgundy red paint.
Picking the C4 does mean forgoing some of the performance gains that were introduced with successive generations. However, the C4, with a platform dating back to the mids, is a simpler, rawer machine and arguably a more engaging car to drive. Also, unlike its younger brothers, the C4 has a distinctive period design which has long been been under-appreciated but is getting more and more notice of late.
This newfound respect is likely to lead to increasing values in the near future — especially as kids who grew up with C4 posters on their walls find themselves with enough spare cash to make that childhood fantasy come true.
Thirteen years after the C4 first appeared, the first C5 generation Corvettes rolled into showrooms — a completely new design and better in most every way, save perhaps one controversial design element. But under the skin all was good, with a new, all-aluminum 5. As with the later years of the C4, a base C5 Corvette is all a driving enthusiast needs. With a time of 4. And therein lies its charm: daily driver livability along with stunning performance capability and everyman affordability.
Note that there were a few special editions of the C5. The C6 Corvette has a deep side cove with a B-pillar that inclines backward, whereas on the C5 Corvette the B-pillar leans forward. The vertical pillars on the C6 are also more defined, lending a bolder body style to the Corvette when compared to the more demure version.
While exterior features create the lustrous look of the Corvette, it is the interior design that creates the comfort. Both the and models have two-passenger seating but the internal dimensions differ slightly. The Base Coupe Corvette has Despite having more leg space, the Corvette has less cargo room than the Corvette. With all seats in place, the model has almost three cubic feet less of cargo space than the model. Full leather upholstery enhances the modern feel of the Corvette interior, while the version exudes a more traditional feeling with leather seating and vinyl trimming.
According to Motor Trend, this feature is especially popular in European markets where flashing high-beam headlights to pass is more common than in American markets. Overall, the C6 has undeniably considerable differences from the C5 Corvette.
