Since the Chevrolet Corvette introduced the industry’s first fiberglass body in 1953, Chevrolet has been developing a legacy of performance, luxury, and innovation in the sports car market. Corvette is currently in its sixth-generation and offers dramatic styling that is as functional as it is powerful and distinctive, featuring a leaner, precise and expressive look. The 2009 Chevy Corvette’s stunning looks complement its awesome performance and long list of innovative technologies.
Corvette’s cockpit surrounds its occupants with the ultimate in premium sports car form and function. From seats crafted specifically for performance driving, to the state-of-the-art instrument cluster technology and optional heads-up display, being behind the wheel of a 2009 Corvette is a sports car enthusiast’s dream.
Under the hood, the 6.2 Liter LS3 V8 - standard in coupe and convertible-produces an SAE-certified 430 horsepower at 5900 rpm. Power output is even higher with the available dual-mode exhaust system with 436 hp at 5900 rpm. Yet the engine achieves a remarkable EPA estimated 26 MPG highway with the standard six-speed manual transmission. Even with its impressive performance, the engine does not incur a federal gas-guzzler penalty unlike many other cars in its class.
For decades the Corvette has been America’s sports car. Some things don’t change. Come on in to Davis-Moore and see for yourself!
