1953 would be a landmark year for Chevrolet and the American automotive industry, as the Chevrolet Corvette was born. Since then, the Corvette has been America's ambassador of a home-grown sports car that can take on the world's best. Every generation has seen improvements and enhancements. You won't find anyone who really doesn't like a Corvette; what you will find are countless numbers of people who aspire to own one at some point in their lives. We are there to facilitate that dream, with cars up for sale, such as this 2006 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe with 95,000 miles on the clock and hailing from the sixth or C6 generation.

Exterior and Interior

Every generation was groundbreaking over the last, and the C6 is no different. Gone were the pop-up headlamps that were a mainstay for four generations. Tom Peters created a shorter, tauter design, and the Corvette looked more toned and muscular. However, interior space was increased as a result of better packaging. This 2006 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe showcases those lines which have aged well in its Machine Silver paintwork and rolls on polished aluminum wheels. The current owner reports that a paint-matched removable hard top and a clear plastic hard top are included in the sale. Look closer, and you'll notice details such as the distinctive quad tail lamps, quad exhausts, and that overall stance that makes a Corvette what it is. Now, open the driver's door and step aboard. Corvettes have always been two-seat jobs, and this one is no different. The black interior and leather seats have aged well and looking closer, you'll see that there's plenty of tech aboard. Corvettes always packed the latest and greatest tech that Chevrolet had to offer, as is expected of a halo car. Dual-zone climate control, heated seats, and a premium audio system are all on offer, as is the OnStar system. The only upgrade we can see is that the original stereo head unit has been replaced with a more modern Pioneer Mixtrax double-din system with a touch screen.

Engine

Corvettes always come with V8s, and the LS2 beneath the hood of this 2006 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe displaces 6.0L, producing 400hp and 400lb-ft. Driving the rear wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission with steering-mounted buttons for manual gear selection, zero to sixty flashes up in under five seconds.
