Vehicle Highlights
Trim packages commemorating racing Corvettes are the main 2004 additions to Chevrolet's sports car. Corvette comes in three configurations: a hatchback with a removable roof panel, a convertible with manual fabric top and heated glass rear window, and as the fixed-roof Z06 coupe. All use a 5.7-liter V8. Convertibles and hatchbacks have 350 hp and a 4-speed automatic transmission or optional 6-speed manual. The Z06 has 405 hp and comes only with the manual. ABS and antiskid/traction control are standard. Available for the convertible and hatchback is Magnetic Selective Ride Control. Set by a console switch to "Touring" or "Sport" modes, it's designed to automatically adjust shock-absorber firmness based on road conditions and driving style. The Commemorative Edition coupe and convertible feature special badges, LeMans-blue paint, and polished wheels. The commemorative Z06 adds race-inspired body stripes and a carbon-fiber hood.
