2009 Chevrolet Corvette Quickfacts

Play by Your Rules. Corvette has followed its own formula as an American original since 1953. With capability like 190 mph on the test track for the coupe and an EPA estimated 26 MPG highway,1 Corvette Z06 registers a test-track top speed of 198 mph and has an EPA estimated 24 MPG highway.2 Now, Corvette’s bandwidth expands even further with the return of the Corvette ZR1.3 Powered by a supercharged 638-hp LS9 V8, it has a test-track top speed of 205 mph — a stunning, new performance benchmark for a GM production car.

Corvette Z06 shown in Velocity Yellow Tintcoat (extra-cost color) with available spider design chrome aluminum wheels.
