2007 Corvette convertibleThe 2007 Corvette Coupe is the only trim that has a removable roof panel; all the other trims have fixed roofs. Even though the 2007 Corvette is loaded already there are Premium upgrades for the LZ1 which are a navigation aid, and a CD changer. Externally, the only visible difference from the 2007 Corvette is a set of optional twin-spoke wheels that mimic those from the Z06. And, like other 2007 Corvettes, the Z06 has a new, smaller-diameter three-spoke steering wheel that provides a more agile, performance-oriented feel.

The 2007 Corvette prices range from $45,000 for the coupe, $52,900 for the convertible, to $69,000 for the Z06. The 2007 Corvette is the best sports car, dollar for dollar, in the world. Whether you are looking for beauty, performance, or luxury, the 2007 Corvette measures up.

2007 Corvette coupeThe 2007 Corvette has seven trims that range from the Coupe LT1 to the Z06 LZ2. The customary features on the Chevrolet Corvette are numerous and include: driver/passenger airbags, power accessories, traction control, stability control, alloy wheels (with optional chrome wheels), keyless entry, remote controls, remote releases, vehicle/radio anti-theft, anti-lockout, intermittent wipers, heated/power adjustable mirrors, tinted glass, rear defroster, dual automatic climate controls, cruise, outside temperature gauge, tilt steering, driver power adjustable seat (passenger also on the Convertible L2), leather interior, automatic and high intensity discharge headlamps, fog lights, and daytime running lights. The 2007 Chevrolet Corvette has a hefty MSRP starting price of $44,200 and extends as high as $69,000.

The changes involve everything from an all-new, larger and more powerful V-8 engine to refinements in driving characteristics that solidify the Corvettes position as the preeminent American sports car and further the argument that it is one of the world’s best. As a result, the standard Corvette is true super car, capable of 190 mph. Wheels on the 2007 Corvette Coupe and Convertible models come with a new split-spoke wheel design for 2008. The coupe and convertible models of the new Corvette are powered by a 6 liter 430 horsepower engine.

The Z06 version is still the fastest and most powerful production Corvette ever, thanks to its 7 liter 505 horsepower engine. To further set it apart from the standard new Corvette, the Z06 uses all-new wheels, tires, brakes, as well as its own rear spring and roll stabilizer and the six-speed transmission that the engine is mated to has a limited slip differential. The Corvette Z06’s power train and drive train systems are matched to the LS7’s performance capability. Sure, gas prices are insane and Chevy bumped up the price almost five grand, but the Corvette Z06 is still spectacularly cool.

2007 Corvette Z06Developed alongside the Corvette C6R race car, the 2007 Corvette Z06 uses advanced lightweight materials typically found only in the most exotic supercars. The 2007 Corvette Z06 is more differentiated from the standard Corvette than any other Z06 in history with every design element serving a performance function. The Z06 also has a revised gauge cluster that displays the Z06 logo on the 7000-redline tachometer and has a new readout on the oil pressure gauge to reflect the higher standard pressure of the dry-sump oiling system. The seats feature two-tone leathering surfaces, with Z06-logo embroidery and contrasting stitching. Uncompromising amenities for all its race-inspired functionality, the Z06 is designed to be a daily drivable high-performance vehicle.

2007 Corvette LS7The 2007 Corvette Z06 has a wider tire size, and more aerodynamic body. The Z06 is powered by a 7 liter 505 horsepower engine. The Z06 also looks different from the standard Corvette. The Z06 is distinguished from other Corvettes by lots of subtle appearance tweaks, starting with the roof. To improve the weight distribution of the 2007 Corvette, the battery in the Z06 is mounted in the rear, and the fenders and the floor panels are made of carbon fiber. In back, the Z06 spoiler is slightly more prominent, and its exhaust outlets are wider, too (four inches in diameter at the tips). Chevrolet has announced that the fastest Corvette ever—the 505-horsepower Corvette Z06—will achieve 0-60 mph in 3. These gains are due mostly to technology derived from the Z06's 505-bhp LS7, including its fuel injectors, as well as other improvements like better-flowing heads feeding larger valves that are actuated by offset rockers.

2007 Corvette Z06 options include a Bose audio system with an in-dash six-CD changer, polished wheels, a telescoping steering wheel, heated seats, side air bags, a navigation system with GPS, Homelink and XM Satellite Radio. Future Z06 buyers will be glad to know the Premium Equipment package is available to them as well. This combination of heritage and sophistication gives the Corvette a uniquely American blend of performance, swagger, and everyday livability characteristics that are all amplified in the 505-hp Z06 version. Apart from being three inches wider, the Z06 sports a distinguished front fascia, grille, fenders, and quarter panels.

2007 Corvette is fast, luxurious and smooth. The 2007 Corvette is a 2-door, 2-passenger sports car, or convertible sports car, available in 7 trims, ranging from the Coupe LT1 to the Z06 LZ2. Prices start at $44,250 for the coupe and $52,590 for the convertible, making the 2007 Corvette one of the best performance bargains in the automotive industry today. When you compare the 2007 Corvette Z06 performance stats to other supercars, you see numerous examples where you’re getting better performance with Corvette for one-third the sticker price of the competition. The 2007 Corvette is the nonpareil sports car, dollar for dollar, in the world.
