2005 Chevrolet Corvette C6 Forum

Sleek and aerodynamic shape. Corvette's of the early 1980s may have looked aerodynamic, but they created so much turbulence at highway speeds. Rumor has it that when they turned it backwards in the wind tunnel, it had a lower coefficient of drag (CD). Last generation of Chevrolet Corvette, the C5 had a slick .300 Cd. But this new C6 cuts that to an impressive .286 Cd.

OK, OK, let's get to with the main question about the 2005 Chevrolet Corvette C6 Forum, How fast is the 2005 Chevrolet Corvette C6? Top speed is a zippy 186 mph. It will launch you from 0-60 in about 4.2 seconds in the base car. Chevrolet's Corvette C6 has a better power-to-weight ratio than the outgoing 911. The C6 has been stretched an inch, But the 2005 Corvette C6 is a full five inches shorter and more than an inch narrower than last generation.

The Chevrolet Corvette C6 almost same footprint as a Porsche 911. The base C6 coupe is 35 pounds lighter, to 3179 lb. These seem like small improvements but the C5 was a great car, the C6 has small changes all over the place. When you add it up, it's a tremendous difference all together. The C6 Corvette has an LS2 V-8, a full 6.0-liters of heart, the sucker cranks an impressive 400 lb-ft of torque at 400 horsepower. The engine mounting has been optimized and weight balance improved to an amazingly balanced 51/49. For wimps and chicks there's a four-speed automatic. But any real man will want the new, six-speed Tremec transaxle. The gear level and the throw have been shortened. Having performance gearing, the Z51 package is almost even with the old C5 Z06 which was a bad mutha vette.
