The growing Corvette lineup for 2010 includes the Corvette coupe and Corvette convertible, each powered by the 430-horsepower (321 kW) LS3 V-8, and the racing-inspired Corvette Z06. Equipped with the 505-horsepower (377 kW) LS7 engine and built on a lightweight chassis, the Z06 is a street-going descendent of the championship-winning Corvette racing program. 

Also available for 2010 is the all-new Grand Sport model, evoking one of the most storied names in Corvette history; and the Corvette ZR1. Equipped with a unique, supercharged LS9 6.2L engine, the ZR1 is the fastest, most powerful car ever offered by Chevrolet. 

New for 2010
Here are the new features and content changes for the 2010 Corvette lineup:

•Torch Red returns to the exterior color palette

•Cashmere interior offered on Z06 and ZR1– with Cashmere custom leather-wrapped interior offered later in the model year

•New interior console trim in Orbit and Gunmetal patterns
 
•Side air bags are standard on all models

•Optional crossed-flags logo embroidery for seats

•The Z06 3LZ package now includes power sport seats and power passenger seats.

•Launch control is standard with all manual-transmission models

•Revised six-speed automatic paddle shift control now includes a “push and hold” feature that enables an easier return to the automatic mode
 
•Convertible models include the tall rear spoiler from the Z06

•Launch control optimizes performance for full-throttle starts on a track. In competitive mode, the system will hold a predetermined engine speed while the driver pushes the throttle to the floor. That allows the driver to quickly release the clutch and the system modulates engine torque 100 times per second to maximize the available traction. The system is capable of approaching a skilled driver’s best effort and repeats it consistently.
