2011 Corvette
From: thecarconnection.com

The Chevrolet Corvette has long been a top performance bargain, but with improvements over the past two years, plus upgrades for 2011, the lineup just keeps getting better.

The 2011 Chevrolet Corvette is a two-door coupe or convertible available in a range of performance trims, including base, Grand Sport, Z06, and ZR1. It competes against the world's best sports cars and supercars, including the Nissan 370Z and GT-R, Porsche Boxster and 911, Dodge Viper, and even Italian exotics - depending on the trim chosen.

The base Corvette coupe and convertible offer sport and style, the Grand Sport kicks it up a notch with track-worthy upgrades, the Z06 is a pure-bred supercar, and the ZR1 goes over the top with speed, power, and raw ability.

The 2011 Corvette packs a solid standard features list and, thanks to a wide range of models and styles, offers a configuration for most budgets.

Across the entire range, standard features include an MP3/CD stereo system, XM Satellite Radio, auxiliary audio input, dual-zone climate control, keyless entry, push-button start, leather seats, steering wheel audio controls, and a six-way power driver's seat.

Optional upgrades include a heads-up instrument display, power passenger seat, heated seats, leather upgrade package, Bluetooth connectivity, navigation, and a range of interior and exterior appearance packages. These features can be added through the various trim levels, or "Preferred Equipment Groups".

The heads-up display deserves special mention, as it's a feature found most often only in high-end luxury cars. It's available in the base and Grand Sport coupes and convertibles in the 3LT and 4LT trims, and as standard equipment on the Z06 and ZR1.
