Chevrolet announces 2009 Corvette Competition Sport Edition
General Motors is spicing up its non-ZR1 Corvette line with a new Competition Sport package for the 2009 model-year. There’s a bit of substance here, as the kit adds the Z51 Performance Package, performance exhaust system, differential cooler and a set of racing pedals to the standard 1LT package, resulting in a power peak of 436 horsepower. Those planning on actually visiting the track can opt for the race-ready Z06 package and its 505-horsepower 7.0L V8. Visual mods for both versions include Competition Gray stripes, wheels and headlamps along with a splattering of “Jake” and CSR logos inside and out. A set of racing numbers will also be delivered to the buyer based on the particular car’s build sequence. The official announcement from GM is pasted after the break.
