(from GM Press
Release) The sixth-generation, all-new 2005 Corvette is
already considered a benchmark performance vehicle. For the
enthusiast, however, such a benchmark is just a starting point to
build something even better. Special high-performance features
produce an estimated 25-horsepower boost to the LS2 engine’s normal
400-hp output. Added to this power are subtle styling features that
put this Victory Red Corvette convertible on an even faster track.
