Chevy Corvette offers tons of variety during its C6 run

Visually, the C6 that arrived for 2005 is most easily distinguished from its predecessor with fixed headlights.

The fixed headlights replaced the pop-ups that were a Corvette staple for more than 40 years.

The cabin was larger for improved passenger comfort and offered navigation for the first time.

A 6.0-liter V8 making 400 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque served as the C6's base powerplant in the beginning connected to either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic gearbox.

The base engine would grow to 6.2-liters for 2008 and offered 430 horses and 424 pound-feet of torque.

Following a one-year hiatus, the Z06 model returned to the lineup in 2006 equipped with a 7.0-liter V8 delivering 505 horses and 470 pound-feet of torque.

To reduce weight, the Z06 was based on an aluminum frame instead of steel and its engine cradle was constructed from magnesium.

To visually set itself apart from standard Vettes, it got a front bumper air inlet, larger carbon fiber front fenders, and brake cooling ducts integrated into the wider rear fenders.

The C6 generation of the Corvette also included the reintroduction of the ZR1 model in 2009.

Internally known at GM as "Blue Devil," the super Vette used a supercharged engine with 638 horsepower giving it a top speed of 205 mph.
