The mythical 1990 ZR-1 |  Corvette Competition: special edition at a special price
Corvette Competition: special edition at a special price Gallery: http://corvetteactioncenter.com/gall...y.php/cat/6089 - Limited-edition model with strong links to motor sport
- Limited production, competitive price
- Rear spoiler from Z06 and alloy wheels in dark grey
In addition to the limited-edition Corvette Victory Edition, a second special version of the all-American sports car will be introduced this spring, the Corvette Competition. This model, built in limited numbers on the basis of the C6 Coupé, bears strong links to motor sport too, in which the Corvette has proven highly successful. The Corvette Competition will be offered at a competitive price.
The new Corvette Competition is launched to celebrate the start of a new racing season. The 56th edition of the legendary Sebring Twelve Hours on 15 March was the first race in the American Le Mans Series championship (ALMS). In Sebring Corvette Racing scored another double victory in the GT1 category. The special Competition version of ALMS-champion Corvette bears subtle resemblances to the successful C6.R race car. The number of available options on the new car is limited, in order to save as much weight as possible. Another point in common are the air scoops with honeycomb pattern in the front grill and in between the double twin exhaust pipes at the rear. The rear spoiler, borrowed from the Z06 model, not only contributes to excellent aerodynamic properties but is evidence to the Corvette’s fine motor sport heritage as well. The bold looks of the Corvette Competition are complemented by 5-spoke alloys (18 inch at the front, 19 inch at the rear) in the colour Competition Grey. Another distinguishing feature of this limited-edition Corvette is its body colour: black.
The Corvette Competition boasts a 6.2 V8 engine and choice of a 6-speed manual gearbox or automatic transmission. Delivery of the new Corvette model starts in April 2008, and the car can be ordered from authorized Corvette dealers as of now.

Without sounding too jaded - it looks like the Marketing guys a working overtime this year. At this rate it looks like everyone will own some sort of "limited edition" car in 2008.

Remo | I was just thinking the same thing Remo. I hope the Corvette Competition offers some performance upgrades along with the eye candy stuff.
