2006 | 2dr Convertible 400-horsepower 6.0L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
I can travel for many miles (one time was 16 hours between Portland and Casper Wyoming) straight through with perfect comfort. Dial the seat into what is comfortable for me (many choices including lumbar support, and wings that fold in or out around you) see full Chevrolet Corvette review |
