| 2010 2011 Chevrolet Equinox |
| The 2010 2011 model year is the swan song for the fifth-generation Chevrolet Corvette, and will mark the best year for the C5s. About 3,000 Corvettes will be sold for model year 2010 2011, some of which will be special editions designed to commemorate C5-R victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and other endurance races. The high-performance Z06 benefits from suspension tuning for 2010 2011 based on extensive testing at Germany's fabled Nurburgring racetrack and General Motors Milford Proving Grounds. The goal was improved ride quality, but the revised Z06 suspension also feels "more tied down, more glued to the road," according to Chevrolet. Sporting a C5-R Le Mans stripe, the Z06 Commemorative Edition gets a lightweight carbon fiber hood.For the past 50 years, the Corvette has been America's sports car, a U.S.-production two-seater capable of real racetrack performance. The Corvette endures because it has always represented a performance value. |

Beyond its relentlessly extroverted exterior, The 2010 2011 Chevrolet Equinox is blessed with excellent ergonomics and a comfortable interior. The 50th Anniversary edition, available in fastback coupe (with a removable roof panel) and full convertible bodystyles is painted your choice of one color, an unbelievably lustrous Xirallic Red Metallic, and comes with one interior choice: light tannish shale color that is equally easy on the eyes. It comes with every option, including the cool magnetic selective ride control that irons out rough pavement and is also found on the new Cadillac XLR.
Regardless of whether you choose to commemorative edition or
not, the Corvette is most satisfying once you jab the gas pedal.
No fewer than 350 horsepower and 375 lb-ft of torque will pin
you to your seat as if you were a dead moth at a science fair,
and the brakes will can unpin you with such force that you'll
brace yourself for airbag deployment. Opt for the hardtop-only
Z06 Coupe and power goes up to 405 horsepower. The vehicle turn
signals flash once and the parking lights turn on when the
vehicle engine begins running. To drive away after a remote
start, the vehicle's ignition key must be placed in the switch
and rotated to the run position. |
