2007 Chevy Corvette "Victory Edition"
Realy good car!
Chevy Corvette "Victory Edition" released. I realy like this car.
A limited run of only 250 examples of the Victory Edition will be produced.
The Victory Edition is available in two colors, each reflecting Corvette's racing heritage: Black or Velocity Yellow. It is also distinguished on the outside with a body-color, wide rear spoiler and Competition Grey aluminum wheels (18-inch wheels in front and 19-inch wheels in the rear). The interior features two-tone leather-covered seats with Corvette flag emblems and contrasting stitching. Cars with the black exterior feature an Ebony and Red color scheme, while Ebony and Titanium Grey mark the interior of Velocity Yellow cars. Both interiors also feature Competition Grey door sill plates, a carbon-look interior trim package and a unique, numbered Victory Edition badge.

RE: 2007 Chevy Corvette "Victory Edition"
When I try the link nothing comes up, but I doubt it matters. It seems to me there isn't much special about either car except a few decals, etc. and a specific set of color combinations. No real performance gain over stock or anything to get too excited about.

PRESS RELEASE:
Corvette: Limited-Run 'Victory Edition' and Refinements
GENEVA – The sixth-generation Corvette, available as a Coupe or Convertible, is Europe's most popular Corvette model ever. At the beginning of March, Corvette will launch the Victory Edition, a limited-edition model of the Corvette Coupe that commemorates racing success at Le Mans. All Corvette models receive equipment enhancements and refinements for the 2007 model year.
The Corvette Victory Edition celebrates the success of Corvette in sports car racing, particularly the Le Mans 24-Hour event. Since Corvette Racing made its debut in 1999, the team has won more than 50 races, including five class wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans between 2001 and 2006.
A limited run of only 250 examples of the Victory Edition will be produced.
The Victory Edition is available in two colors, each reflecting Corvette's racing heritage: Black or Velocity Yellow. It is also distinguished on the outside with a body-color, wide rear spoiler and Competition Grey aluminum wheels (18-inch wheels in front and 19-inch wheels in the rear). The interior features two-tone leather-covered seats with Corvette flag emblems and contrasting stitching. Cars with the black exterior feature an Ebony and Red color scheme, while Ebony and Titanium Grey mark the interior of Velocity Yellow cars. Both interiors also feature Competition Grey door sill plates, a carbon-look interior trim package and a unique, numbered Victory Edition badge.
The Corvette Victory Edition features a DVD navigation system with touch screen and voice guidance, along with a Luxury Package. This includes heated seats, a memory package with presets for two drivers for the six-way power driver's seat, exterior mirrors and powered telescopic steering wheel. A head-up display, including G-force meter, auto-dimming inside rearview mirror and a premium Bose seven-speaker sound system also are included.
Every Corvette Victory Edition will get a numbered identification interior badge. And, as part of their ownership experience, buyers are invited to participate in a complimentary one-day Corvette Drivers Training event, with professional instructors, at selected race tracks across Europe.
Corvette Coupe and Convertible
The LS2 6.0L small-block V-8, the standard engine in the Corvette, is based on GM's Gen IV small-block family of engines. It has raised the bar for performance in the Corvette, with peak output levels of 297 kW (404 horsepower) and 546 Nm (402 lb.-ft.) of torque.
The Corvette Coupe and Convertible are equipped with the Tremec T56 six-speed manual transmission. The Tremec transmission is available with two sets of ratios; the more aggressive gear set is reserved for Corvette's standard Z51 Performance Package, and is tailored with numerically higher gears to improve acceleration.
Also available is an electronically controlled six-speed paddle shift automatic transmission, featuring clutch-to-clutch operation, manual control shift operation and an integrated 32-bit electronic controller. A wide overall ratio helps deliver exciting acceleration performance along with good fuel economy.
Configured with the six-speed automatic transmission, the Corvette is capable of reaching a top speed of 300 km/h (approximately 186 mph) and 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration in just 4.8 seconds.
Chassis and suspension
The overall Corvette design philosophy is founded on its low-weight, hydroformed steel rail backbone structure, cored composite floors, an enclosed center tunnel, rear-mounted transmission and aluminum cockpit structure. The sixth-generation Corvette generation also has robust brakes and tuned body acoustics to deliver a quiet, pleasing ride.
A short-long arm and transverse leaf spring independent suspensions at both the front and rear are Corvette hallmarks, and contribute greatly to its exciting driving character. Goodyear Extended Mobility Tires take advantage of the latest sidewall design and compound technology for run-flat capabilities. Optimized suspension and steering geometry, along with advanced compounds in the tires, result in a fast car that is easy to drive. Two suspension choices allow drivers to choose the setup that best suits their driving style.
The optional F55 Magnetic Selective Ride Control suspension features magneto-rheological dampers able to detect road surfaces and adjust the damping rates to those surfaces almost instantly for optimal ride control. The system has been improved to deliver more differentiation between the system's "Tour" and "Sport" settings.
Three dynamic chassis control systems – anti-lock braking, traction control and Active Handling – operate in concert to provide a strong but unobtrusive safety net for spirited driving. The stability controls share sensors for steering angle, wheel speed and acceleration and deceleration in all directions.
Exterior
Four round taillamps continue as a Corvette rear styling trademark. Four circular exhaust tips are also integrated into the rear diffuser and pick up the circular theme established by the taillamps. At 0.28 coefficient of drag, the sixth-generation Corvette is the most aerodynamic ever, with improved anti-lift characteristics that improve high-speed stability. The ability to keep lines and surfaces smooth was supported by technology. For example, the Keyless Access system replaces traditional mechanical door and hatch handles with solenoids and electronic actuators.
The Corvette has an overall length of 4,435 mm (174.6 in.) and an overall width of 1,844 mm (72.5 in.) – efficient packaging that enables generous interior space and class-leading cargo space that can easily accommodate two golf bags.
The Corvette Coupe offers a removable roof panel that can be stowed under the hatchback in the luggage area. Painted body color as standard, it is available with an optional tinted clear panel.
Advanced technology
GM's Keyless Access with Push Button Start technology allows access by detecting the proximity of the key fob. The system both unlocks the doors and allows it to be started. An AM/FM radio with CD player and MP3 capability is standard. New technology enhances conventional radio reception despite the antenna being completely concealed within the windshield glass. Optional features include a DVD navigation system with voice touch screen and guidance.
A menu-selectable head-up display can be projected onto the windshield in the line of sight on the road ahead, allowing the driver to focus on driving while still being able to monitor vehicle speed and other critical vehicle information. There are two settings: "Street" and "Track." Each setting is pre-programmed to display relevant information for either driving on regular streets or on a race track.
Corvette Convertible
As the Corvette was designed from the outset to be an open car, there is no compromise in ride, handling or performance when compared to the Coupe. The Corvette Convertible features a power-operated soft top, a feature that last appeared on the car in 1962. The power top features a single-button control and completes its cycle in 18 seconds. The canvas soft top is ava
