In the midst of their financial nightmares, GM have still found time to tweak the Corvette.
This set of modifications is being called the 'Competition Sport Package', and is specifically designed for the Corvette 1LT and Z06, and it certainly looks the part.
The package includes various Corvette Racing 'Jake' skull and CSR decals, dramatic exterior stripes in what GM lovingly calls 'Competition Gray', as well as different alloys and sleek new headlamps. On the inside the package adds more decals, racing pedals, and a new ebony colour scheme with something called 'titanium embroidery', which we can't quite imagine until we see it.
GM says that the kit is aimed at drivers who want to attend track days and events in their 'Vettes, but alone it does seem to be purely aesthetic. The only modification under the Corvette's skin seems to be a new engine cover.
The package is probably intended to be combined with the pre-existing Z51 performance kit, which brings stiffer springs and dampers, improved cooling and exhaust, closer gear ratios and uprated brakes and rubber.
As yet there are no prices released for the Competition Sport Package or any of its elements. But when the standard ZR1 already carries a hefty £109k price tag, GM will have to be careful not to price the flagship 'Vette out of the market.
