Evolving
each year, the Chevrolet Corvette
has been around for decades and is
the ultimate luxury car rental for
sports car enthusiasts. One of the
only sports cars manufactured by an
American company, the Corvette has
seen several changes throughout the
years and only gets better with age.
Available
in three different models, the Corvette
features an impressive engine that seems
to increase in power each time a new
version is released. The 2008 standard
Corvette coupe and convertible models
both have a 6.2-liter V8 engine underneath
the hood that generates 430 horsepower,
30 more than the 2007 model. The Corvette
Z06 coupe features a 7.0-liter V8 engine
that generates 505 horsepower and 470
pound-feet of torque, perfect for those
who seek a powerful exotic car rental.
On top of being more powerful, the Corvette
engine is also known for being less
complex, which enables it to run better
and be manufactured for a lower price.
Each
of the three Corvette models features
a six-speed manual gearbox and the corvette
and standard coupe have an optional
six-speed paddle-shift automatic. Interior
amenities, such as keyless entry/startup,
full power accessories, satellite radio,
leather seating, a six-way power driver
seat, dual-zone climate control and
an OnStar navigation system make the
Chevrolet car rental seem more like
a sedan than a sports car.
There
are also several different optional
packages to choose from in order to
enhance exterior, interior or functional
features. Both the convertible and coupe
can be outfitted with customized two-tone
leather, a transparent roof panel, driver-seat
memory and a head-up display while the
Z51 can be upgraded to handle better
through additional cooling, stiffer
suspension calibrations, larger brakes
with cross-drilled rotors, specific
tires and shorter gearing.
