2010 Corvette

• For 2010 Corvette the Z06 returns in Torch Red and all Z06 models are now offered in all eight standard exterior colors.

• Launch control is standard with all manual-transmission models.

• Revised six-speed automatic paddle shift control now includes a “push and hold” feature that enables an easier return to the automatic mode. 

• Side air bags are standard on all models.
• New interior console trim in Orbit and Gunmetal patterns.
• Optional crossed-flags logo embroidery for seats.
• Convertible models include the tall rear spoiler from the Z06.
• Cashmere interior offered on Z06, ZR1 – with Cashmere custom leather-wrapped interior offered later in the model year.

The new launch control system allows full-throttle start performance for all traction situations. In the competitive mode, the system will hold a calculated engine speed while the driver inputs full throttle.
The task of modulating engine torque via the clutch is turned over to the computer which modulates engine torque 100 times a second. This allows the driver to dump the clutch at full speed and not worry about losing traction!
