The Competition Sport Package will be available on the ’09 Corvette Coupe 1LT and Z06 models. The package includes gray-colored racing stripes, headlamps and wheels; a set of Corvette racing pedals; a special engine cover, and the Corvette Racing “Jake” logos on the B-pillar, seat headrest and center armrest.

Hm ... did they hire some ricer-boy to put together those "sport packages" ?

GM really needs to take a lesson from the p-cars for the corvette models

They definitely need to work on figuring out what people want and JUST sell that. Knock off all the BS option packages that just cost them money.

If they'd added this sports option to the Corsa or Astra all the chavs would love it but people who buy Corvettes are a bit different. They know about cars, they know how to drive cars and if they've got that sort of money to buy one then they're not usually found selling burgers in McDonalds.

After reading this, my opinion of GM has taken a massive blow and dropped them down below, dare I say it, Ford !! At least Ford got it right with the Mustang (at last).

A 6hp increase - that's more than a joke.

Now that crap is funny with the corvette. That Caymen CS looks interesting.
