The 2005 Chevrolet Corvette Base offers a thrilling fusion of iconic American performance and open-air freedom, finished in a sleek Smokin Asphalt exterior. Powered by the legendary 6.0L V8 SFI LS2 engine delivering 400 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque, this sixth-generation sports car provides explosive acceleration and exhilarating handling through its smooth 6-speed manual transmission, channeling power to the rear wheels for an unforgettable driving experience.
The well-equipped Base trim outfits the Corvette with distinctive 18-inch (front) and 19-inch (rear) aluminum wheels, high-performance tires, and a bold, aerodynamic design with a power-retractable soft top. Inside, you'll find premium leather-trimmed heated sport seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and driver-focused interior accents. The cockpit offers a pure sports car atmosphere for two, along with dual-zone climate control and a premium 7-speaker Bose® audio system with CD player.
Advanced features for its era include the Corvette's comprehensive Active Handling System for enhanced safety, confidence, and control at any speed. The convertible also boasts a standard rear spoiler and Chevrolet's legendary performance heritage.
Engineered to deliver pure, unadulterated driving thrills, this Corvette achieves an EPA-estimated 18 MPG city/26 MPG highway, a worthy trade-off for its iconic LS2 V8 and its status as an American sports car legend. (Note: Color availability may vary by production period.)

2011 Corvette Grand Sport 3LT
By Tim on 8/24/2025 4:49:39 AM
I drove 4 hours away to buy a Corvette at Fort Washington Chevrolet and drive it back home. My sales rep arranged for a free shuttle to pick me up at the rental co., 25 minutes away. The shuttle driver waited about 30 minutes for me to finally arrive and go through the return process with the rental co. When I arrived practically the entire staff welcomed and congratulated me on my purchase. While I was signing docs, my sales rep went to fill the gas tank free of charge. Afterwards, he showed me the ins and outs of the car and even gave me an expensive car cover that was given by the former owner and its original stereo. My sales rep and staff treated me like it was the 100th car I've bought from them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! - 5.0
