2010 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 gets launch control and a $2,910 price increase

GM has secretly released details of the 2010 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 - and we’re guessing that’s because making a big deal about a 638-hp supercar isn’t the brightest idea for the Detroit automaker in a time like this. New for 2010, the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 now gets Performance Traction Management technology, launch control, standard side air bags, Cashmere interior color, Torch Red exterior color and Competition Gray wheels.

Power still comes from the wonderful LS9 supercharged 6.2L V8 that cranks out 638-hp with a maximum torque of 604 lb-ft.GM told its dealers that pricing for the 2010 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 now starts at $107,830. Take into account the $1,700 gas guzzler tax and the price goes up to $109,530, an increase of $2,910 over the 2009 Corvette ZR1.
