2009 Chevrolet Corvette Competition Sport Edition

General Motors is spicing up the Corvette lineup in lue of the new ZR1 with a Competition Sport package for 2009.

There's a bit of substance here, as the kit adds the Z51 Performance Package, performance exhaust system, differential cooler and a set of racing pedals to the standard 1LT package, resulting in a power peak of 436 horsepower.

Those planning on actually visiting the track can opt for the race-ready Z06 package and its 505-horsepower 7.0L V8. Visual mods for both versions include Competition Gray stripes, wheels and headlamps along with a splattering of "Jake" and CSR logos inside and out.

A set of racing numbers will also be delivered to the buyer based on the particular car's build sequence.
