Chevrolet is the most preferred brand in the U.S., when it comes to sports cars. No more than one third of the vehicles sold in the United States in 2011 are Camaros or Corvettes.
Last year, Chevrolet had a 37% share of the sports car market, registering a total of 88,249 vehicles sold Camaro, with over 18,000 units surpassing direct competitor model Ford Mustang. It is estimated that this difference will increase with the launch this month of the new Camaro ZL1 the United States.
In 2011, Chevrolet has owned 28% of the luxury sports car market with a number of Corvettes sold 13,164 vehicles. Is currently the only model of domestic production in this segment, the number of vehicles sold has more than doubled Corvette model units sold direct competitor, the Porsche 911.
To demonstrate the capabilities of Corvette and Camaro models, Chevrolet recently tested the performance of several versions, the circuit "Grand Course" at Virginia International Raceway. Circuit configuration Grand Course is a challenge for the model series, because it takes an extraordinary power, precise handling and high adhesion to record the fastest lap.
Engineer Jim Mero completed a tour of Grand Course in a circuit for driving a Corvette ZR1 2:45,6 2012 model equipped with new Michelin Pilot Sport Cup, the fastest lap time ever received a car.
