Take a moment to browse our pre-owned inventory or explore our full featured used vehicles to see how this exceptional sports car fits your lifestyle.

    V8 Performance & Dynamic Handling

    At the heart of this 2006 Chevrolet Corvette is a potent 6.0-liter V8 engine generating 400 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. Power is routed to the rear wheels via a smooth 6-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission, allowing you to choose between casual cruising and instant gear selection at your fingertips. A mechanical limited-slip differential and Active Handling electronic stability control ensure maximum traction through tight turns. The chassis features a four-wheel independent suspension with short and long arm architecture, front and rear transverse fiberglass leaf springs, and gas-pressurized shock absorbers for sharp responsiveness. Riding on staggered 18-inch front and 19-inch rear polished aluminum wheels wrapped in run-flat performance tires, this convertible stops with confidence thanks to four-wheel ventilated disc brakes with anti-lock control. A stainless-steel dual exhaust system with quad polished 3-inch tips delivers an unforgettable exhaust note while achieving an efficient EPA-estimated 27 MPG on the highway.

    Advanced Driver Technology & Interior Comfort

    Inside the cabin, the 3LT package wraps you in premium comfort and sophisticated tech. Premium Cashmere leather sport bucket seats offer 10-way power adjustments with 2-way power lumbar support, side bolsters, and integrated heating for cool morning drives. Memory settings automatically recall customized positions for the driver seat, exterior mirrors, and power telescopic steering wheel. Stay seamlessly connected with the integrated voice-activated navigation system, ETR AM/FM stereo with CD/MP3 capability, and XM Satellite Radio support, all outputting through a high-performance 7-speaker Bose sound system with automatic equalization. A customizable Head-Up Display projects vital speed, RPM, and gear metrics directly onto the windshield so your eyes stay focused on the road ahead. Convenience features include dual-zone automatic climate control, push-button start with proximity key access, an auto-dimming rearview mirror with compass, and a Driver Information Center displaying real-time tire pressure readings.

      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!…
