The C6 Corvette was first available for
sale for the 2005 model year . This generation brought with it many
new improvements . One of the most controversial changes for this
generation is the " fixed headlights " . Corvettes have had " Flip-Up
headlights since the Sting Ray was introduced back in 1963 .
Many other changes , such as 400 plus
horsepower ratings , round tail lights , and sharper shaped body panels ,
have given the generation six Corvette an opportunity to be even more
widely accepted in other countries around the globe .
