General 2003 Corvette Informations

Aircraft-inspired Head-Up Display
The inspiration came directly from fighter aircraft - specifically, the Air Force’s F-15® Eagle. In the Corvette Head-Up Display (HUD) system, all of the following readouts may be projected onto the windshield for driver convenience: vehicle speed, engine rpm, a performance upshift guide for the six-speed manual transmission, and readings from key gauges. Head-Up Display is standard on Z06 and 50th Anniversary Edition Corvettes; optional on other coupes and convertibles.
