Despite all of its improvements – and in spite of the price, which scarcely changed from the 2004 model – sales of the new 2005 Corvette were, perhaps, not quite as earth-shattering as GM had hoped. A total of 37,372 Corvettes were sold in 2005, which included 26,728 coupes and a mere 10,644 convertibles. Still, the executives at Chevrolet noted the increase in overall sales, and began planning for the long-term future of the C6. It would become a future laced with some of the most powerful/highest performing Corvettes.
