2009 CHEVROLET CORVETTE 2LT COUPE AUTO CRYSTAL RED 4K REVIEW 16554Z
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
This video presents a comprehensive review of a pristine 2009 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe equipped with the desirable 2LT package in Crystal Red Tint Coat paint. The vehicle is identified by stock number 16554Z and has spent its entire life registered in Georgia and Florida, ensuring a clean title history free from accidents or damage. Powered by a robust 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine that delivers an impressive 430 horsepower and 424 foot-pounds of torque, the car is paired with a smooth-shifting automatic transmission. Before filming, the vehicle underwent a thorough safety inspection at Summit Auto headquarters, receiving fresh oil changes, filter replacements, and fluid top-offs to guarantee it is in peak mechanical condition for immediate driving.
The exterior walkaround highlights the exceptional quality of this specific unit, featuring 18-inch chrome alloy wheels up front with Kumho Extrema PA51 tires that still retain about ninety percent of their original tread from a 2024 replacement date. The rear axle is fitted with larger 19-inch wheels and wider 285/35 ZR19 Kumho tires, providing excellent grip. The Crystal Red paint exhibits the characteristic metallic flake typical of tint coat finishes but remains in mirror-like condition without major scuffs or delamination on the headlight lenses or body panels. Additional premium features include a dual hardtop roof system with plexiglass and sun shade options, chrome-tipped dual rear exhaust pipes, power-adjustable mirrors, and factory floor mats that are clean and ready for use.
Moving to the interior, the cabin is upholstered in high-quality black and gray leather bucket seats featuring Corvette logos stitched into the headrests, with no visible rips or tears on either seat. The driver enjoys a tilt steering wheel wrapped in leather with integrated controls for volume and Bluetooth connectivity, along with paddle shifters behind the wheel for manual gear changes without taking hands off the rim. Key amenities include push-button start, dual-zone automatic climate control, an information center display, OnStar capabilities, SOS buttons, and a factory CD player supporting AM/FM/Sirius XM radio. The instrument cluster is clean and clearly displays 23,683 miles on the odometer, while the dashboard shows no signs of cracking or bubbling, indicating excellent preservation over time.
Under the hood, the engine bay appears exceptionally clean with all components running smoothly, including bright HID headlamps and fog lights that function perfectly. The presenter emphasizes that this Corvette represents a rare opportunity to purchase an ultra-clean example from a private collection setting without any surprises regarding its history or condition. Viewers are encouraged to utilize the high-definition video quality available on the channel to inspect every detail before visiting in person, as it provides confidence for making informed purchasing decisions regardless of location. The review concludes with strong recommendations for potential buyers interested in this well-optioned sports car and directs them to Summit Auto's website for full specifications or their YouTube channel for daily updates on new inventory including other Corvettes, Camaros, Mustangs, and more.

Hey everybody, this is Brett providing
you with the most in-depth and accurate
4K vehicle reviews on the internet.
Thank you so much for choosing my video.
Hope everybody's having a great day out
there today. This is a very nice 2009
Chevrolet Corvette
2LT package.
And this one is stock number 16654Z.
I am here at Summit Auto, your new and
used sports car headquarters. This 2009
Chevrolet Corvette has the 6.2 LS3
V8 engine. Puts out 430 horsepower, 424
foot-lbs of torque, and it is paired up
with the automatic transmission. This
car has been fully safied and inspected
by our service shop. Has a fresh oil and
filter change. All the fluids have been
checked and topped off, and this car is
100% ready to go. Quick note, guys, I
shoot all my videos in 4K. So, if you
have HD capabilities on your computer,
tablet, or smartphone, turn them on now
because it is your best way to check out
the quality and condition of the vehicle
before seen in person. Let's get
started. This is a clean title history
clean carf facts previously titled in
Georgia and Florida its whole life.
Speaking of Georgia and Florida, if
you're watching the video on YouTube,
let me know in the comments below where
you're watching the video from. Always
love seeing where our viewers,
subscribers, and future subscribers are
watching from. We get people from all
over the world, so always neat to see
that. And if you are a new subscriber or
new to the channel, welcome. Thanks for
checking us out. What I'm going to do is
go all the way around on this car. We're
going to go inside, start it up. Take a
look under the hood and give you the
most accurate representation I can of
this vehicle. Starting with the wheels,
you get the 18-in chrome alloys. They
are in very nice shape. And it has Kumho
Exta PA51 tires on here. These are 24540
ZR18s.
And these are pretty new tires, guys.
They're from 2024. And I would say that
they have probably about 80 to 90% of
the tread left on them. Uh really good
tread left on those tires. Front fenders
in nice shape. I didn't see any major
scuffs or scrapes on there. Headlight
lenses are nice and clear. I didn't see
any delamination or micro cracking. And
the front bumper is in really nice
condition as well. No major scuffs or
scrapes on there. We're going to turn
those lights in at the end end of the
video so you can see just how bright
they are. The hood is in excellent shape
as well.
And the passenger side front fender is
in excellent condition, too. Passenger
side front wheel, no major scuffs or
scrapes on there. This color is called
Crystal Red Tint Coat. Paint code is
89U.
There we go.
Got a little bit of metal flake in it.
Just a little bit.
It's usually what the tint coats look
like. You can see how nice that paint is
as well. And as you go down this side of
this 2009 Chevrolet Corvette, take note
of how clean the body is and how
reflective and mirror-l like that paint
is. Take these HD videos. So, if you're
far away or even if you're close by and
you just cannot make the trip down, but
you're still interested in purchasing
the vehicle, you can see the car, hear
the car, and have confidence in what
you're looking at before you even get
here. So, when you do get here, there's
absolutely no surprises, and you can
make a smart and informed buying
decision from wherever you're at. If
this video helps you make that buying
decision, let your salesman know that
you saw the video was helpful and that
Brett sent you. Back wheels in excellent
shape as well. Uh these are 19in wheels
in the back. These are 28535 ZR19s in
the back as well for the Kumho Xas. They
have just as much tread as the front
tires.
And the underbody looks really, really
good. And honestly, most Corvettes look
like that underneath. Coming around to
the back of the vehicle, rear bumper
area is in excellent condition. You do
get the chrome tipped dual rear exhaust.
Didn't see any major scuffs or scrapes
back here. Looks really good.
This one does have the dual top. So, it
does have the plexiglass
top in here. That's a really nice
feature to have. Also has the sun shade.
And underneath here,
carpeting's nice and clean. These just
snap down. really easy to replace those.
And that shuts nice and solidly.
Glass is in nice condition as well. And
down the driver's side, just as clean as
that passenger side, no major scuffs or
scrapes on the rear quarter. And for
full disclosure, this back wheel is just
as nice as the rest. And down the rest
of this side of the car, driver's side
door looks really good. You do get power
mirrors. Inside the 2LT package gives
you the black and gray leather bucket
seats. Both these front seats are power.
No rips, no tears. You get the Corvette
logo stitched into the headrest, side
current airbags, factory floor mats,
tilt steering wheel, auto headlamps, and
power windows, locks, and mirrors. Let's
hop inside, start it up, check out the
miles, the radio, and everything that
this one has to offer on the interior.
Starts right up.
No check engine lights or anything like
that. And you can see that this one has
23,683
miles on it. Instrument cluster is nice
and clean. This one does have Bluetooth
controls on the left. leather wrapped
steering wheel and on the right volume
controls. You also have the paddle
shifters there and then the auto
headlamps right there as well.
You do get the CD player, AUGs jack, AM
FM, and Sirius XM radio capabilities.
This one does have the push button
start, the information center controls,
and then you also have your dual climate
controls right there. Automatic
transmission, stability control, center
console's nice and clean. And here's
your key fob. That's in nice condition
as well. Passenger side floor mat and
seat. Excellent condition as well. And
the inside of the hardtop
looks really, really good.
You do get a compass display and OnStar
and SOS buttons there.
And the windshield is in excellent
condition. I didn't see any chips or
cracks on that. The dash is in nice
condition as well. I didn't see any
bubbling or anything and it looks
really, really good. I believe it's the
original windshield as well. All right,
let's go take a look under the hood and
check out those HID lights.
I would personally like to thank you for
checking out the video today and
hopefully from this HD video, you've
been able to verify the quality,
condition, options, and of course,
cleanliness of this car inside and out.
Under the hood, we have the 6.2 2 L V8
LS3 engine.
Engine bay is very clean, runs very
smooth. Once again, 430 horse, 424
foot-lbs of torque. There are those HID
headlamps. They are very bright and
working nicely, as are the fog lights.
And uh once again, this car has been
fully safely inspected as a fresh oil
and filter change. So, the fluids
checked and topped off. And this car is
100% ready to go. There is the emission
sticker.
Shocks are doing a great job holding
that hood up.
And this car is 100% ready to go. I
would highly recommend it from a quality
and condition standpoint. Think whoever
is going to get this one's going to
absolutely love it.
Great color, nicely optioned out. I love
the interior on it. Also, the dual top
is a really nice feature as well.
