Vehicle Description
This 2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is an unusually striking, world
class performance machine. Lightly traveled, with under 40,000
miles logged, it harbors extreme power under its hood that puts it
in very select automotive company. It's the Corvette in its most
extreme, optimized state - a unique blend of raw strength and
advanced technology - and promises to provide a virtually unrivaled
driving experience for its next owner.
This upper-echelon 'Vette wears a high impact, dark blue metallic
shade that's ornamented with tapering broad silver stripes across
its hood and roof, and draped over its tail. It's a custom paint
job and a very cool, well-executed one at that, affording the curb
appeal that will make this Z06 stand out in any automotive crowd,
no matter how distinguished. The sheer electricity of the paint
draws you in from far away and the silver accents show sharp edges
as they properly convey an aftermarket vibe. From the front, the
look of the Z06's distinctive front fascia, with its prominent
inlet, sitting underneath the signature headlights with their
silver interior casings is about as cool as it gets. Come around to
the side and you'll no doubt notice the LED side marker lights,
which really pop against their blue background, as well as the
functional scoops sitting just in front of the rear tires to help
cool the rear brakes. The sixth generation Corvette form is an
absolute winner - it's pretty easy to see why this special edition
model was chosen to be the pace car for both the Daytona 500 and
Indianapolis 500 the year this '06 debuted.
Climb inside and you'll be greeted by an awesome driving
environment. The black leather interior is very clean, with a pair
of well-contoured bucket seats sitting at the center, featuring
silver-accented covers that show very little use as they straddle a
properly badged center console. Over the years, Corvettes have been
equipped with some of the most inspired and stylish dash areas
around, and the example on display here is a great representative,
featuring an instrument cluster with perfectly illuminated, clear
gauges and well laid out controls, all of which are functional.
Over the top sits a fresh-looking dash pad and toward the center
you'll no doubt notice the prominent display for the aftermarket
JVC touch screen media player, which features AM/FM/CD
capabilities, as well as connectivity for an iPod. There's no
shortage of comfort and convenience features - heated power seats,
power windows and door locks take their places alongside the
heads-up display, probably the coolest feature of them all,
affording the ability to read vital motoring functions projected
onto the lower windshield.
The power on hand is exceptional, even for the lofty standards set
by the Z06 designation. The LS7 V8 under the hood was already
potent in its naturally aspirated form, and this supercharged
specimen takes that substantially further - churning out an
outstanding 599 horsepower and 578 lb-ft of torque. These aren't
estimates - the dyno sheet is included as proof. This otherworldly
powerful engine sits in a very clean engine bay looking new while
sporting a pair of contrasting red factory valve covers, and is
paired with a 6-speed manual transmission that puts the exceptional
output under your full control. The Z06's low aerodynamic profile
combines with precise power steering to make it a world class
corner carver, while substantially sized power disc brakes at all
four corners bring it to a stop in a hurry. A dynamic
representative of homegrown American performance, it melts the
asphalt on its set of special issue Z06 black wheels - 18" in front
and 19" in back - that feature Hankook Ventus tires.
This car currently has a rebuilt Texas title because of a single
car accident in WA state where the car scraped a guard rail on
passenger side. Carfax, Autocheck, pictures of damage and complete
repair list available.
