Gateway Classic Cars of Louisville is proud to present this
one-owner 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. The Z06 arrived as a 2006
model in the third quarter of 2005 and is the lightest of all
Corvette models. The Z06 was equipped with the largest-displacement
small-block engine ever produced, a new 7,011 cc (7.0 L; 427.8 cu
in) V8 engine codenamed LS7 produced 505 bhp @ 6300 rpm and 470
lb�ft of torque @ 4800 rpm, is the most powerful naturally
aspirated engine put into a production car from General Motors. In
addition to the larger displacement engine, the Corvette Z06 has a
dry sump oiling system, and connecting rods made out of titanium
alloy. The frame of the Z06 is constructed from aluminum, saving
136 pounds over the standard steel frame. Other weight saving
measures such as balsa wood/carbon fiber composite floors and a
magnesium alloy engine cradle were used. The Z06's body
differentiates itself from the standard Corvette with its larger
front and rear fenders and an intake inlet scoop on the front
bumper. The front fenders are constructed with carbon fiber and the
rear fenders contain ducts to aid in cooling the rear brakes. The
Z06 weighed 3,130 lb giving it a weight to power ratio of 6.2
pounds per horsepower, allowing it to achieve a fuel economy of 15
mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway. The Z06 was the official
pace car for both the 2006 Daytona 500 and the Indianapolis 500
race. This one-owner example has only 2,838 actual miles and is
basically a new car. The Velocity Yellow Tintcoat paint is in great
condition and looks new as well. The black interior is flawless and
looks as if it was never even sat in. The Z06 contains the
following enhancements over the standard C6 Corvette: Hand-built
LS7 7.0L / 427 CID V8 with dry sump oiling system, Aluminum chassis
with fixed roof, Larger/stiffer anti-sway bars, Stiffer springs and
shocks, Larger rear spoiler and front splitter, Transmission
cooler, Unique front fascia with intake inlet, Wider carbon fiber
front and fiberglass rear fenders, Functional front and rear brake
ducts for added brake system cooling, Unique light weight forged
aluminum 18-inch front and 19-inch rear wheels; painted finish
standard and chromed finish optional, Wider 275/35ZR18 tires in the
front and wider 325/30ZR19 tires in the rear, Larger 6-piston front
and 4-piston rear calipers, including cross-drilled 355 mm (14.0
in) front rotors and 340 mm (13 in) rear rotors. This 2008
