Vehicle Description
Wearing a high impact, exceedingly rare color combo and sporting
some great features by virtue of its special edition status, this
2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z51 is one sharp looking street machine.
It's only logged a touch over 40,000 miles and has been treated
with the utmost of care - owned and driven only by responsible
adults and faithfully garage kept when not in use.
The magnetic Sunset Orange paint draped over its sixth generation
form catches your attention right off the bat. It's a very sharp
color - far more distinctive than you normally see in a factory job
and plenty rare as well, as only 7% of Corvette coupes left the
factory during its model year decked out in this color scheme.
Black accenting stripes crest the top of the driver's side fender
and the smoked headlights up front add a custom touch to the
overall appearance. 'Vettes of this era had awesome profiles, with
their low-slung, street-hugging stance, sharply angled windshield
and a pronounced rise to the rear fenders, giving the impression
that this street machine's rear wheels are ready to begin spinning
with enough force to raise the rear end. The Targa top
configuration is a great feature, affording the choice of either
hardtop shelter or open-air motoring as you so choose. The
close-set pair of dual tailpipes are another defining styling
cue.
Inside waits a great example of the inspired driving environments
Corvettes became known for over the years. This interior is as
clean as they come, with tan leather buckets and surrounding
surfaces that show virtually no perceptible wear. Take a good look
around and then take in a deep whiff and you'll be firmly convinced
no one has been permitted to eat or smoke in this car. A short
throw shifter sits on the very clean center console, making runs
through the gears a breeze. Comfort and convenience features
include power seats, power door locks and windows, cruise control,
air conditioning that's blowing as cold as you could want and an
AM/FM/CD stereo that stands by to provide your driving soundtrack.
Driver and passenger side air bags provide a welcome added measure
of safety, while the anti-theft system helps ensure this
fine-looking Chevy never leaves your possession unintended.
There's plenty of power on hand to go along with this Corvette's
stunning good looks. A fuel-injected LS2 V8 resides in the very
clean engine compartment and it's a strong performer, good for a
full 400 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque in factory trim. The
6-speed manual transmission it's paired with puts maximum control
of all that power in the hands of the driver and shifts with
smoothness and precision. This Corvette was already very
well-equipped when it left the factory, so it's been kept in stock
form, with the only aftermarket add-on being an upgraded Corsa
exhaust that provides a great note out of those distinctive
tailpipes in back. The upgraded, Z51 status comes with some great
benefits, including a stiffer suspension, tires that offer better
dry-road grip, larger brakes, and shorter ratios for the six-speed
transmission, along with a transmission-oil cooler to ensure better
performance in more challenging conditions. Precise power steering
combines with the Corvette's wide track and low profile to make for
outstanding handling and the 4-wheel power discs at the corners
bring things to a stop in very short order. A set of very sharp C6
wheels - 19" in front and 20" in back - complete the look of this
outstanding Chevy and are wrapped with Pirelli P Zero tires.
This 2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z51 represents the model at a
mechanical and aesthetic high point and its low mileage, rarely
seen color and upper tier configuration put it in very select
company. Call today!
