Vehicle Description
The 2001 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 was the first year to bring back
this ultra-hot Corvette designation. But this is more than just
history at a value price. When you check out the ultra-slick and
dark-as-midnight presentation of this low-mileage 385 hp coupe,
you'll know why this is an instant classic.
Z06 is one of those codes only reserved for serious tire-burning
Corvettes. So enthusiasts knew to pay attention in 2001 when it was
resurrected for a special edition C5. Not only did they add extra
power, but also they utilized the strongest and lightest version of
the Corvette available - the Fixed Roof Coupe (FRC). And because
this car had an instant significance, it has been treated with
respect since day one. The factory black paint still has a showroom
level of shine, and that gives this the look of a dark mirror. The
sunlight loves to highlight the deep bows of the long hood, subtle
curves of the fixed roof, and the nearly flat rear deck. Added to
the shine is the right amount of brightwork on the polished alloys
and large dual exhaust tips. Plus, the red brake calipers and
bright taillights give this a hint that this Z06 is out for
blood.
Inside is exactly what you expect from a special Corvette - a
loaded interior that's comfortable for two. The black leather
buckets match the dark interior, and just like the exterior, the
special Z06 stitching provides a great bold red detail. Low mileage
means little seat time, so everything is in top condition. You'll
never get tired of watching the gauges do their dance every time
you start the engine... but the head-up display means you never
have to take your eyes off the road during performance driving. And
more than just track-focused, this car offers plenty of luxuries,
such as dual zone climate control, power steering, power windows,
keyless entry, power mirrors, power seats, cruise control, and a
Bose AM/FM/CD stereo system. Because this is a modern classic, it
also means modern safety features such as dual airbags and
anti-lock brakes. Plus, the FRC style body has a trunk that can
truly carry a weekend's worth of luggage (including your racing
suit and helmet.)
Even the engine bay continues the theme of a blackout package with
some bold red detail. This is the original 5.7-liter LS6 motor.
Chevy built this fuel-injected powerhouse to be a juggernaut with
385 horsepower. Plus, this one adds to the legend with a Vararam
ram air intake and upgraded exhaust. And you have complete control
over all the power and fury the V8 brings thanks to the six-speed
manual transmission. As a true competition machine, this also
received its own suspension upgrade package to make the fully
independent suspension perform at its best during high speeds. And
keeping everything in control is also the large four-wheel disc
brake package and Pirelli sport rubber.
This is the first year for the fire-breathing C5 Z06, and its
preserved in its full midnight appearance. So you know you need to
hurry when a car this cool is also so obtainable. Call today!!!
