2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 For Sale - Katech Street Attack Z06
Package LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 2006 Chevrolet
Corvette Z06 When GM first released the Z06, they wanted the world
to know that it could take on the best of Europe with the new
505-hp pushrod 7.0-liter V-8 engine. To make that point, GM held
the first press drive of this American sports car in Europe. At the
time, it was the fastest Corvette the company had ever produced,
which is a considerable accomplishment given the Corvette racing
pedigree and dozens of previous high-performance models. While the
horsepower is an impressive figure, many do not realize the weight
savings General Motor engineers put the Z06 through. The aluminum
frame weighs a third less than the regular Vette's heavier steel
unit. To retain chassis rigidity, the Z06 opts for a fixed
cast-magnesium structure and another magnesium piece for the engine
cradle. Weight was also shed by using carbon-fiber floorboards,
front fenders and liners. The result is a mosaic of materials. When
all was said and done with the Z06, it weighed in at 3147 pounds,
which is 141 pounds less than the base Vette. To put that in
perspective the Ferrari F430 weighs 3380 pounds, and Porsche's
Carrera GT weighs 3146 pounds. This Z06 Corvette was ordered new at
Gary Enck's Car Store in Cooperstown, New York in special Lemans
Blue paint with Titanium Grey interior. Then it was taken to Katech
performance to be upgraded with their Street Attack Z06 package.
The package includes a host of engine upgrades including Forged
11:1 pistons, Torquer LS7 camshaft, high-lift valve springs, ATI
damper, Katech valve covers, Kooks headers, Corsa exhaust, Ron
Davis radiator, Halltech intake and custom painted intake manifold.
With the added horsepower, the transmission was beefed up and built
by RPM transmissions with their stage IV package and a
high-performance clutch. To help with stopping duties AP600 brake
fluid and Stoptech braided lines were added to reduce brake fade.
To finish the package, a set of HRE 890R wheels were installed with
some extra sticky Nitto Invo tires. Since new, this one-owner Z06
has only traveled a mere 2,422 miles, has never seen the track and
looks showroom new! It comes fully documented with original window
sticker, dealer invoice, Katech invoices, owner's manuals and much
more. Additional Details: 2006 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 -
