Vehicle Description
The C5 revived the Z06 name after more than four decades, and just
like its predecessors, this was all about awakening the beast.
Adding power and saving weight, this 2003 Chevrolet Corvette Z06
was the quickest 'Vette to date. So when you can find one in such
good care and at a great price, this 400+ hp speed machine is a
huge deal.
We all know the legend of the Z06 by now. Chevy started with their
lightest and strongest Corvette configuration, the FRC (Fixed Roof
Coupe). Then they discarded weight wherever they could, even
including utilizing a thinner windshield. The result was the
leanest and meanest Corvette to hit the streets. And so to have it
born a slick black machine only reinforces its menacing attitude.
Also, 2003 was the Corvette's golden anniversary, and so you want
to keep a special car like this to the gold standard. That's why
this is a two-owner coupe that has averaged less than 3,500 miles
annually, and it comes with some great paperwork. From the fit of
the panels, to the condition of the special double-five spoke
special Z06 alloy wheels, it all tells you that any excitement in
this ultra-hot Corvette was responsible fun.
All the black of the exterior gets you ready for an all-black
interior. Low mileage means the leather on the bucket seats look
great, the aggressive red Z06 stitching is still bold, and the
overall condition presents like-new. This is loaded with all the
best features, including a power driver's seat, dual zone climate
control, power steering, power windows, power locks, keyless
entry/alarm, power mirrors, cruise control, and a AM/FM/CD stereo
system by Bose. Because this is a modern classic, it also means
modern safety features such as dual airbags and anti-lock brakes.
But what you'll really love the most is how much this is built to
be a driver's machine. The shifter feels perfect in your right
hand, and the head-up display means you never have to take your
eyes off the road during performance driving.
You might have noticed how this car is black with hints of red both
on the interior and exterior. Well, that color theme actually looks
its best under the hood. The bold red covers signal the special LS6
motor. Its producing 405 horsepower in a later Z06 like this. To
put that into perspective, that's eight percent MORE power than the
King of the Hill C4 ZR1. It fires up with the ease of a modern
fuel-injected motor, and its smoothness hides just how awesome the
power really is. And you have complete control over all the sound
and fury the V8 brings thanks to the six-speed manual transmission.
As a true competition machine, the upgraded suspension package
allows this fully independent setup to perform at its best during
high speeds. And keeping everything in control is also the large
four-wheel power disc brake package and Goodyear Eagle F1
performance tires.
The sale comes complete with the original window sticker, factory
buildsheet, maintenance records, and 50th anniversary owner's
manual packet. So if you're looking for a modern classic with
serious performance and collectability, don't let this midnight
hero slip away. Call today!!!
