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
vibrant presentation of this low-mileage 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. This has averaged only about 1,500 miles
annually. The factory Millenium Yellow paint retains awesome shine,
and that gets this one noticed from blocks away. Sleek lines, the
upgraded Z06 body kit, quad exhaust tips, an added full-width rear
spoiler, and special double five-spoke alloys are all about making
sure this one has the aggressive style to match the aggressive
performance.
Black always looks great against yellow, and so we love the dark
and luxurious leather interior. Low mileage means less time for
wear, and so the full package is quite attractive. Plus, it's
loaded with the best features like dual-zone A/C automatic climate
control, power steering, power windows, keyless entry, power
mirrors, cruise control, and a premium AM/FM/CD stereo system with
Bose speakers. Because this is a modern classic, it also means
modern safety features such as dual airbags and anti-lock brakes.
The driver's seat is powered, and it has a memory function to
remember your ideal driving position. The leather-wrapped sports
steering wheel, tilt steering column, full gauges, upgraded pedal,
and Hurst shifter are all about a track-ready Corvette. And while
this one doesn't look like it ever really went to the raceway, the
head-up display is one of our favorite competition-style
options.
Tilt the hood forward and see the 5.7-liter LS6 V8 proudly sitting
in the engine bay. It looks quite stock, but there are just the
right additions within. The 2001 car was the rebirth of the legend,
but later years got some added power. This one helps rectify that.
It inhales deeper with a cold air intake, and it exhales with added
power as headers feed into an upgraded dual exhaust. You have
complete control over all the sound and fury the V8 brings thanks
to the six-speed manual transmission. The Z06 received suspension
upgrades from GM on the fully independent suspension, and there's
also the large four-wheel power disc brake package.
The sale comes complete with the original window sticker and
owner's manual. This is the impressive return of the Z06 that's the
ideal mix of collector car and awesome driver. So if you want one
modern classic that has it all, call today!
