This 2004 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is one of 2,025 Commemorative
Edition models produced to celebrate the C5-R's class victories at
the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It is powered by a 5.7-liter LS6 V8 mated
to a six-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential and
is finished in Le Mans Blue over black leather. Equipment includes
Commemorative Edition-specific polished lightweight wheels, a
carbon-fiber hood, racing stripes, and a titanium exhaust system as
well as pop-up headlights, dual-zone climate control, cruise
control, a head-up display, a power-adjustable driver's seat, and a
CD stereo.
The C5 Z06 was only offered as a fixed-roof coupe for increased
chassis stiffness and featured a quad-exit titanium exhaust system,
mesh grille inserts, and weight-saving measures such as thinner
glass and reduced sound deadening when compared to the standard C5.
All 2004 Commemorative Edition Z06 models were finished in Le Mans
Blue (19U) with silver and red decal stripes adorning the roof,
decklid, and carbon-fiber hood. Additional features include
commemorative Le Mans badging, pop-up headlights, and rear brake
vents.
The 5.7-liter LS6 V8 was based upon the contemporary LS1 and
features a refined aluminum block, a higher lift camshaft, a 10.5:1
compression ratio, and increased air and oil flow. Factory-rated
output for the 2004 model year was 405 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of
torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual
transaxle and a 3.42:1 limited-slip differential.
