Vehicle Description
2009 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Coupe
"There were several big drivers for developing the new Z06. One was
to utilize lessons learned in the C5-R racing program, including
engine development and aerodynamics. The next was the need to build
an extreme performance Corvette, occupying a higher level than the
current C6 Z51, which already has inched within a breath of the C5
Z06's capabilities. And third, GM wanted to answer the growing
posse of supercars from Dodge, Ford, Ferrari, Porsche, and Aston
Martin." Corvette Quarterly magazine, Spring 2005
For consignment, a 2009 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 coupe, a one owner
pampered performer with a title verified 5,148 actual miles. It was
not hyperbole when the magazine went on to proclaim "By a wholesome
measure it is the most wicked Corvette in history and destined to
redefine the sports car performance for money equation worldwide."
You want a piece of that history? Read on.
Exterior
Cyber Gray Metallic presents a wonderful coverage for a sleek
street machine that announces its superiority with an aggressive
fascia that includes a low and wide lower intake and a nose mounted
hood scoop that sets the lines for a slightly bulge that flows back
to the raked windshield. From there, the straight roofline leads to
a cascading rear window and a rear that ends bluntly with a rear
leaning cant on a car with more angles than a protractor. The Z06
emblazoned fender vents lean forward countered by the brake cooling
intake duct on the rear quarter, which leans back, picking up on
the tail's attitude. The argent gray wheels, 18-inch front and
19-inch rear, are enhanced by red brake calipers. Out back, the
iconic quad tail lights anchor the gunmetal gray rear panel, and
four tailpipes are center exit between the reverse lights which
contour into the valance. The whole package is a fantastic design
in like new condition, the only imperfection being some scrapes on
the chin spoiler.
Interior
The Ebony palette begins on the smooth door panels, simple and
ergonomically designed that help provide a solid thud on closure.
Z06 is embroidered on the tuck and roll black leather high back
bucket seats that look comfortable enough for long hauls and � mile
jaunts, while accentuated by red stitching. The meaty steering is
also purposely simple, allowing the driver to focus on the car's
best attribute, its driving! The instrument cluster is a logical
arrangement of gauges with white illuminated numbers and bright red
needles on a black background. Carbon fiber trim frames the center
stack where you'll find the AM/FM/CD radio and A/C panel which
share the knob style with the radio making for a clean and unified
presentation. The center console also wears carbon fiber and the
stout shifter is dressed in a black leather boot while charcoal
carpet covers the floor protected by Z06 branded carpeted mats, all
below a soft to the touch headliner, all in great shape. The cargo
area is a plush stretch of charcoal carpet and quite possibly has
never seen cargo.
Drivetrain
Pivot the hood forward and massive red engine covers pierce your
pupils and reveal Chevy's venerable 7.0 liter LS7 V8 pumping out
505 horsepower without any kind of forced induction. A TR6060
6-speed manual transaxle transfers power via 3.42 rear gears with
limited slip and power disc brakes are on all fours, clearly
visible through the wide spoked wheels.
Undercarriage
About what you'd expect on a 5,000 mile car, minimal surface rust
and some road spray, but otherwise as it would appear in the
showroom. The dual exhaust system is, of course, original
equipment, including the mufflers which immediately unleash the
quad chrome tips. Heavy duty suspension specs grace the Z06,
consisting of transverse composite monoleaf springs, tube shock
absorbers, and anti-roll bars.
Drive-Ability
Sliding gracefully into the deep buckets, we enter the proverbial
rocket ship and fire up the LS7 which sends rumbles below our seat.
What can we say? Stupendous acceleration, race car like handling,
and a cabin that is more seasoned driver than boy racer. As
expected, all functions operate just as intended on this low
mileage car. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these
functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot
guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your
purchase.
A stock, unmodified C6 Z06 in a stunning color and barely broken
in. Like many Vettes of this ilk, it has been pampered and garage
kept by its sole owner and will come with all service records and
paperwork it's accumulated since its birth in Kentucky. This is a
fantastic opportunity to fulfill that dream that keeps poking you
in the brain. This is the one you've been waiting for, but don't
wait to make the call.
