Vehicle Description
2003 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Coupe
By now, we all probably know the kind of incredible performance
Corvette Z06's are capable of. Introduced way back in 1963 as the
ultimate track package for America's favorite sports car, the
marque has spent the better part of the last 20 years embarrassing
much more expensive competitors. As the successor to the C4
Corvette ZR1 extreme performance option, the C5 Z06 took horsepower
and handling to another level. Using a tuned version of the
standard LS1 Corvette engine, the Z06 produced 405hp and weighed
considerably less than its high powered predecessor.
For consignment, a 2003 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 showing 52,689 non
actual miles. This might look like your mild mannered Z06 on the
outside, (if there is such a thing), but underneath, it's been
heavily modified to bump the impressive 405 factory horsepower up
to a dyno proven 525. Its stout engine has some help from
Lingenfelter, FAST, COMP, and other impressive names in the
aftermarket component world.
Due to modifications of the emissions control devices installed by
the manufacturer, please check your local, state, and federal laws
to determine if this vehicle is applicable for use on public
highways in your area.*
Exterior
Dressed in a bad to the bone black repaint, Z06 cues present as a
mesh style grille, a horsepower fender emblem, brake cooling ducts
on the dogleg, and a notchback roof that was specific to the model.
Z06 wheels here are borrowed from the C6 generation edition in
gleaming chrome and wrapped in ZR rated tires with a late 2019 date
code. Out back there's a hint that something is going on here with
oversized quad exhaust that sneaks out just past the slotted
valance. Widened rear quarters give the car an even more aggressive
look and do away with that pesky antenna that can kill 10ths off
your quarter mile. A carbon fiber trimmed crossed flag emblem lives
on the nose, capping off a clean presentation where the only
imperfections found are a spider crack in the black and some curb
rash on a wheel.
Interior
The striking two tone interior begins on the door panels where
black plastic contours to create an armrest with a red handle,
carbon fiber dipped handle reveal, push pad control panel, while
the lower panel is vibrant red and takes in a speaker and red
safety light, all in great condition. The seats are Caravaggio
racing seats in black leather with a RaceQuip harness on the
driver's side and red stitching that picks up on the red outer
shell. A meaty Redline flat bottom steering wheel is offered up to
the driver in front of the standard dash with side pods of
switches. The center stack is framed in more carbon fiber dip and
houses a Sony touchscreen head unit with backup camera over the A/C
panel which is just above a row of unmarked toggle switches. All
the interior lights have been converted to LED including the
instrument cluster and new factory carpet was installed at the time
of the build. Custom stitched leather surrounds the center console
nicely matching the red stitched leather handle of the C6 Z06
shifter. Rounding out this clean interior is a custom 5 point roll
cage and red trimmed carpet in the cargo area and in the trunk.
Drivetrain
Under the hood is a 388ci LS V8 with 525 horsepower. How it got
there includes to following mods: Weston sleeved LSA block, Callies
DragonSlayer crank, Oliver billet I-beam rods, BTR custom spec
Wiseco 11-1 pistons, CCP JAM CAM, .608i/.615e Lift, 230i/242e
Duration @ .050, Comp short travel link bar lifters, Lingenfelter
WOT shift box, and a Lingenfelter 2 step box. The fuel system is up
to the task as well with the following additions: FAST fuel rails,
ported FAST intake manifold, Haltech CAI 90mm throttle body, LS7
style MAF, 60lb FIC injectors, black AN lines, and a Lingenfelter
in tank pump. A T56 6-speed manual includes a New McLeod Street
Extreme clutch, aluminum flywheel, and 3.5" HD shaft torque tube
heading back to the transaxle with 3.42 gears and limited slip.
Power disc brakes are on all four wheels.
Undercarriage
Hat tip to Kooks for some great components underneath that begins
with race headers, an off road 3" X-pipe which connects to the
Billy Boat Bullet cat back exhaust, stainless tailpipes and
polished tips. No cats. No mufflers. Pure flow. Standard Z06
suspension here includes Viking shocks and bushings that are four
years old. The undercarriage is clean, free of surface rust, oil,
and road dirt.
Drive-Ability
This is not your grandfather's Z06, but it might explain why he
can't hear anymore. Just kidding, but she does put out a mighty
roar that bounces off the hills of Morgantown. The seats are
appropriately race firm and race supportive and intended for �
miles runs as opposed to long trips, but they are comfortable for
our jaunt around the test loop, or should we call it a track today?
The car has ungodly power underfoot and handles exactly how a high
performance Z06 would and all functional items in this street beast
operate as they should. 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.
If you're looking for a spicy Corvette, this pepper red trimmed
specimen is your antidote to your "need for speed". It's a road
rocket that shows as well as it goes and if you tried to replicate
the build, chances are you'd be spending quite a chunk of change
above the asking price. And you're not just buying a build, you're
buying experiences that will last a lifetime, 11 seconds, (or
10.7), and 1,320 feet at a time.
