Vehicle Description
2007 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Coupe
"On the road, the Z06's ride is firm, not but not harsh. It lays
flat in the corners when pushed, and you can easily guide the rear
end with the throttle. This is not a beginner car, nor one that you
should be afraid of. Instead, the C6 Z06 is a pure driver's car
which lets enthusiasts enjoy the pleasures of driving without an
overabundance of electronic nannies ruining all the fun. Regardless
of price, the Corvette Z06 is one of the most visceral sports cars
you're ever likely to pilot." Autonation Drive, November 2019
For consignment, a 2007 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 coupe with a title
verified 6,936 actual miles. Clearly, that kind of mileage can only
mean it was a pampered garage queen and offered quality over
quantity for the previous owner, of which there was only one! The
C5 and C6 Z06's remain some of the most impressive performance
"bargains" in the market.
Exterior
Scoops are where it's at for this Vette, and differentiates it from
mere mortal Corvettes, and it starts with the hood scoop, actually
on the nose piece, but at the end of a tapering bulge on the hood.
No matter how much you brag, 3.5 inches just isn't a great
distance, but on the expanded width of the Z06 over the standard
Stingray, it might as well be a foot and gives this Machine Silver
Metallic rendition all the aggressiveness of an IMSA prototype. It
also provides room for bigger rubber, 325/30ZR19's on back,
275/35ZR18 on front and the tires have a mid 2021 date code. 5
spoke chrome wheels leave plenty of air space to show off the red
calipers and red also makes an appearance on the side air duct Z06
emblems where 505hp is also expressed in red. There's a scoop
behind the door which cools the rear brakes and out back, quad
exhaust under a wide rear fascia with, of course, four tail lights,
capped by a third brake light. We did not find any glaring exterior
imperfections.
Interior
Ebony plastic panels make up the door panels which are simple and
neat and include a Bose speaker contoured into the corner. Inside,
black leather bucket seats are both inviting and heavily bolstered,
adorned with attractive red stitching and the Z06 logo on the
headrest, and both are in great shape. A meaty leather wrapped
steering wheel equips the driver with confident grip while the
simple instrument cluster ahead is concise and clear and you won't
be cycling through touch screens to know how the car is doing.
Control buttons are arranged like parentheses and surround the
cluster within easy reach. The center stack does have a screen for
GPS and the AM/FM/CD radio with Bluetooth connectivity, over a row
of simple buttons that make up the climate panel. And if you brave
cold temperatures to take this performer out, heated seats are on
call for both you and your passenger. The Z06 always comes with a
manual and a stout stick awaits your manipulation while your elbow
stays planted on the armrest. Low pile black carpet covers the
floor like a second skin and also coats the cargo area in back, and
everything we just talked about is in essentially mint
condition.
Drivetrain
Dressed in red plastic covers is the mighty 7.0 liter LS7 V8
pumping out 505 horsepower, 100 more than C5 Z06, and that car was
no slouch! It's mated to a TR6060 6-speed manual transmission
sending power to the rear axle with 3.42 gears with limited slip.
Naturally, power disc brakes on drilled rotors occupy the front and
rear of this street legal trackable car.
Undercarriage
6,000 miles has had very little impact on the underside which is
clean and free of surface rust. We note a drop of oil at the plug
and a film on the pan, but all else is dry and clean. The dual
exhaust comes off of headers and into Borla mufflers and quad tips.
Corvette's SLA double wishbone suspension with transverse mounted
composite leaf springs make up the complex suspension of front and
rear.
Drive-Ability
An absolute train on rails, this Z06 presents and drives like a new
car and says what you will about C7 and C8 Corvettes, the C6 Z06 is
an objectively impressive piece of machinery. The seats lock you in
and controls are race car efficient in their ergonomics. And, as
expected, all functions work in and on this silver bullet. 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.
Sure, you could have a base Stingray and there would be nothing
wrong with that. They perform well and offer a relatively
inexpensive gateway into the world of sports cars. And the mall
typically has something on the line of 40 different Corvettes in
stock. But if you want to experience next level performance with
just a bit more exclusivity, the Z06 is the ride for you. Think of
the mall as a pet store. You could settle for a Goldendoodle that
will fetch the ball, or you can have the Malinois who can climb
walls and do backflips. Here's one that's barely broken in and
awaits a new pampering parent to take it home.
