2007 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe �€" Le Mans Blue, LS2 V8, 6-Speed
Automatic with Targa Top Why This Car Is Special The 2007 Chevrolet
Corvette sits at an interesting crossroads in Corvette history. It
was the final model year for the C6's LS2 6.0-liter V8 before
Chevrolet replaced it with the more powerful LS3 for 2008. That
makes 2007 a natural dividing line �€" you get the fully sorted,
refined C6 platform that had been developed and debugged since
2005, without the price premium that newer examples command. The C6
generation itself was a significant departure from the C5: the
wheelbase grew slightly, the body became more sculpted and
purposeful, and exposed headlights returned for the first time
since the 1962 model. Chevrolet also shed considerable weight
compared to its predecessor and stiffened the chassis dramatically.
This particular example is finished in Le Mans Blue, a color with
obvious nods to Corvette's long history in endurance racing, and it
presents in clean, well-kept condition throughout. The VIN on this
car decodes to confirm it as a standard C6 Corvette coupe built at
the Bowling Green, Kentucky assembly plant �€" the only facility
that has ever produced the Corvette. The 'Y' in position five of
the VIN confirms the base coupe body style, and the '2' in position
six confirms the LS2 engine. Every 2007 Corvette coupe was
assembled by hand at Bowling Green, a tradition that sets this car
apart from virtually every other American production vehicle.

Display (HUD) Mechanical The LS2 is a 6.0-liter aluminum
small-block V8 rated at 400 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque in
2007 Corvette trim. It is part of GM's Gen IV small-block family
and shares its basic architecture with the legendary LS engine
series that enthusiasts have been building, modifying, and
transplanting into nearly everything since the late 1990s. The LS2
was also found in the Cadillac CTS-V and Pontiac GTO during this
era, though the Corvette-spec tune was the most potent of the
bunch. It is an all-aluminum design, which contributes to the C6's
relatively low curb weight of approximately 3,178 pounds for the
coupe �€" a number that still impresses compared to modern sports
cars of similar performance. Paired to the LS2 here is the 6-speed
automatic transmission, the 4L65-E unit. This was a popular choice
among buyers who wanted the full performance of the Corvette with a
more relaxed driving experience. The automatic also allowed drivers
to make full use of the LS2's broad, flat torque curve without
constantly working through a clutch in traffic. The 4L65-E is a
known-quantity gearbox with a strong reliability record. This
combination puts 0-60 mph in the low four-second range, with a top
speed governed at 186 mph. The undercarriage photos on this listing
are worth studying. The C6 Corvette uses a hydroformed steel frame
with composite body panels above it �€" there is no traditional
unibody or body-on-frame structure. What you see underneath is the
car's structural backbone exposed, and on this example it is clean
and dry with no signs of corrosion, seepage, or repair work. The
suspension is an independent setup front and rear, with transverse
composite leaf springs, a design Corvette has used for decades and
one that delivers a surprisingly compliant ride while maintaining
precise handling. The dual exhaust exits cleanly at the rear and
shows no rust or patchwork. Interior The grey leather interior is
well-suited to a car that sees real use. It is a practical pairing
with Le Mans Blue �€" it does not show grime the way a tan or cream
interior would, and it does not absorb heat the way a black
interior does in
