2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z06

2006 Chevrolet Corvette



As the classic American sports car, the Corvette is power and style personified. It is a great performance value that matches cars costing twice as much. A 6.0L and 7.0L V-8 (Z06 only) is coupled to 6-speed manual or paddle-shift automatic (N/A on Z06). The Z06 has uprated brakes, larger wheels, run-flat tires, and lighter magnesium chassis components. Three suspension calibrations and Active Handling vehicle dynamics control are available.

What's New

Chevy takes on the Dodge Viper with the ultimate street legal Corvette: the Z06. The famous 7.0L (427 C.I.) V-8 returns to the Corvette in the new Z06 (although GM calls the LS7 a small-block). This special motor is hand-assembled for optimum performance, and redlines at an impressive 7000 RPM. The latest Z06 is the fastest car ever offered by GM: 0-60 mph in less than 4 seconds, 1/4 mile under 12 seconds, and a top speed greater than 190 mph. Other unique performance upgrades include carbon-fiber front fender, 6-piston front/4-piston rear brakes, and a dry sump engine lubrication system.
