Special editions are nothing new to Corvette fansand#44; but this 2004 Corvette Z06 Commemorative Edition offers a lot more than special paint and graphics to go along with its limited production status (only 2025 were built). Starting with a burly 405 horsepower LS6and#44; its a near-seamless blend of awesome good looks and hardcore performance. The fixed-roof coupe was a late addition to the C5 lineupand#44; ostensibly to provide a platform for the take-no-prisoners Z06 model. Lighterand#44; stifferand#44; and strongerand#44; it was the ultimate expression of Corvette performance. The Commemorative Edition celebrates back-to-back wins at Le Mans with special Le Mans Blue paint and graphics that emulate the C5R models that were used on the track. In shortand#44; its tasteful and attention-grabbing without being over-wrought like some earlier special models. With 82and#44;766 original milesand#44; it has obviously been in the care of true Corvette enthusiasts since it was new because it looks more like 12and#44;000 miles. Finish quality is extremely nice and all the Z06 details are thereand#44; including the mesh screens on the nose and the brake cooling ducts just ahead of the rear wheels. This is one Corvette that walks (relatively) softly and carries a big stick. The only interior you could get with a Z06 was black leatherand#44; but thats just fine with us since it looks so impressive. The Commemorative Editions received special embroidery on the headrestsand#44; but otherwise it was standard C5 fareand#44; but that also means its comfortable enough for cross-country travel and spacious enough for all your gear. Everything works as it shouldand#44; including ice cold dual-zone A/Cand#44; power windowsand#44; locksand#44; and drivers seatand#44; and a replacement Pioneer AM/FM/CD stereo system (the factory head unit is included) feeding the original Bose speakers. Theres minimal wear and certainly its in line with the mileageand#44; and the carpets have been protected from new by a set of matching black floor mats. The Z06 also offers a good-sized trunk thats fully lined in black carpetand#44; meaning that you can use this Corvette like a real car should that be your intention. Experts will note that theres a bulkhead between the trunk and the passenger compartmentand#44; which is designed to keep the A/C up front where it belongsand#44; a nice touch! The Z06s LS6 V8 made a very stout 405 horsepower in stock formand#44; which was a pretty big number back in 2004. The LS6 is easily identified by its bright red coil coversand#44; and while the C5 was insanely easy to modifyand#44; this one appears to be almost entirely stock. Stock performance cars are usually well-maintained and not abusedand#44; with this one being no exception. It starts quicklyand#44; idles smoothlyand#44; and pulls hardand#44; and everything works as it should. Againand#44; careful maintenance means that the engine bay looks almost new and its worth noting that these cars wear the first mass-produced carbon-fiber hood to shave pounds. The standard 6-speed manual transmission shifts crisply in the heat of battle and the stock exhaust is made of titaniumand#44; so no need for an upgrade there. Beautiful chrome Z06 wheels look fantastic against the LeMans Blue paint and carry stock-sized 245/45/17 front and 275/40/18 rear Michelin radials with fewer than 250 miles on them. A very impressive machine with all-around performanceand#44; this is a rare and civilized Corvette at a very reasonable price. Call today! |
