Details: When Chevrolet introduced the C6 Z06 in 2006and#44; they had three magical numbers that would ring true with Bow Tie enthusiasts all over the world: 4-2-7. This sinister twin-turbocharged 2007 Z06 is nothing short of a weaponand#44; both on the track and on the streetand#44; and you wont find a faster car for less cash anywhere.

This particular Black Z06 remains in excellent condition throughoutand#44; suggesting careful ownership since it was new. With only 28and#44;966 original milesand#44; it has been driven only on sunny daysand#44; and its well-preserved condition bears this out. Black was the most popular Z06 color in 2007and#44; and if you like your Corvettes to walk softly and carry a big stickand#44; this one is for you. 2527 Z06s were built in Blackand#44; and its easy to understand why because the sucker looks nasty just sitting still. The Z06 enjoys wider wheel flares that give it a lowand#44; menacing stance as well as a custom front fascia with a special air intake between the headlightsand#44; and now fitted with a ZR1 front splitter. A few aftermarket body modsand#44; including the air extractor on the backand#44; only highlight the racetrack breeding. The effect isnt subtleand#44; and nobody will mistake this Z06 for a garden-variety Corvette. It does show some very minor signs of useand#44; because its impossible to resist driving this carand#44; but if you want one to driveand#44; this is a fantastic choice (well tell you why in a moment).

As with the exteriorand#44; the interior of the car is in superb shapeand#44; with only very light signs of use. For all its race-inspired functionalityand#44; the Z06 is designed to be a daily-drivable high-performance vehicle. To that endand#44; comfort and convenience are held to a very high standard. HID headlightsand#44; fog lampsand#44; leather seatingand#44; dual-zone air conditioningand#44; cabin air filtration and a heads-up display (HUD) with track mode and g-meter are standard. The Z06 gauge cluster displays the Z06 logo on the 7000-redline tachometer and has readout on the oil pressure gauge to reflect the higher standard pressure of the dry-sump oiling system. The seats feature leather seating surfacesand#44; with Z06-logo embroidery and contrasting stitchingand#44; and someone has added a custom shifter for the 6-speed manual gearbox. The only other modifications are a back-up camera in place of the rear-view mirrorand#44; andand#44; of courseand#44; the roll cage built in behind the seats.

The real drama is under this Vettes skin. That 427 cubic inch V8 is no jokeand#44; and with its aluminum constructionand#44; it weighs several hundred pounds less than the legendary 427s of the 60sand#44; while extracting more performance than ever before. But thats not alland#44; because the guys at Lindgren Supercars added a pair of big honkin turbos to the front of the engine. With a fabricated intakeand#44; custom fuel systemand#44; and upgraded injectorsand#44; the nasty LS7 is as docile as a stocker but makes about three times more horsepower. An expert dyno tune ensures that its very streetable despite the towering power output. The rear-mounted 6-speed transmission gets a pump that sends transmission fluid forward to be cooled in a dedicated heat exchanger. Massive 14-inch brakes are clamped by six piston calipers while out backand#44; four piston units clamp merely large 13.4-inch rotors. Its been fitted with a custom coil-over suspensionand#44; upgraded dry sump systemand#44; and a hand-made exhaust setup that manages to sound amazing even with two turbos hushing it all up. Wheels are large-by-huge COR Cipher forged alloys with a flat black coating and wearing 285/25/20 front and 345/25/20 rear Toyo performance radials.

Featured in multiple magazine articlesand#44; the list of modifications and upgrades on this car is far too extensive to describe here. This remarkable machine is docile enough to drive to work
