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: 427. While still technically a small block member of the LS family of V8sand#44; the LS7 in the Z06 was a fire-breathing near-race pieceand#44; making the Z06 nothing short of a weaponand#44; both on the track and on the street. This nasty black 2008 Z06 remains in showroom fresh condition throughoutand#44; and unlike many Z06sand#44; hasnt been used as a track toy or daily driver. With only 28and#44;622 original milesand#44; it has been driven only on sunny daysand#44; and its spectacular condition bears this out. Only 2585 Z06s were built in this colorand#44; making it the most popular colorand#44; but if you have the nastiest car on the blockand#44; is there any other choice? As a beautifully preserved and expertly maintained pieceand#44; the highest praise we can give this car is that it is factory fresh in almost every way. It has never been damaged or hitand#44; and every single panel and every square inch of paint is as it was applied in Bowling Green. 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 headlights. The effect is subtleand#44; but nobody will mistake a Z06 for a garden-variety Corvette. 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 RPM redline tachometer and has readout on the oil pressure gauge to reflect the higher pressure of the dry-sump oiling system. The seats feature two-tone leather surfacesand#44; with Z06-logo embroidery and contrasting stitching. As with the exteriorand#44; the interior of the car is in superb shapeand#44; with only very light signs of use. But 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. This one has a few upgrades including a Comp Cams camshaftand#44; custom heads with stainless valvesand#44; and a little more compressionand#44; plus a set of long-tube headers and a Corsa exhaust system. All toldand#44; it makes 558 horsepower at the rear wheels. Yeahand#44; impressive! The rear-mounted 6-speed transmission gets its own set of gears that are designed for the output and power curve of the LS7 engineand#44; and includes 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 that have been painted redand#44; as is fashionable these days. Out backand#44; four piston units clamp merely large 13.4-inch rotorsand#44; which are still larger than the front rotors on the C5 Corvette. Those matte titanium gray wheels were the largest ever fitted to a Corvette up to that point: 18x9.5 up front and 19x12 out backand#44; wearing 275/35/18 and 325/30/19 Goodyear run-flat tiresand#44; respectively. With a clean CarFax reportand#44; a complete set of manualsand#44; and loaded with optionsand#44; this is a screaming bargain. Your right foot wont know what year the accelerator pedal isand#44; so why not take this 2008 Z06 home today? |
