Corvette Z06 Special Anniversay Issue

We work hard to ensure you get the New or Pre-owned Chevrolet car that you've always wanted. It is the fifth consecutive year that Chevrolet has chosen the Corvette to pace the iconic NASCAR event and the Corvette Z06’s special “anniversary gold” appearance represents one Chevy’s most uniquely designed pace cars. The LT starts at $47,150 and bumps up the horsepower from current C6 levels to 450HP. If you’re keeping tally, that’s about 30 more horses than either last year’s base Vette or the ’90s ZR1.

Olivier Beretta and Oliver Gavin took home the drivers championships. Rears calipers are Brembo 4 piston. Tires were also increased in diameter and width, along with bigger and stronger brakes, adjustable suspension, and optional chrome wheels and a premium interior package. Alright, maybe the Vette is not that subtle, but it surely has less to prove.

What isn't a certainty is the best way to go about making insane amounts of horsepower with the car. And then there's the body. The Z06 comes only with a 6-speed manual and delivers 15 mpg in the city and 24 on highways. The available Corvette audio system with navigation communicates route and roadside information on screen verbally or via the available Head-Up Display.

Standard features for the Corvette coupe include leather seating surfaces, dual-zone automatic climate control with a pollen filter, power everything (including seats), cruise control and HID headlights. The NEW standard sill plate for the Corvette features a brushed-aluminum appearance. In addition to achieving speeds of nearly 200 miles per hour, the car will also be capable of changing colors from green, blue, gold and yellow. Upon its return, the fluid removes additional heat from the differential lube before returning to the transmission.

That means you'll need at least $105,000 to get behind the wheel. A standard dynamic shock system automatically adjusts to driving needs, shifting quickly from road compliance to track firmness. Air enters the front of the blower, is compressed to a maximum of 10.

The front fenders are made of carbon fiber by Plasan USA to reduce weight, while wider rear fenders allow for the wider tires necessary to deal with the engine's increased power. The sprint time from 0-100km/h is reduced to about 3 seconds. The prominent aerodynamic front splitter is.

The Corvette is the everyman's supercar and it lacks the sophistication and versatility that Porsche has with the 911 to be a jack of all trades. The LS9 supercharged V8 is a pushrod 2 valve motor just like all other corvette engines. The Convertible adds sport seats with adjustable lumbar support and side bolsters. The expanded performance envelope of the Corvette ZR1 required changes to the dry sump system also used in the Z06.

The Corvette has always been aimed to be affordable, and the refinement that you speak of in comparison to the Acura NSX is easily achievable by GM, it would just make the Corvette unaffordable to most, and that goes against why they sell it. The 2007 Corvette is a carryover from 2006. The Z06R won the FIA GT GT3 series in its second year of entry. There’s a smaller three-spoke steering wheel on 2006 models.
