C6 Corvette Z06 Price, Specs, Photos & Review

C6 Corvette Z06 Price

If you demand the very best from your American supercar, the only logical choice is the C6 Corvette Z06 for sale. It arrived in 2006 as a distinct model from the normal Corvette, with production ending in 2013. Innovation is why the C6 Corvette Z06 price started a hair under $70,000. Inflation and depreciation have taken their toll, and that is why a showroom condition C6 Corvette Z06 for sale will be half its original price.

C6 Corvette Z06 Review

For a proper C6 Corvette Z06 review, you will have the most fun on a closed course. Because it is lighter and stronger than its predecessors, you will not approach the limits of this car on public roads. Thanks to the 3.42 differential gears, the C6 Corvette Z06 horsepower can be felt in any gear.

With 505 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque, the driver can easily shift using only half the gears. 1-3-5 or 2-4-6 are not a problem for the big engine. Because the LS7 engine was bred to win LeMans, it is very efficient on the highway. While cruising in 6th gear, it is not uncommon to achieve 30 miles per gallon.

C6 Corvette Z06 Specs

Option code Z06 began in 1963 as a performance option. What it boils down to is the most powerful engine and removal of luxuries like radio, heater, and insulation. Times have changed, so the C6 Z06 Specs include dual climate control, Bose surround sound, and a six-speed manual transmission.

Even with such amenities, the C6 Corvette Z06 top speed is 198 mph. With sticky tires, the C6 Corvette Z06 0-60 can be 3 seconds flat. Fancy footwork will allow the 1/4 mile to arrive in 10.98 seconds. Make no mistake, this car was built to move.

C6 Z06 Corvette Specs:

Price: $70,000
Engine: 7-liter V8
Transmission: 6-speed manual
Horsepower: 505 hp
Torque: 470 lb-ft
0-60: 3.0 seconds
1/4 Mile: 10.98 @ 123 mph
Top Speed: 198 mph
Weight: 3,130 lbs

The C6 Corvette Z06 has a spacious and comfortable interior

C6 Corvette Z06 Engine

Now we come to the heart of the beast. When Chevrolet designed the LS series small block in the ’90s, their intention was to make big-block power while offering world-class efficiency. Each example was assembled by hand at GM’s performance center in Wixom, MI.

Starting with a stronger casting, steel liners are pressed in to handle the high compression. The crank is forged and it spins titanium rods and flat-top pistons. Each cylinder is honed with a deck plate to simulate the heads being torqued down. The heads have CNC ported intake, exhaust, and 70cc chambers. Hydroformed exhaust manifolds resemble aftermarket headers and allow for high-rpm flow.

Every C6 Corvette Z06 has a ram air intake.

C6 Corvette Z06 Transmission

Connected to the engine by a torque tube, the C6 Corvette Z06 transmission is mounted at the rear axles. From 2006 to ’07 it was the Tremec T56, a hardened version of the C6 transmission with triple synchros. Introduced in 2008, the Tremec TR-6060 has a stronger case and a revised shifter. Stronger shift forks and linkages made the C6 Corvette Z06 easier to drive.

Even though 5th and 6th gear are overdrives, it is possible to start in 5th gear by feathering the clutch. It will take you all the way to 198 mph without shifting. If you are looking for an automatic, the C6 Corvette Z06 transmission was manual only.

Who could say no to this inviting C6 Corvette Z06 interior?

C6 Corvette Z06 Interior

From first glance, the only unique features of the C6 Corvette Z06 interior are the embroidered headrests. But engineers were on a quest to shave all unnecessary weight. Therefore, the carpet is thinner and lacks insulation. Both floorboards are made of balsa wood and carbon fiber sandwich. Not only is this sustainable, but it also offers superior heat and sound insulation while keeping weight at a minimum. Navigation, heads-up display, and heated seats were also unveiled in the C6 Corvette Z06 interior.

Massive brakes are standard equipment on the C6 Corvette Z06.

C6 Corvette Z06 Brakes

Another first for the plastic fantastic is the unique C6 Corvette Z06 brakes. Instead of a larger 4-piston design, the front calipers have six pistons to grab a rotor measuring 14″ in diameter and 1.3″ thick. The rears are 4-piston with 13.4″x 1″. Although servicing the brakes is more expensive than other Corvettes, their massive size allows for long intervals of worry-free stopping.

C6 Corvette Z06 Standout Features

In the quest to build the ultimate Corvette, the C6 Z06 was the first to feature an aluminum frame. This mandated a fixed roof that can’t be opened. A magnesium engine cradle mounts the LS7 lower and to the rear compared to a base model. As a true driver’s car, there was only one transmission, a six-speed manual. Thanks to the prodigious torque, it is possible to slowly start in 5th gear and accelerate to 198 mph without shifting.
