2009 Chevrolet - Corvette

Product Details

The Corvette line doesn't get better than the Z06 which is the most powerful Corvette and the lightest. The expanded power comes from a new pushrod 7.0 liter V8 engine producing 505 horsepower. The genius here is in the details with careful attention paid to maximum airflow and valvetrain weight and stiffness. The result is a big engine that revs like a small one to 7000 rpm with a 6300 rpm horsepower peak. The headliner in the weight-loss program is the aluminum frame that weighs 136 pounds, which works out to a third less than the regular Vette's heavier but stronger steel unit. To retain chassis rigidity, the Z06 eschews the removable roof for a fixed cast-magnesium structure and another magnesium piece for the engine cradle. Weight was also shed by using carbon-fiber floorboards and front fenders and liners. When all was said and done to the Z06, it weighed in at 3147 pounds, or 141 less than the base Vette. To put that in perspective, Ferrari's all-aluminum F430 weighs 3380 pounds, and Porsche's carbon-fiber $446,000 Carrera GT weighs 3146 pounds. This car has a better power to weight ratio than a Ford GT. This is truly world class performance in an easily streetable car. It's easy to get in and out of, and there are plenty of creature comforts. Car & Driver's independent test times on road courses put this car up there with the Ford GT and the Ferrari F430 which both cost more than double the price. This is a 1-owner Corvette Z06 with low miles in absolute excellent pristine condition. This car is stock with these additions: competition pedals, interior console trim, shifter knob trim, rear split window trim, dash & bumper Corvette lettering, rear window curtain, and a Billy Boat hi-performance exhaust with chrome mufflers. This car also features: 4-wheel independent suspension, 6-speed manual transmission, power speed sensitive rack & pinion steering, Navigation, Z06 spider design chrome aluminum wheels, heated seats, Bose premium 7-speaker system, power telescoping steering wheel, memory package, 4-wheel disc brakes, and heads up display. There are many more awesome features in this awesome car!
