Cheverolet Corvette Z06


The Corvette Z06 is the second half of the C5’s life with a Corvette model for the extreme performance enthusiast in all of us. They combine attributes of the sixth-generation corvette with technology and winning determination from the C5-R program.

The car is the most powerful and the fastest car that Chevrolet and GM has ever produced.

There are several features that are new to the 2007 model. The first is OnStar. It also features a wider glove compartment due to advances in airbag technology. The real treat comes in the form of a new engine. The 2007 model reintroduces the 427-cubic-inch engine to the Corvette. Unlike the previous big-block design, the new 7.0-liter engine LS7 is a small-block V-8. This is the largest-displacement small-block ever produced by GM. This engine pushes out 500 horses.

The Aerodynamics of the Z06’s Exterior were shaped by Corvette’s racing program where high-speed stability and cornering were essential. The large rear wing that is used in the racing model is replaced with an elevated spoiler that provides considerable downforce.
