Chevrolet
introduced the Corvette Z06 at the North American International
Auto Show. It is the fastest, most powerful car ever offered
by Chevrolet and General Motors. It is comprised of an unprecedented
level of capability and technology, making it one of the greatest
performance values on the market.
With 500 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque, The ZO6 is the
most powerful passenger car engine ever produced by Chevrolet
and GM. The LS7 is easily identified under the hood by red engine
covers with black lettering.
The Corvette Z06’s powertrain and drivetrain systems are
matched to the LS7’s performance capability. The light,
four-into-one headers discharge in to new, close-coupled catalytic
converters and through to new “bi-modal” mufflers.
The mufflers each feature a vacuum-actuated outlet valve, which
controls exhaust noise during low-load operation but opens for
maximum power.
The aerodynamics of the Corvette Z06’s exterior were shaped
by the experiences of the Corvette racing program, where high-speed
stability and cornering capability are paramount. And while
the racecars use large rear wings, the Z06’s elevated spoiler
provides sufficient downforce to balance the road-worthy front
splitter without adversely affecting aerodynamic drag. The Z06’s
Cd is 0.31.
For all its race-inspired functionality, the Corvette Z06 is
designed to be a daily drivable high-performance vehicle. To
that end, comfort and convenience are held to a very high standard.
HID lighting, fog lamps, leather seating, dual-zone air conditioning,
cabin air filtration and Head-Up Display (HUD) with track mode
and g-meter are standard.
