2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 - Articles Surfing

What's new for the 2006 Corvette Z06?

First, the 2006 Chevrolet Corvette has been redesigned for the 2006-year model. It has enhanced features, but in this article I want to tell you specifically about the Z06 features to this model.

The Z06 is, of course, the fastest vette ever built. It will have a 500 horsepower 427 cubic inch engine with lightweight components. What does this mean in a 3130-pound car? It means superior performance beyond all other Corvettes. Estimated 0-60 in less than 4 seconds along with a sub 12-second quarter mile. Top speed is reported to be more than 190 MPH (on a closed race track of course).

What makes this new Corvette so much better? Several components:

  1. 500-hp/475 lb.-ft torque
  2. 7000 RPM redline
  3. 11.0:1 Compression
  4. Titanium connecting rods
  5. Titanium intake valves and pushrods
  6. Hand built engine
  7. Dry sump lubrication
  8. Aluminum body structure
  9. Carbon fiber front fenders
  10. Magnesium front cradle
  11. Fixed roof design for rigidity
  12. Larger grill and cold air intake scoop
  13. Wide rear fenders and a rear spoiler incorporated into the tail of the car
  14. Larger cross-drilled front and rear disc brakes
  15. Larger wheels and tires
  16. 3* exhaust
  17. Light weight seats with fixed side bolsters

Options:

  1. Bose audio with an in dash six CD changer
  2. Polished wheels
  3. Telescoping steering wheel
  4. Heated seats
  5. Navigation system
  6. Homelink
  7. XM Satellite Radio

All in all, this is going to be one of the best Corvettes Chevrolet has ever offered. I can*t wait to see one.
