General Overview
The Chevrolet Corvette is the most successful and lasting American sports car ever produced. Benefiting from significant resources offered by parent company Chevrolet and General Motors, the Corvette name has brought performance from the racetrack to street tuned machines introducing new generations to the refined combination of power and handling with scores of incremental improvements over more than 70 years.
Among the most well-known and revered contemporary models built, the C6 Z06 is considered one of the best performance packages prepared for street use.

The Z06 package included the largest small-block ever produced – the 7.0 L 427 V8 LS7 engine which put out a whopping 505 hp, making it the most powerful naturally aspirated engine produced by GM, a record that would stand for 15 years. The hand-built dry sump engine ran titanium connecting rods and a host of other technical features that made the performance and durability legendary for this series Corvette.
Made the official pace car for the 2006 Indy 500, Car and Driver recorded 0-60 mph in 3.6 seconds and a quarter mile time of 11.7 seconds @ 125 mph making it one of the fastest production cars in the world. A record that continues to astonish performance enthusiasts nearly 20 years later.
