News Releases







For Release: June 13, 2005


Chevy announces Corvette Z06 0-60 mph time and base price
Corvette outperforms key competitive supercars at 1/3 the price


DETROIT – June 13, 2005 – The ultimate Corvette—the 2006
Corvette Z06—is posting numbers at the track and on the window
sticker that will get attention. Chevrolet has announced that
the fastest Corvette ever—the 505-horsepower Corvette Z06—will
achieve 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds while still in first gear, and
pricing will start at $65,800, including destination and freight
charges.


“Corvette is a global icon for world-class sports car
performance at an incredible value, and offering the fastest
production Corvette ever at this price is another testament to
that reputation,� said Ed Peper, Chevrolet general manager.
“When you compare the Corvette Z06 performance stats to other
supercars, you see numerous examples where you’re getting better
performance with Corvette for one-third the sticker price of the
competition.�


Developed alongside the Corvette C6.R race car, the Corvette Z06
uses advanced lightweight materials typically found only in the
most exotic supercars. Use of weight-saving materials such as
carbon fiber, aluminum, titanium and magnesium give the
3,132-pound car a highly competitive weight-to-power ratio of
6.2 pounds per horsepower.


“The new Corvette Z06 is the dividend from competing so
successfully in endurance racing,� said Dave Hill, Corvette’s
chief engineer. “It combines the strong attributes of the new,
sixth-generation Corvette with the spirit, technology and
know-how from the race program to form an American supercar with
outstanding credentials.� The highly anticipated Corvette Z06,
which will be available in the fourth quarter of 2005, completes
the sixth-generation portfolio, which also includes the 400-hp
Corvette coupe and convertible.


Previous Corvette Z06 models, from the original 1963 model to
the 2001-04 editions, incorporated suspension and engine
upgrades that complemented existing Corvette systems. The 2006
Corvette Z06 is more differentiated from the standard Corvette
than any other Z06 in history with every design element serving
a performance function.


Corvette Z06 features include:
LS7 7.0-liter/427-cubic-inch Gen IV V-8 engine with
lightweight reciprocating components
505 horsepower (373 kw) @ 6300 rpm
470 lb.-ft. of torque (657 Nm) @ 4800 rpm
6-speed manual transmission
7000 rpm redline
Aluminum body structure with one-piece hydroformed
perimeter rails frame and magnesium engine cradle
Carbon-fiber composite front fenders, front wheelhouses
and floors
Dry-sump engine lubrication system
Hand-built engine at GM’s new Performance Build Center
Unique design styling that includes a larger grille,
cold-air scoop and lower air splitter, wide-body front and
rear fenders and a taller rear spoiler
Engine, transmission and differential oil coolers and
steering cooler


For all its race-inspired functionality, the Corvette Z06 also
is designed to be refined as a daily driver with a sophisticated
and comfortable interior and generous cargo volume. The Z06 will
be offered in Machine Silver Metallic, Victory Red, Daytona
Sunset Orange, Le Mans Blue Metallic, Velocity Yellow Tintcoat
and Black exterior colors.
