The C5 Z06 was only offered as a fixed-roof coupe for increased chassis stiffness and featured mesh grille inserts, and weight-saving measures such as thinner glass and reduced sound deadening when compared to the standard C5. This example is finished in black and features pop-up headlights, Z06 fender badges, and rear brake vents, and window tint has been applied. A scratch is noted on the left side of the rear bumper near the taillight.

The C5 Z06 was only offered as a fixed-roof coupe for increased chassis stiffness and featured mesh grille inserts, and weight-saving measures such as thinner glass and reduced sound deadening when compared to the standard C5. This example is finished in black and features pop-up headlights, Z06 fender badges, and rear brake vents, and window tint has been applied. A scratch is noted on the left side of the rear bumper near the taillight.
Factory-style 17″ and 18″ polished wheels are wrapped in 265/40 front and 295/30 rear with Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport tires. The Z06 suspension featured a larger front stabilizer bar, increased damping, and a higher spring rate than the standard Corvette. The car is equipped with active handling and traction control systems, speed-sensitive rack-and-pinion power steering, and ventilated disc brakes at all four corners.
The cabin features two seats upholstered in black leather. Amenities include a Hurst shifter, a six-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with memory settings as well as a head-up display, dual-zone automatic climate control, an onboard computer, cruise control, and electrochromic mirrors. An aftermarket audio system includes a Kenwood head unit, replacement door speakers, tweeters mounted on the A-pillars, a Stereo Integrity subwoofer, and Zapco amplifiers. The removed factory head unit and door speakers are included in the sale. A whine in the audio system is noted.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts a 200-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline along with gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates less than 10k miles, approximately 300 of which were added under current ownership.
The 5.7-liter LS6 V8 was based upon the contemporary LS1 and features a refined aluminum block, a higher-lift camshaft, a 10.5:1 compression ratio, and increased air and oil flow. Factory-rated output for the 2003 model year was 405 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. A Corsa exhaust is fitted. The oil and air filter were replaced in preparation for the sale.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transaxle and a 3.42:1 limited-slip differential.
