The C5 Z06 was only offered as a fixed-roof coupe for increased chassis stiffness and featured a quad-exit titanium exhaust system, 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 Torch Red and features pop-up headlights, Z06 fender badges, body side moldings, and rear brake vents.
The 17″ and 18″ forged alloy wheels are mounted with Goodyear Eagle F1 tires measuring 265/40 in front and 235/35 out back. 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 six-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with memory, a head-up display, dual-zone automatic climate control, an onboard computer, cruise control, electrochromic mirrors, and a Bose sound system with an in-dash CD player.
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 1,500 miles, approximately 255 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.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission and a 3.42:1 limited-slip differential. Additional underside photos are provided in the gallery below.
The car was initially delivered to Jim Reed Chevrolet in Nashville, Tennessee, and the window sticker lists factory equipment, colors, and a total vehicle price of $52,680.
The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists registration history in Alabama through the final entry in 2012. An open manufacturer’s safety recall from 2004 related to the steering column lock is also noted.
