2009 Chevrolet Corvette Z06

Awesome Cyber Grey Metallic, Great options and low millage.  When GM first released the Z06, they wanted the world to know that it could take on the best of Europe with the new 505-hp pushrod 7.0-liter V-8 engine.  To make that point, GM held the first press drive of this American sports car in Europe.  At the time, it was the fastest Corvette the company had ever produced, which is a considerable accomplishment given the Corvette racing pedigree and dozens of previous high performance models.

While the horsepower is an impressive figure, many do not realize the weight savings General Motor engineers put the Z06 through.  The aluminum frame weighs a third less than the regular Vette's heavier steel unit.  To retain chassis rigidity, the Z06 opts for a fixed cast-magnesium structure and another magnesium piece for the engine cradle.  Weight was also shed by using carbon-fiber floorboards, front fenders and liners.  The end result is a mosaic of materials.  When all was said and done to the Z06, it weighed in at 3147 pounds,  141 less than the base Vette.  To put that in perspective the Ferrari F430 weighs 3380 pounds, and Porsche's Carrera GT weighs 3146 pounds.

This particular Z06 is presented in Cyber Grey Metallic with Ebony leather interior.  This Corvette features the 2ZL package, adding nice amenities including navigation, heated seats, BOSE premium audio as well as chrome Spyder wheels.  The Z06 was only available with a proper 6-speed and only 15,360 miles are indicated on the odometer.

This Corvette is an incredible opportunity to acquire a high performance sports car at a very competitive price point.  The car looks new inside and out and has been cared for in a very desirable manner.  If an incredibly fast, and surprisingly practical two seat sports car is on your mind, look no further than this impressive Cyber Grey Z06.
