2002 Chevrolet Corvette Z06

Chevrolet’s Corvette has been the automaker’s halo sports car since 1953. Named after the small and agile Corvette class of warships, the Corvette has captured the hearts of many over the decades. The fifth-generation or C5 was produced between 1997 and 2004 and is notable for being the last generation to feature pop-up headlamps. The top performance model of the C5 was called the Z06, and what we have here is a 2002 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 from New Jersey with 40,000 miles on the clock. It’s been serviced at the dealer in New Jersey by the current owner and comes with the original owner's manuals and books, laminated build sheet copy, and two keys included in the sale.

Exterior and Interior

The C5 Corvette saw a smoothening of the crisp-folded-paper-edge lines styling that the C4 brought upon the model. This 2002 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 looks fantastic with its Quicksilver paint job and satin black C6 wheels. The original wheels are included in the sale as well. Being a hardtop as opposed to the more common coupe, the steeper and shorter profile of the rear window gives it a dramatic appearance, as do its oh-so-desirable pop-up headlamps. A quartet of exhaust outlets at the rear hint at the under-hood potency that it packs. A car cover is included in the sale too. The interior features a Torch Red and Black two-tone color scheme with two leather-trimmed bucket seats hosting the Z06 logo in their headrests. The driver is faced with a set of clear and neat gauges on a checkered flag background, including a 200mph speedometer which surely raises the pulse. Dual-zone climate control is present, as is a Bose amplifier and speaker system for the AM/FM/CD stereo with Theftlock.

Engine

This 2002 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 received the power bump that came with the 2002 model year cars onwards, which means that its 5.7L V8 puts out 405hp, over 385hp from the previous model years. Torque stands at 400lb-ft. Drive is to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission Other Z06 specialties include upgraded suspension, revised gear ratios, functional brake cooling ducts, and titanium exhaust system. The zero to sixty dash is dispatched in four seconds flat. This example has received a recent oil change and rebuild of the ABS module.
