Z06 Corvette (1YY87)

The base price of the 2006 Chevy Z06 Corvette without any optional equipment.
Included a 427 cubic-inch (7.0L) V8 engine mated exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission.
The Z06 engine (LS7) had the same 427 cubic-inch displacement as the legendary big-block 1966-1969 Corvettes, although the 2006’s LS7 was built from a small-block engine. Hand assembled at GM’s performance build center in Wixom, Michigan, the engine featured 4.125-inch cylinder bores in an aluminum block with pressed-in steel cylinder liners, titanium connecting rods and intake valves, an 8-quart dry-sump oiling system with remote reservoir, 11:1 compression, 7000-rpm redline, and 3.7 seconds, 0-60 mph times.
The Z06’s battery was moved from under the hood (as in the coupe) to aft of the rear wheels.
The Z06 returned for the 2006 model year (after being absent for the inaugural model year of the C6).
Based on the Corvette coupe, the Z06 had unique aluminum-frame architecture, magnesium-supported fixed roof panel, a magnesium engine cradle, and specific body panels and trim unique to the Z06.
The Z06 had a unique front fascia with a larger grille and cold air scoop. Fenders were wider and restyled. The front fenders and wheelhouses were made of carbon fiber. Similarly, carbon fiber sandwiched the balsa floor. The passenger power seat adjuster was not available in the Z06. The car’s sound deadening system was reduced and the rear power hatch pulldown was eliminated.
These later items were installed to aid in reducing the Z06’s curb weight to 3,132 lbs.
The Z06’s frame, which was supplied by Dana Corp, was 30% lighter than its steel counterpart.
Z06 included extended mobility (run-flat) Goodyear Eagle F1 supercar tires, P275/35ZR18 front and P325/30ZR19 rear.
Z06 wheels, a specific 10-spoke design, were the same diameter as the base coupe and convertible models, but wider at 18×9.5 inch (front) and 19×12 inch (rear).
The base Z06 Corvette was identified with the VIN designation – 1LZ.

Although the Corvette coupe came equipped with the painted roof, this option allowed consumers to purchase both the fiberglass and the lexan roof tops. Both tops came fully equipped with all weatherstripping and hardware to properly fit/secure them to the car.

Removable Roof Panel, Transparent (Coupe) (CC3)

Optional transparent removable roof panel.
All Corvette coupes came equipped with a color matched roof panel. Consumers who wished to purchase the transparent panel in place of the color matched (painted fiberglass) roof panel could do so for an additional cost.
The transparent roof panel was made out Lexan and included all the same weatherstripping, mouldings, latches and hardware as the color matched, fiberglass top.

Power Convertible Top (3LT Required) (CM7)

Optional drive assembly to automate Corvette’s convertible top.
Note: Included a monitor switch in the trunk of the Corvette to identify the top’s status during operation. In some instances, this switch could get out of alignment causing the automatic convertible top to stop operating.

Magnetic Selective Ride Control (Coupe/Convertible) (F55)

Was available with the coupe and convertible models. It was not available or Corvettes equipped with the Z51 performance option or on Z06 Corvettes.

Six-speed Paddle Automatic Transmission (Coupe/Conv.) (MXO)

Notes

A red. white, and blue Z06 paced the 2006 Indianapolis 500. The car was driven by cyclist Lance Armstrong. One of the three pace cars built for the race was sold to private owner, Ed Fastook.
Front airbags employ passenger-sensing technology. A sensor in the passenger seat automatically disables the passenger-side airbag if no passenger (or a passenger under a predetermined weight) is detected.
