The Corvettes have a good history of a racing
car. In a period of five years since their launch, the Corvette
C5-R series had 35 victories in 55 races. The latecomer in the
series to add more spice to the show is the 2007 Chevrolet
Corvette Z06. The Z06 sports car combines the best attributes of
the sixth generation Corvette with the modern technology.
2007 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is the fastest and the most powerful
car offered by Chevrolet in association with General Motors. The
advanced features not only offer a new look to the Corvette but
also contribute significantly to increase the power of this
muscular car. The advanced features of Z06 sports car include
the following:
- The security system, OnStar, created by GE, to improve
the safety values of luxury cars. The system offers three
services, viz., access to trained advisors, connection to
emergency assistance, and OnStar Hands-Free Calling facility.
- The new sports car does not have the passenger-side
airbag on/off switch box, and this modification leaves more
room in the glove compartment.
The exterior of the race car looks more appealing with the new
coat of the atomic orange tint coat in place of the old Daytona
Sunset Orange. More features to add to the attraction are the
carbon-fiber front fenders and a magnesium engine cradle. The
removable roof panel is offering the double advantage for an
open-air driving and for adding a perfect look to the Chevrolet.
Still fascinated by Ferrari
F430 supercar?
It is time to rethink before preparing for a Ferrari F430. GM
warns them of the possible ouster from the roads with the launch
of its fastest production car, the 2007 Chevrolet Corvette Z06.
This sports car has got a brilliant acceleration from zero to
60mph in less than 4 seconds, a quarter mile in the mid 11-second
range and the top at 190mph.
The core of this performance is a hand-assembled 7000rpm, 7.0L
V8 LSV engine. The all-aluminum engine is featured with the
titanium connecting rods, intake valves, sodium-filled exhaust
valves, a dry-sump oiling system, a forged-steel crankshaft and
computer-machined cylinder-head porting. It is capable of
producing an awesome 505 HP and 470lb-ft torque. The Vette's 19-inch
rear tires are well prepared to accept the torque through its
six-speed manual transaxle.
The design of the body of the sports car is of paramount
importance for a racing car manufacturer. Chevrolet, with its
years of experience, maintained its technical proficiency by
designing an aerodynamic body that is best suitable for the
racing environment. Chevrolet possesses a few specific features
such as the elevated spoilers for its Z06 in order to provide
sufficient downforce to maintain a balance during the
challenging driving situations.
The Z06 is designed to suit all driving conditions. To exploit
the utility of the racing car on a daily basis, the comfort and
convenience of the passenger have been taken into account on
great share. The HID lighting, dual-zone airconditioning, etc.,
are a few among the many facilities offered for a comfortable
driving. The dual-zone temperature controls allow the driver to
set the convenient temperature and maintain them throughout the
journey automatically. The seats are made of two-tone leathering
surface with contrast stitching.
The innovative gauge cluster displys the Z06 logo on its
tachometer. The tachometer that shows the redline at 7000 and
the oil pressure gauge readout system are the special features
on the instrument panel. The Z06 is provided with a smaller-diameter
three-spoke steering wheel that is capable of offering more
agility. The LED system provided at the instrument cluster
offers amazing clarity in any lighting conditions.
Chevrolet offers a lot of customizable options for the interior
of the sports car. You can impart a colorful interior with the
help of the Interior Trim Packages available at the dealers. It
gives the center trim plate and the twin instrument cluster pods
a variety of trendy colors that go with your tastes. The similar
option is available for the shift knob boot and the parking
brake handle. The six-speed paddle shift can be provided with
automatic modes. The optional Bose audio system has got the
navigation with GPS, a steering-wheel-mounted audio controls and
an in-dash six CD-changer. For more sporty drivers, it offers XM
Satellite Radio and Homelink too.
Considering its technical and aesthetic features, the Corvette
Z06 sports car can be rechristened as an 'Irresistible Corvette
Z06'.
