15  mpg‑US (16  L/100  km; 18  mpg‑imp ) / 25  mpg‑US
(1,394 kg)
(9.4  L/100  km; 30  mpg‑imp ) mpg (city/highway) of fuel
economy; the manual-transmission model gets 16 mpg‑US Chronology
(15  L/100  km; 19  mpg‑imp ) / 26  mpg‑US (9.0  L/100  km; Predecessor Chevrolet Corvette (C5)
31  mpg‑imp ) mpg of fuel economy.[4] The Corvette's Successor Chevrolet Corvette (C7)
manual transmission is fitted with Computer Aided Gear
Shifting (CAGS), obligating the driver to shift from 1st gear directly to the 4th gear when operating at
lower RPM. This boosts the EPA's derived fuel economy thus allowing the buyer to avoid paying the "gas
guzzler" tax. GM badges were added to the car in 2006.

Beginning with the 2008 model year, the Corvette received a new engine, the LS3. With displacement
increased to 6,162 cc (376.0 cu in; 6.2 L),[5] power was increased to 430 hp (321 kW) at 6,500 rpm and
424 lb⋅ft (575 N⋅m) of torque at 4,600 rpm, or 436 hp (325 kW) and 428 lb⋅ft (580 N⋅m) with the optional
vacuum actuated valve exhaust.[6] The previous Tremec T56 transmission on manual Corvettes was
replaced with a new version, the TR6060, in the 2008 model year.[7] Manual Corvette models now had
improved shift linkage; the automatic model was set up for quicker shifts, and (according to Chevrolet)
accelerates from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 4.0 seconds, faster than any other production automatic Corvette
model.[8] From 2008 onward, the steering was revised for improved feel and the wheels were updated to a
new five-spoke design.[8] The last Corvette C6, a white 427 convertible, was completed on February 28,
2013.[9]

Z06

The Z06 arrived as a 2006 model in the third quarter of 2005 and is
the lightest of all Corvette models. The Z06 was equipped with the
largest-displacement small-block engine ever produced, a new
7,011  cc (7.0  L; 427.8  cu  in) V8 engine codenamed the LS7. The
engine has a power output of 505 hp (512 PS; 377 kW) at 6,300 rpm
and 470 lb⋅ft (637 N⋅m) at 4,800 rpm of torque. Until the introduction
of LT6 engine in October 2021, LS7 was the most powerful
production naturally aspirated engine made by General Motors. In
addition to the larger displacement engine, the Corvette Z06 has a dry
sump oiling system, and connecting rods made out of titanium alloy.
The frame of the Z06 is constructed from aluminum, saving 136  lb
(62  kg) over the standard steel frame. Other weight saving measures
Corvette Z06 such as balsa wood/carbon fiber composite floors and a magnesium
alloy engine cradle were used. The Z06's body differentiates itself
from the standard Corvette with its larger front and rear fenders and an
intake inlet scoop on the front bumper. The front fenders are
constructed with carbon fiber and the rear fenders contain ducts to aid
in cooling the rear brakes. The Z06 weighed 3,130 lb (1,420 kg),[10]
giving it a weight to power ratio of 6.2 pounds per horsepower
(3.8  kg/kW), allowing it to achieve a fuel economy of 15  mpg‑US
The 7.0 L LS7 V8 engine
(16 L/100 km; 18 mpg‑imp ) in the city and 24 mpg‑US (9.8 L/100 km;
29 mpg‑imp ) on the highway.[11] The Z06 was the official pace car for
both the 2006 Daytona 500 and the Indianapolis 500 race. Car and Driver recorded a 0-60 mph (97 km/h)
acceleration time of 3.6 seconds and 1/4 mile in 11.7 seconds at 125 mph (201 km/h) in October 2005. The
Z06 contains the following enhancements over the standard C6 Corvette:

Hand-built LS7 V8 with dry sump oiling system

Aluminum chassis with fixed roof
Larger/stiffer anti-sway bars
Stiffer springs and shocks
Larger rear spoiler and front splitter
Transmission cooler
Unique front fascia with intake inlet
Wider carbon fiber front and fiberglass rear fenders
Functional front and rear brake ducts for added brake system cooling
Unique light weight forged aluminum 18-inch front and 19-inch rear wheels; painted finish
standard and chromed finish optional
Wider 275/35ZR18 tires in the front and wider 325/30ZR19 tires in the rear
Larger 6-piston front and 4-piston rear calipers, including cross-drilled 355 mm (14.0 in) front
rotors and 340 mm (13 in) rear rotors
Optional 1LZ, 2LZ, and 3LZ trim packages.
For the 2011 model year, the Z06 carbon edition was introduced, which carries over multiple parts from the
high performance ZR1 including carbon ceramic brakes, active suspension, and other carbon fiber
aerodynamic pieces. Only 500 were planned for production and actual production numbers were much
lower, in total only about 250 were made. The 250 were optioned the same but did not have the carbon
hood. In 2012 and 2013, these options could be ordered through the Z07 package on the Z06.[12]

ZR1

The ZR1 is the high performance variant of the Z06 and was first
reported by several print and online publications, based on rumors that
General Motors was developing a production version of the Corvette
above the Z06 level under the internal code name Blue Devil (named
after CEO Rick Wagoner's alma mater, Duke University). The car was
originally rumored to feature a supercharged LS9 engine having a
power output of more than 630 hp (639 PS; 470 kW).[13]

The October 12, 2006 issue of AutoWeek published photos by

photographer Chris Doane of a C6 Z06 with special auto-
manufacturer-issued license plates with a hood bulge, widely thought
to confirm the presence of a supercharger on the Blue Devil. Other
names attached to the project included Corvette SS, after the late '50
Corvette ZR1 racing car,[14] and Corvette Z07.[15] In February 2007, a worker at a
Michigan shipping company posted pictures online of a powertrain
development mule that was being shipped to Germany, believed to be
part of the Blue Devil program. The car had manufacturer's license plates, carbon-ceramic disc brakes,
enlarged fender vents, a hood bulge, and an engine with a positive-displacement supercharger in the valley
between the cylinder banks and a water-to-air intercooler atop it.
GM began to release details on the Blue
Devil project in April 2007. The company confirmed the existence of the project in an interview with Car
and Driver on April 13. Engine power levels were confirmed to be between 600 and 700 horsepower (447
and 522  kW), but contrary to prior rumors of a supercharged 6.2 liter engine, the engine was only
confirmed to have greater displacement than the 7.0 liter LS7 in the Z06.[16] Motor Trend confirmed the
official name for the production version of the Blue Devil, resurrecting the old ZR1 nameplate. The ZR1
had originally been used on developmental cars in 1971, and again as ZR-1 as the top of the line variant of
the C4 Corvette.[17] General Motors officially introduced the Corvette ZR1 on December 19, giving a
press release and photographs of the car. GM confirmed a supercharged 6.2  L LS9 V8 having a power
output of 638 hp (647 PS; 476 kW) at 6,500 rpm and 604 lb⋅ft (819 N⋅m) of torque at 3,800 rpm. A test of
the ZR1 on the German autobahn revealed a top speed of 192 mph (309 km/h), although the manufacturer
claims the car is engineered to attain speeds up to 205 mph (330 km/h).[18]

Carbon fiber is used on the roof, hood, fenders, front splitter, and rocker moldings; the hood and fenders are
painted over, while the roof and splitter are merely covered in a clear-coat, retaining their original black
color. A polycarbonate window is placed in the center of the hood, allowing the engine intercooler to be
seen from the exterior. The wheels were the largest ever placed on a production Corvette, with both front
and rear wheels increasing in size and diameter over the Z06. Carbon-ceramic brakes are included. The
brake calipers are painted blue, as are the engine intercooler trim and the ZR1 logo. Magnetic Selective
Ride Control was also included on the car, with sensors to automatically adjust stiffness levels based on
road conditions and vehicle movement.[19]

Grand Sport
The 2010 Grand Sport was unveiled at the 12th annual C5/C6
Corvette Birthday Bash, held at the National Corvette Museum.[20]
The Grand Sport replaces the previous Z51 option. The GS or
Grand Sport was equipped with the following enhancements:

Specific manual transmission with different gear ratios

Corvette Grand Sport Convertible
Larger/stiffer anti-sway bars
Stiffer springs
Revised shocks
Larger Z06 rear spoiler
Transmission cooler
Functional front and rear brake ducts for added brake system cooling
Unique light weight forged aluminum 18-inch front and 19-inch rear wheels (painted finish
standard and chromed finish optional)
Z06 brakes, including cross-drilled 355 mm (14.0 in) front rotors and 340 mm (13 in) rear
rotors
Specific rear axle ratio on automatic transmission equipped models
Optional 1LT, 2LT, 3LT and 4LT trim packages.
Wider front and rear fenders with integrated Grand Sport badges
Wider 275/35ZR18 tires in the front
Wider 325/30ZR19 tires in the rear
6-piston front calipers and 4-piston rear calipers
Dry-sump oil system (manual transmission coupes only)
Hand-built LS3 6.2 L V8 (manual transmission coupes only)
launch control (manual only)

Limited editions

Ron Fellows ALMS GT1 Championship Edition (2007)

The Ron Fellows ALMS GT1 Championship Edition is a special edition of the Corvette Z06 developed to
commemorate the victory of the Corvette racing team driver Ron Fellows at the 2007 ALMS GT1
championship. Notable exterior features include special Arctic White paint, red grand sport style stripes on
the front fenders and red and silver hash styled stripes incorporating a maple leaf similar to the livery
present on the winning car. The interior had a red interior and complemented accenting on the seats,
console and door panels. The arm rest features Ron Fellows' signature. Only 399 were made with 33
destined to the Canadian market.[22]

ZHZ (2008)

The ZHZ was a standard Corvette equipped with the LS3 engine,
6-speed automatic transmission, vacuum actuated valve exhaust,
F55 suspension and unique 7-spoke chrome wheels. It was
developed for The Hertz Corporation's Fun Collection for 2008.
150 targa tops in 2008 and 350 convertibles were produced in 2009
in total.[23] All cars were finished in yellow with a broad black
stripe along the hood and roof.[24]

Chevrolet Corvette ZHZ

GT1 Championship Edition (2009)

The GT1 Championship Edition is an optional package for the C6 that was unveiled in the 2009 New York
Auto Show.[25] It celebrates the Corvette C6.R's entry into the GT1 class of ALMS in 2009. This limited
edition is based on either a 4LT equipped targa top, 4LT convertible or high performance Z06. Models
wear the same velocity yellow "45U" body hue that adorns the C6.R or "41U" gloss black, along with a
"Jake" graphic that spans the Championship edition's hood. Chrome wheels known as Gumby's are present
on the targa top and convertible while the Z06 is fitted with chrome Spyder wheels. A body-colored spoiler
shared with the ZR1 joins a "carbon pattern" engine cover, while a leather-wrapped ebony interior contains
"GT1" embroidered on the head rests of the seats, the instrument panel and a center console armrest. Non-
Z06 models also include a Z51 Performance Package and NPP Performance exhaust.

Original production numbers were slated to be 100 units of each model in each color (600 total), each
carrying a premium over the standard models. But actual numbers amounted to 125 units in various
numbers for each color code. This was due to the government takeover of General Motors.

Z06 Carbon Limited Edition (2011)

The Z06 Carbon Limited Edition was available as a 2011 model beginning in the summer of 2010.[26] The
car was available in two colors: Inferno Orange and an all-new Supersonic Blue. On the exterior, the car
had black headlamps and mirrors, a ZR1-style spoiler, carbon fiber hood, and black carbon fiber rockers
and splitter. Inside, the Z06 Carbon has ebony leather and suede seats with body color-matching stitching.
Other improvements include Magnetic Selective Ride Control, a special carbon engine cover, 20-spoke
black 19-inch front/20-inch rear wheels, and ZR1's carbon ceramic Brembo brakes. Although Chevrolet
planned to sell 500 of the Z06 Carbon Limited Edition, only 252 units were produced.[27]

Centennial Edition (2012)

Order code "ZLC" was an equipment package celebrating 100 years of racing heritage of Chevrolet.
Offered exclusively in Carbon Flash Metallic, the Centennial Edition kit includes satin-black graphics and
unique lightweight cast-spun aluminum Centennial Satin Black wheels that feature a thin red perimeter
outline (on Z06 and ZR1 cars). All cars came with red brake calipers and featured Magnetic Selective Ride
Control.

Inside, the car featured ebony leather upholstery and contrast stitching while the steering wheel and
armrests featured microfiber suede accents. The headrests have an embossed Centennial Edition logo and
the steering wheel hub carries the same "Louis Chevrolet 100" graphic found on the car's B-pillar and
wheel center caps.

Cadillac XLR
The Cadillac XLR is a luxury roadster that was marketed by
Cadillac from 2004 to 2009 model years.[28] Assembled in
Bowling Green, Kentucky, the XLR was based on the Chevrolet
Corvette's Y platform. Designed to be a grand touring offering, the
XLR featured different exterior and interior design, standard
Cadillac XLR
adaptive suspension system, a 4.6-liter Northstar V8 engine, and a
power-retractable aluminum hardtop.[29]

Concept cars

Z06X
The Z06X was designed to be a factory built road race car similar
to cars like the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup and Dodge Viper ACR-X.
The concept car was built by GM with the help of Pratt & Miller
Engineering. The Z06X features racecar components such as:
carbon fiber adjustable rear wing, carbon fiber front splitter, full roll
cage, fire suppression system, race seat, harness, carbon ceramic
brakes, upgraded cooling system, polycarbonate rear window,
adjustable coilovers, adjustable sway bars, and tow hooks; the
radio, interior carpeting and sound-deadening materials have been
removed.[30] The suspension system was designed and supplied by 2010 Chevrolet Corvette Z06X
Pfadt Race Engineering.[31]

Racing

C6.R

The C6.R was a replacement for the C5-R, built by Pratt & Miller,
and unveiled for its first competition at the 2005 12 Hours of
Sebring endurance race of the American Le Mans Series. It came in
second and third in its class, just behind the new Aston Martin
DBR9 race car. It was put on display a week later at the New York
International Auto Show next to the Z06.

In 2006, the Corvette C6.R won both American Le Mans GT1

Championships: Teams and Manufacturers. On March 17, 2007 it
Corvette C6.R
won the GT1 class in the 12 Hours of Sebring.

For Le Mans 2007, four C6.R's were on the entry list, the two
Corvette Racing entries joined by single entries from the Luc Alphand Aventures and PSI-Motorsport
teams.

The heart of the C6.R, its LS7.R motor, was crowned as Global Motorsport Engine of the Year by a jury of
50 race engine engineers on the Professional Motorsport World Expo 2006 in Cologne, Germany.

As the GT1 class dwindled, Corvette Racing switched to the GT2 class during the 2009 ALMS season.

For 2011, the aerodynamics of the ALMS cars were modified to be similar to the ZR1. This car has since
won the 2011 24 Hours of Le Mans in the GTE-Pro and GTE-Am classes. In 2012, the Corvette C6.R
won again in the GTE-Am category.

In addition to the American Le Mans Series, Corvette C6.Rs also race in the FIA GT1 World
Championship. The GT1 cars are given more power and have less aerodynamics restrictions than the Le
Mans cars, which follow GT2 regulations.

Riley GT

Riley Technologies built a GT2-class Chevrolet Corvette for the 2008 American Le Mans Series. The car
also raced at the 2009 Petit Le Mans, where it beat both Pratt & Miller-built factory cars in qualifying.
Z06-R

Entered in the FIA GT3 European Championship series as a GT3

class car, the Z06-R is a modified production Z06. Changes were
necessary to make the car endurance race ready. These include a
stripped interior, full rollcage for safety, center-locking wheels,
carbon fiber doors, rear deck spoiler and front splitter. The LS7 and
LS3-engine and drivetrain are built by APP Racing Engines from
the Netherlands. The car is not road legal.
Corvette Z06-R GT3
Eight Z06-R were constructed by Callaway Competition
GmbH[32] in Leingarten, Germany, for the 2006 season. The
French team Riverside campaigned a three car team.[33] In an
effort to achieve parity among the disparate participants of the GT3 Series, three forms of handicapping
were applied by the FIA regulators: additional vehicle weight, ride height, and tire compound selection.
The Corvettes were raced with all three handicaps employed. The Z06R won the FIA GT3 European
Championship in its second year of entry.[34] By 2011, all Z06-R teams discontinued their racing efforts in
GT3, ending the car's FIA career. Z06-Rs are also campaigned in national championships.
