2003 Chevrolet Corvette Z06

Description

With just a little over 31,000 miles in its rearview mirror - just enough to be fully broken in and running at its best - this 2003 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is an outstanding representative of Chevy's great American sports car in ultra-sharp, fifth generation form. Armed with plenty of performance in addition to its undeniable great looks, it has received a couple of well-chosen upgrades, as well as some recent maintenance to provide miles of carefree driving for its next lucky owner.

This Z06's exterior is draped in high-impact Torch red that really accentuates its form. The years have been good to it - take a lap around the car and you won't find any issues to diminish your enthusiasm. The panels still line up nicely and there are no obvious dings or blemishes. From all indications, it's been well cared for and has seen plenty of shelter over its lifetime - the paint still shows consistent coloring and has a deep shine from front to back.

Corvettes have always been known for their driver-centric interiors and the one on this '03 represents itself well. It remains in stock condition and still looks fresh, with a pair of high-backed, bolstered bucket seats to hold you in place during spirited corner carving. There's a nice assembly of comfort and convenience features on board here, including a driver-side power bucket seat that has its own memory system, power windows, door locks and mirrors, cruise control, rear window defogger and an AM/FM/CD stereo. The air conditioning system is in great shape and is very much up to the task of keeping you nice and cold during hotter months. The featured Heads-Up display - one of Chevy's more inspired innovations - is in good working order, ready to project your motoring vitals onto the lower portion of the windshield so you never have to take your eyes off the road. Airbags on both the driver and passenger sides provide collision protection, and an anti-theft system helps ensure this fine-looking ride never leaves your possession.

There's plenty of power lurking under the hood in the form of a fuel injected 5.7-liter LS6 V8 that Chevy reserved for Z06s like this one. It made 405 horsepower upon leaving the factory and, with both a Halltech intake manifold and stainless steel catback exhaust added, the go-power only increases from there. Considering this car only weighs about 3100lbs., you can easily imagine the acceleration it's capable of. The engine teams with a 6-speed manual transmission that's in great form, offering nice, precise shifts to take full advantage of the power that will be at your disposal. When it comes time to bring this Chevy to a stop, its 4-wheel power disc brakes were treated to new rotors and pads recently, and they're equipped with excellent fade resistance, thanks to functional cooling ducts located just in front of the rear wheels. This iconic American sports car roams the asphalt on a set of fresh-looking Continental tires that appear to have plenty of tread left and feature stout 285s in back for a firm grip on the asphalt.

Looking and running great, this 2003 Chevrolet Corvette would be a fine addition to any performance enthusiast's garage. Call today!
