2016 Chevrolet Corvette Z51 Supercharged

Description

Imagine the exhilarating feeling that can only come from climbing behind the wheel of one of the most powerful American production cars on the road. This 2016 Chevrolet Corvette Supercharged Z51 can provide exactly that. Having logged only a touch over 35K miles it's relatively low-travelled for a sports car this fun to drive, and by every measure it's an absolute scorcher - offering adrenaline-inducing acceleration and handling that puts it in very select company. With a built 6.2L Supercharged V8 full of a host of upgrades, the drivetrain is capable of 775HP and break-neck responsiveness on road and track alike, paring with the modern marvels of a floppy-paddle 8-speed automatic transmission and Magnetic Ride Control via the Z51 package. Clean as can be with enough power for two sports cars, this C7 Stingray represents one of the best 'bang-for-your-buck' vehicles you'll ever come across, so read fast before anyone else gets wise.

The notion that you're casting eyes on a very special car will appear right away - even in the exalted company of modern Corvettes this one will readily stand out, and you'll want to immediately take a closer look at this stunner to fully appreciate the showroom condition that it's in. Its Daytona Sunrise Orange Metallic exterior is a bit of a mouthful to say, and even more sensory arousing once you see it dance with the lights in our showroom. Even 5 years later the design seems futuristic, with homage-setting Mako Shark concepts seen throughout, working hard to shed its former image as the 'old man's toy'. The C7 worked to appeal to a younger crowd with features like the carbon fiber hood and Transformer's style scoop, an aggressive chin spoiler and matching ground effects, a removeable roof panel, dynamic fenders and quarters made from composite materials, and the uber-aggressive rear end with Z51 spoiler and quad exhaust pipes. Everywhere you look you can see that this Stingray was sculpted inside a wind tunnel, with all kinds of interesting angles, inductions, and grooves that accentuate the insanely exciting lines of this gorgeous beast. That distinctive bright orange paint is still looking its best and black carbon fiber accents provide just the right amount of contrast, punctuated by the oversized chrome wheels. Its removeable black-tinted top is a nod to its third-generation predecessors, the first of the model to emerge from the assembly line in this configuration, instantly transforming the car into a completely different car. It's a feature that's proven immensely popular over the years, offering all the exhilaration of open-air motoring with the shelter of the snug fitting top just a couple of steps away.

The black leather interior waiting inside the doors is about as clean as interiors come - this Vette's light usage and single owner has definitely paid some dividends here. This is an unusually comfortable driving environment for any car, let alone one that offers the world class performance that this C7 does. The steering column both tilts and telescopes and the ultra-clean and distinctive leather buckets glide smoothly into place to provide just the right comfortable driving position and there's a surprising amount of shoulder room inside - far more than many of the Vette's exotic competitors. The air conditioning is working at full force for maximum comfort and the featured navigation system will point you exactly to where you're going - and no doubt you'll be able to get there at warp speed. There'll certainly be no shortage of audio options, either - the AM/FM/DVD stereo also features satellite and Bluetooth connectivity, along with a back-up camera that runs through the same media center. A host of digital gauges keeps an eye on the motor and all of its upgrades, and the center console houses the shifter for the 8-speed automatic transmission which can also be managed via the paddle-shifters behind the steering wheel. And as you might expect, everything inside is incredibly clean and barely shows any use, including the storage area under the lift-up hatch out back.

Chevy has gone to great lengths over the decades to arm its Corvettes with world class powerplants, but the upgrades made by the pros at MTI Racing is extensive, lifting the 6.2L Supercharged V8 motor to heights even the Z06 can't reach. That big supercharger is an A&A system capable of 775HP, and although we don't have the space to list the myriad of MTI upgrades, the highlights include a C7 Supercharged head/cam package, ported heads, a custom billet camshaft kit, LS7 lifters, and a custom engine program and tune just to name a few. In fact, when you have a spare 15 minutes, give us a call and we'll be happy to go down the laundry list of features, although you might need an engineering degree to fully understand it all the GO-FAST-GOODIES inside. Equipped with oversized power 4-wheel disc brakes, responsive power steering, and the aforementioned Magnetic Ride Control and Z51 package, the car stops on a dime and hits the corners better than any Corvette before it. It's downright biblical, and only the mid-engine C8 can rival it. Chrome wheels - 19" in front and 20" in back and wrapped with Michelin tires - finish this extraordinary car off in just the right fashion.

True super car performance is hard to come by and certainly far harder without paying a king's ransom, and yet that's what this upgraded 2016 Chevrolet Corvette Supercharged Z51 offers. Call today!
