2019 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 2LZ

Description

Now is the time to get your hands on a supercar that is not only amazing looking but performing. This 2019 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is a 650-horsepower juggernaut from the final year of the front-engine Corvette. Not only do we know this sinisterly dark machine has an instant classic status, but it also has the low mileage and super-sleek appearance of a terrific show/collector machine.

There's something quite menacing about this coupe. After all, the Z06 gives the C7 Corvette a total dark-side makeover with a complete aerodynamic body kit that includes a low front spoiler, fender flares, side ground effects, and a race-inspired adjustable rear spoiler. The darkness continues with the heat-extractor hood, a wider grille, and plenty of black vents that highlight the special wider body. And a car like this looks particularly nice with the optional black finish wheels. While the well-coordinated black catches your eye, it also helps to highlight some of the brighter Z06 special features like the large quad exhaust tips, clear taillight package, and big brake package now with red calipers. But while all of this is intimidatingly aggressive, what makes this specific one truly ominous is the devilishly tempting sophistication added into the mix. It comes from the factory Admiral Blue paint. It's a deep color that goes well with the aggressive black elements, and it's also a hue that Cadillac still uses a version today. So on such a low-mileage and well-kept car, it's modern, sleek, menacing, and premium - all at first glance.

The exterior introduces the idea of adding a premium to your performance, and the interior ensures it delivers it in spades. The two-tone gray and black are thoughtfully intertwined, right down to the contrast stitching on the seats, shifter, dash, and steering wheel. And speaking of the steering wheel, this immediately engages your enthusiast side with its flat-bottom design, carbon fiber trim, and paddle shifters. Just ahead of that are your gauges and a display screen that you can choose to highlight everything from your exact speed to the g-force of the corners. There's a head-up display, so you never have to take your eyes off the road. The seats have a race-inspired construction that loves to hug your body in the turns. But these leather-lined buckets also coddle you with heat, ventilation, and full power adjustment. It's all part of the 2LZ premium packaging of this coupe. You know how new this car is, and it has all the best in modern convenience, including power windows, power locks, keyless entry/ignition, dual airbags, side airbags, and cruise control. The touchscreen infotainment system is filled with options, including satellite navigation, Bluetooth, satellite radio, a backup camera, front/curb cameras, and a premium Bose audio system. There's even a hidden cubby behind it with USB to connect your smartphone (this comes with the owner's manual packet, so all the technology is explained.) In the grand tradition of Corvettes, you get an open-roof experience with the targa top. Plus, the modern dual-zone climate control means you and your passenger can keep an individual level cool even with the windows down and the roof out.

This one is attractive inside and out, but what's under the hood should excite you. The engine bay is packed with 6.2 liters of supercharged V8 power. The 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque make this more potent than the previous generation ZR1, and it only gets better when you take this one out on the street or track. The exterior looks like this were built for speed, and the drivetrain delivers. The eight-speed automatic transmission is designed to be an excellent overdrive cruiser for when you want it, and the paddle shifting option is there to shift faster than a manual gearbox when you need it. Magnetic ride control means the suspension can handle everyday commuting, and with the turn of a knob, it can become a track-focused machine that sticks better than glue. This is a complete setup down to the performance four-wheel disc brake package and Michelin performance tires.

As much as we love to mention how sinister this looks and how excellent a track car is, there aren't any signs this ever turned a wheel in anger. That comes from being a particular supercharged version of the last of the front-engine Corvettes. So if you're looking for a modern classic in collector condition, don't miss this Z06. Call now!
