Corvette Coupe 5.7 Commemorative manual

The fastest, most technologically advanced model in the then over 50-year history of the Corvette was the so-called C6 Z06 with 512 hp. It was the successor to the C5 Z06 Corvette and was developed in parallel with the racing car C6.R. There were some differences between the Z06 and the standard C6 Corvette: Among other things, a 7.0-liter LS7 V8 aluminum engine with sodium-filled exhaust valves and titanium connecting rods, wider fenders, and an aluminum frame were used. The Z06 is designed for performance, low weight, and high body stiffness. A C6 Z06 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds, and from 0 to 200 km/h in just 11.9 seconds. The top speed is 320 km/h.
