"We buy
watches that cost thousands of dollars and don't tell time better
than a $20 Swatch," said Bob Lutz, vice chair of General Motors
Corporation. It’s the same thing with high-horsepower cars.
You don't move any faster in traffic than you do with a Chevy Aveo,
but it's all about knowing that you have all this power and potential
at your disposal." The car's body is made of aluminum, and
the front fenders and front wheelhouses are made of carbon fiber.
The Z06 also has a unique front fascia with a larger grille, cold-air
scoop and lower air splitter. The interior is different, too, with
a special gauge cluster featuring the Z06 logo on the tachometer
and lightweight two-tone seats.
Derived from
Chevy's successful Corvette racing program, the ZO6 has an all-new
chassis that replaces the conventional car's steel parts with lightweight
aluminum, magnesium and carbon fiber. The new LS7 7.0-liter OHV
(overhead valve) V-8 engine for the 2006 ZO6 Corvette will not only
achieve 500 horsepower, it will be capable of running up to 7100
rpm. The previous limit was 6600 rpm in the 6.0-liter LS2.

LS2. With this new engine, GM is
showing multi-valve overhead cam performance is achievable with
a two-valve cam-in-block engine. For the new ZO6, higher rpm allows
the driver to remain in first gear to just over 60 mph, contributes
to higher top speed and improves overall vehicle performance. The
LS7 is one of the first automotive OHV production engines in the
industry capable of more than 7000 rpm.
