2002 Chevrolet Corvette

For sale at Gateway Classic Cars in our St. Louis showroom is a 2002 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. This beautiful Z06 is painted in black and is nicely complimented by a set of aftermarket C6 Z06 black wheels with a thin red pin stripe. The black and red two-tone leather interior also work perfectly with the exterior. Powering this high-performance machine is an all-aluminum 5.7 liter V8 that goes by the name, LS6. Many will recall the LS-6 from the muscle car era that powered Chevelles and Corvettes. These were some of the most powerful engines offered in 1970-1971. GM had to make sure that the new LS6 would live up to its reputation. In doing so GM gave the new LS6 a high lift camshaft and a redline that goes up to 6,500 rpm vs. the 6,000 rpm redline for the standard Corvette. The 2002 Z06 vs. the 2001 and older Z06 had thinner windshields to save weight, the intake and exhaust valves were redesigned for weight saving measures by actually hollowing them out and filling them with liquid alloy, the camshaft had added lift and was the highest lift ever for a production Chevrolet small block. With these upgrades, the 2002 Corvette Z06 produced an additional 20 horsepower and 15 additional lbs./ft. of torque. This will propel the Corvette to 60 mph in the low 4 second range and the quarter mile in also in the low 12 second range at over 110 miles per hour! All this performance and it is still able to net you 28 miles per gallon while on the highway. This would of course require you to resist smashing the go pedal. With the Z06 package, you received suspension tuning, one inch wider wheels for the front and rear, titanium exhaust that saved 19 pounds form the stainless steel that was used on the standard model and brake ducting for both the front and rear brakes. This example has covered 34,003 miles. Usual Corvette equipment for this Z06; Power windows, Power locks, Cruise control, tilt steering column, AM/FM stereo with CD player, Traction control, Anti-lock brakes, leather seats and dual airbags.
