2008 Z06 Limited
Edition 427 Stinger
 
Beginning this
spring, those of you with enough coin in your Corvette-shaped
piggy bank can order the 2008 Corvette 427 Limited Edition Z06.
The special edition C6 comes with with Crystal Red Tintcoat, new
exclusive wheels, a titanium-colored leather interior,
427-embroidered seats and floor mats, and Z06 sill plates.
Pedestrians will know how special your car is when they see the
"427" badges and graphics adorning the exterior. Inside,
Wil Cooksey, the soon-to-retire Bowling
Green Corvette plant manager of 15 years, will personally sign
each model's armrest.
Chevy will only build 427 of the cars for the North American
market and another 78 for everyone else, for a total run of only
505. That is, not coincidentally, the horsepower rating of this
American sports car. Buyers will have to come up with $84,195 to
park one in their garage -- about a $13,000 premium over the
mass-production Z06.

2011 Z06
Carbon
For the truly
hard-core Corvette fanatic who likes to spend weekends thrashing
his or her car at the track, there is only one Corvette worthy
of consideration: the Z06. However, thanks to the ZR1, the
lightweight, normally aspirated 7.0-liter coupe is no longer the
absolute quickest Vette, but it is felt to have the most
responsive handling. What it doesn't have is the uber-cool
carbon-ceramic brakes, carbon-fiber body panels and magnetic
ride active damping system of its supercharged sibling. That can
now be changed to past tense with the birth of the Z06 Carbon
edition announced today by General Motors.
The Z06 Carbon was created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of
the first appearance of the Corvette at the 24 Hours of Le Mans
when John Fitch and Briggs Cunningham won their class and
finished eighth overall. The Carbon edition is essentially a Z06
with a ZR1 chassis and some of the carbon skin. When production
starts this fall, only 500 examples will be made and they will
only come in two colors, Inferno Orange and Supersonic Blue. All
examples get black-painted wheels and a black interior
upholstered in leather and suede. Follow the jump and we'll tell
you more.
