With a 0-to-60-mph time of 3.4 seconds, an 11.7-second quarter-mile at 125 mph, a 198-mph top speed, reasonable fuel economy, and more cargo space, the Corvette Z06 is more of a miracle car than virtually anything else on the road today.
The Chevrolet Corvette 427 Limited Edition Z06 is a special-edition car meant to honor the fabled 427. Like every other special-edition Vette in recent years, this is really only a trim package with a unique color—in this case, Crystal Red Tintcoat—and wheels.
Corvette Z06 427 Limited Edition
The 60's gave rise to many great memories. One of them is undoubtedly the ‘big-block' Corvette Stingray. With the introduction of the Corvette 427 Limited Edition Z06, Corvette is also awakening memories – in an exclusive way. It is building 505 of these limited edition vehicles, of which only 52 will be coming to Europe .
The number 427 refers to the cylinder capacity in the American unit of measurement, cubic inches. In the years 1966 to ‘69, the most powerful Corvette engines had this capacity – also the cubic inches equivalent to the 7.0 litre LS7 ‘small block' in the current Z06.
The special limited edition of the Z06 is characterised by a number of unique 427 styling features, such as the Crystal Red Tintcoat metallic paint with ‘stinger style' graphics, exclusive chromed rims, a leather interior with embroidered 427 logo on the seats and floor mats, ‘Z06' inscription in the sill strips, and a centre armrest with serial number and signature by Corvette factory director Wil Cooksey.
