Auto Parts From Partstrain

With 500 horsepower, GM says the 2006 Corvette Z06 is the
fastest, most powerful car ever offered by the automaker. The car
can zip from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than four seconds and
fly through the quarter-mile in less than 12 seconds with a top
speed of more than 190 mph on a racetrack.

"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.

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.
