2002 Chevrolet Corvette Description

The C5 revived the Z06 name after more than four decades, and just like its predecessors, this was all about awakening the beast. Adding power and saving weight, this 2002 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 was the quickest 'Vette to date. So when you can find one in such good care and low mileage, this 400+ hp speed machine is huge deal at such an affordable price.We all know the legend of the Z06 by now. Chevy started with their lightest and strongest Corvette configuration, the FRC (Fixed Roof Coupe). Then they shed weight wherever they could, even including utilizing a thinner windshield. The result was the leanest and meanest Corvette to hit the streets. But that might not even be your first impression of this one. That's because the Electron Blue looks stunning. We love the red and black 'Vettes, but this hue is an intoxicating mix of electricity and sophistication. Of course, what helps keeps this factory-applied blue looking great is low mileage and careful ownership (there's actually a clear protection film on the front and rear defending it from the hazards of the road.) All the details are right, too, with the correct Z06 badging and cooling duct under each door. And while the Corvette's body has graduated into a sleek, modern age, America's sports car still has room for chrome on the mirror-like double-five spoke special Z06 alloy wheels.Inside is exactly what you expect from a special Corvette a loaded interior that's comfortable for two. The black leather buckets mach the dark interior, and the special red Z06 stitching reminds you this coupe is out for blood. Low mileage means little seat time, so everything is in top condition. You'll never get tired of watching the gauges do their dance every time you start the engine, but the head-up display means you never have to take your eyes off the road during performance driving. But more than just track-focused, this car offers plenty of luxuries, such as dual zone climate control, power steering, power windows, power locks, keyless entry, power mirrors, power seats, cruise control, and a Bose AM/FM/CD stereo system. Because this is a modern classic, it also means modern safety features such as dual airbags and anti-lock brakes. Plus, the FRC style body has a trunk that can truly carry a weekend's worth of luggage (including your racing suit and helmet.)While 2001 was the first year of the Z06's rebirth, enthusiasts know to wait for the 2002 model. That's because Chevrolet upped the 5.7-liter LS6 from 380 horsepower to 405. This kind of significance really makes you happy to tilt the hood forward and see the original numbers-matching V8 proudly sitting in the engine bay it's all looking great, right down to the bold red covers. And while this all looks factory-fresh, this Z06 hides a secret. Keen eyes might be able to spot the new headers and a free-flowing catalytic converter setup from Random Technologies. That gives this Z06 a deeper growl and fiercer bite than even the other Z06s out there it's a true standout among standouts. And you have complete control over all the sound and fury the V8 brings thanks to the six-speed manual transmission. As a true competition machine, this also received its own suspension upgrade package to make the fully independent suspension perform at its best during high speeds. And keeping everything in control is also the large four-wheel disc brake package and Michelin Pilot Sport rubber.Complete with owner's manual, this special 'Vette has been treated with distinction from day one. So such a nice price on an instant classic like this will not last long. Call today!!
