2004 Chevrolet Corvette Description

Special editions are nothing new to Corvette fans, but this 2004 Corvette Z06 Commemorative Edition offers a lot more than special paint and graphics to go along with its limited production status (only 2025 were built). Starting with a burly 405 horsepower LS6, it's a near-seamless blend of awesome good looks and hardcore performance.The "fixed-roof coupe" was a late addition to the C5 lineup, ostensibly to provide a platform for the take-no-prisoners Z06 model. Lighter, stiffer, and stronger, it was the ultimate expression of Corvette performance. The Commemorative Edition celebrates back-to-back wins at Le Mans with special Le Mans Blue paint and graphics that emulate the C5R models that were used on the track. In short, it's tasteful and attention-grabbing without being over-wrought like some earlier special models. With 82,766 original miles, it has obviously been in the care of true Corvette enthusiasts since it was new because it looks more like 12,000 miles. Finish quality is extremely nice and all the Z06 details are there, including the mesh screens on the nose and the brake cooling ducts just ahead of the rear wheels. This is one Corvette that walks (relatively) softly and carries a big stick.The only interior you could get with a Z06 was black leather, but that's just fine with us since it looks so impressive. The Commemorative Editions received special embroidery on the headrests, but otherwise it was standard C5 fare, but that also means it's comfortable enough for cross-country travel and spacious enough for all your gear. Everything works as it should, including ice cold dual-zone A/C, power windows, locks, and driver's seat, and a replacement Pioneer AM/FM/CD stereo system (the factory head unit is included) feeding the original Bose speakers. There's minimal wear and certainly it's in line with the mileage, and the carpets have been protected from new by a set of matching black floor mats. The Z06 also offers a good-sized trunk that's fully lined in black carpet, meaning that you can use this Corvette like a real car should that be your intention. Experts will note that there's a bulkhead between the trunk and the passenger compartment, which is designed to keep the A/C up front where it belongs, a nice touch!The Z06's LS6 V8 made a very stout 405 horsepower in stock form, which was a pretty big number back in 2004. The LS6 is easily identified by its bright red coil covers, and while the C5 was insanely easy to modify, this one appears to be almost entirely stock. Stock performance cars are usually well-maintained and not abused, with this one being no exception. It starts quickly, idles smoothly, and pulls hard, and everything works as it should. Again, careful maintenance means that the engine bay looks almost new and it's worth noting that these cars wear the first mass-produced carbon-fiber hood to shave pounds. The standard 6-speed manual transmission shifts crisply in the heat of battle and the stock exhaust is made of titanium, so no need for an upgrade there. Beautiful chrome Z06 wheels look fantastic against the LeMans Blue paint and carry stock-sized 245/45/17 front and 275/40/18 rear Michelin radials with fewer than 250 miles on them.A very impressive machine with all-around performance, this is a rare and civilized Corvette at a very reasonable price.
