2004 is the last year for C5 and Chevrolet introduced the Commemorative Edition Corvettes to say goodbye to the C5. The Z06 received a new carbon fiber hood that is 10.6 pound less than the fiberglass part. All the commemorative editions received a new Le Mans Blue paint and shale interior. Embroidery on the headrests of each seat also identify the commemorative editions. The Z06 also received silver and red graphics on the hood roof and tail. The Z06 also received suspension tuning that allowed it to run the challenging 14 mile long NURBURGRING track in under 8 minutes.
COURTESY OF MOTOR TREND MAGAZINE:
There’s one bit of CE hardware-related news: The ’04 Z06 gets a race-inspired option in the form of a lightweight carbon-fiber hood that weighs just 20.5 pounds–10.6 less than the standard unit. This hood is constructed of unique, single-direction fibers intended to eliminate waviness, a trait common on painted carbon fiber. Atop the paint are silver stripes with red edges, similar to the stripe package used as a Le Mans-only aesthetic on the C5-R race cars (GM won’t run these stripes at the rest of the American Le Mans race series events). GM says this is the first time carbon fiber has been used for a major body panel in a mass-production vehicle. “We definitely have technology transfer from [C5-R] racing to production with the example of putting carbon fiber into a series production street car that people can afford,” notes Corvette Chief Engineer Dave Hill.
Apart from the Commemorative package for ’04, the Z06 receives specific chassis tuning upgrades intended to deliver increased performance and more vehicle control–all with a smoother ride around town. Considerable attention was paid to refinement of the Sachs’ shock valving in order to diminish the impact of yaw and roll, particularly in a series of tight corners. Ride/Handling Chassis Engineer Michael Neal states, “We reshaped the force-velocity curve to give more control, but not at the expense of ride. What the customer feels, particularly on a racetrack, is a more poised car. He doesn’t have to wait for body roll to settle during transient maneuvers, so he can be aggressive hustling from one corner to another, particularly as they come in quicker succession.” Added to the handling mix are stiffer upper control-arm bushings teamed with slightly softer rear anti-roll bar bushings to deliver flatter handling and more stability going into the corner, thus minimizing oversteer on corner exit. “If you want to fix oversteer at the back, you first need to fix it at the front of the corner,” says Neal. Specifically, deterring oversteer requires generating a smoother entry, which, in the case of the ’04 Z06, is noticeably easier compared with the ’03 model.
The chassis refinements and reduced vehicle weight have paid off, as the ’04 Z06 recently joined the ranks of the select few volume-production vehicles to have broken the eight-minute barrier for lap times at the 170-turn, 14-mile-long Nurburgring circuit in Germany, where Team Corvette performs development testing. This is a worthy accomplishment, considering that the exact same vehicle can then be driven cross-country in air-conditioned comfort, backed by a factory warranty.
Hill’s goal for the ’04 Z06 was “to make it the quickest Corvette ever produced,” sending the C5 out with a bang. That it is, and that he has.
Next were some hot laps in an ’04 Z06. Although it had been a few years since Fellows aggressively hustled a street car around a racetrack, his extensive experience in showroom-stock racing quickly emerged. With 405 horsepower delivered from the 5.7-liter LS6 V-8, the Z06 has the torque to easily overpower the Goodyear street tires. So Fellows maintained a keen focus on cornering smoothness.
“I was surprised by the general balance,” notes Fellows. On his third lap, he turned in an impressive 1:33.9-second time, proving the fortitude of the street-legal Z06 package.
“To really get an appreciation of what this thing’s capable of, you need a racing seat. I found myself being tossed around quite a bit–the cornering capabilities are that good.”–J.K.
