Default 7800 mile cammed R8C Z06 FS in Houston.

I am the original owner and only driver of the car since I picked it up at the Natl Corvette Museum in Nov, 2005. Watched it being built, and started it up on the assembly line!

With a small cam, (230/242 at .050 on a 114 LSA, .607/.620 lift ) it made 520 rwhp and trapped 130 mph in the 1/4 mile, yet it retains excellent driveability.

The one piece race seats I installed from 21CMC last year made a WORLD of difference. It's been in several magazine articles.

06 Z06 Machine Silver/Ebony
R8C Museum Delivery
2LZ (memory package, heated seats. side airbags, upgraded stereo)
Air Charger/Halltech filter/ mild cam/ported TB, ARH 1 7/8" headers, stock catback
LG exhaust switch on console (remotely opens baffles in stock mufflers)
One piece racing seats in matching black leather
CCW C14 wheels: 18x11 front/18x13 rear

With only 7800 miles, 900 of which were me breaking it in carefully on the way home from doing Museum Delivery, the car looks, smells, and drives like new....except faster...

It was featured in GMHTP magazine and Vette back in 2006:

It was later retuned at 21CMC and featured in Vette magazine:

Comes with stock seats (zero wear) and stock wheels/tires, plus full stock exhaust, and stock wheels/tires. Roof recall and axle shaft recalls done. Car needs nothing.

I never planned on selling it, but the itch for a 2011 Z07 is getting stronger.....

Asking $49,500 with all extras. Seats and wheels can be returned to stock if buyer prefers.

2011 Z07 is the Z06 with ZR1 upgrades. A lot like the Grand Sport is a base car with Z06 upgrades. The Z07 is essentially the New Z06 Carbon, but without the Carbon Special add ons, just the performance add ons like the brakes and suspension.

This Z06 has been well taken care of. If I had the money right now I would be all over this. This is a rare opportunity for someone to own a car from Sanjay's collection. Believe me he has a hard time letting them go.

Good luck buddy I know it will sell fast and I can't wait for the Z07 to come in.

Thanks man. I drove the old girl out to my folks place this weekend for Father's Day, and remembered how my dad and I picked it up at the NCM in 2005....good times.

Someone will be getting a Z that has always been cared for like a family member.

Yes, driveability is excellent. I cruise often at 1500 rpm in 6th gear, no problem.

It has a lope to it, but it's not like some of the crazy radical stuff I've seen in other Z06's, just to pick up another 20 hp at the top end. I wanted good driveability to be a priority, and the car still impresses me with its power and sound every time I drive it.

Flip the LG exhaust switch to the quiet mode, and the car cruises on the interstate with aplomb. Best of both worlds.

Sanjay,
no luck on links so a few questions please:

Where was the engine work done?
Any work on the heads?
Were there any accompanying work with the cam change ( valves, springs, etc)?
Anything done to the suspension?

Hey Ted!

Hmmmm....not sure why the links aren't up....let's try again:

http://www.gmhightechperformance.com...all/index.html

or....just google "sanjay Z06."

But, to answer your questions, the work was done at Horsepower engineering and then 21st Century Musclecars in Dallas. No headwork, stock valves with Patriot springs, and stock suspension aside from lowering and a performance alignment.
