What is the correct stock idle speed for a C6 Z06
 
What is the correct stock idle speed for a C6 Z06? I drove a 2010 Z06 today that idled at 600RPM. That seems low to me (My C5 Z06 idles at 800RPM)

I think 675rpm or so.

EdsC6Z06 02-15-2013 12:21 PM

Never watched it that close. 6-700?

My 2013 idles around 550 to 600, not sure instruments accurate, but it feels low

My 07 idled around 650 to 750???

For what it's worth, my '12 LS3 dry-sump idles right at 600 & has since new.

I have a 2010 and it usually sits around 600-650.

Thanks for the very helpful answers guys. Um, Ryne, I am unfamiliar with the C6 Z06.............that's why I asked I asked these knowlegable guys:thumbs:

BTW did I mention that I also drove a Mongoose Grand Sport replica with a cage. The cage did NOT have a removable door bar. Do any of the Forum members have an easy solution to entry and exit of a GS coupe without a removable door bar or wheel?

both my former '09 LS3 car, and my current LS9 car, idle at about 600 rpm (hot).

Idle with stock tune is 650 once 198 degrees is reached.

My 07 appears to sit around 600rpm, as well. No mods.
