2007 Corvette Z06 Forum Find is a Drag Strip Ready Beast

Twin-turbo setup helps this LS7 V8 make more than a thousand wheel horsepower in this lightweight Corvette.

The C6 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 was built to be a road racing legend and it was, thanks in part to lightweight body, chassis and drivetrain bits. However, the C6 Z06 was a solid drag car in stock form thanks to the quick-revving LS7 and the low curb weight, but it also offered a ton of potential for quicker elapsed times via the aftermarket.

While flipping through the C6 Corvettes for Sale section, we came across one C6 Z06 that has been built to make big power and to make the most of that power in a straight line. This twin turbo Corvette, listed by “BRING IT”, can deliver over 1,000 wheel horsepower while the built transmission, upgraded axles and beefy drag radial tires help put all of that power to the ground.

Multipurpose Performance Car

While the wheel-and-tire combination is clearly designed for the drag strip, this Corvette is surely a blast to drive in any situation. All of that power is guaranteed to make this car all-but-unbeatable on the street and with the right tires, this Z06 should still be able to boogie around a road course.

Of course, if you aren’t worried about road racing and you just want a big, bad Corvette to tear up the street and the local drag strip, this silver C6 Z06 could be your dream car. With a list price of $45,000, it isn’t a budget buy, but for the Corvette lover who wants a big-power Z06 without the headache or planning the build and picking a shop, this for-sale listing might be the best deal out there.
