2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z06

2008 Chevrolet Corvette ZO6

I am the 1 owner of this 2008 Chevrolet Z06 Corvette 1LZ. The exterior color is Black with Ebony leather interior. This Chevrolet Corvette is powered by the 7.0L / V8 engine, has a 6 speed manual transmission with 3594 miles and many very high quality upgrades.

All options are in working order which include power driver seat, power passenger seat, memory seats, push button start, Bose audio system, bluetooth, onstar, key-less remote entry, cruise control, tilt, heads up display, satellite radio, home-link, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, run flat tires, 18 inch front & 19 inch rear wheels in Anthrocite with matching Michelin Pilot Sport tires, 1 factory key / 1 remote, original owners manual,  and floor mats. Now for the important things.

All upgrades were performed when the car was broken in at 1000 miles in March of 2009. Most all of the miles on the car were put on it while I lived in Dallas. I recently moved to Virginia and had the car brought here in an enclosed trailor. There are NO stone chips on the front of this car or the mirrors. A Colgan car bra and mirror socks were used anytime the car was on the highway for a trip. The paint and interior are pristine with NO dings, chips or any damage whatsoever.


$15000 in additional Hi-Performance and other upgrades:

  • Quality Motorsports QM550 Package
  • QM 550 Camshaft and Upgraded Valve Springs
  • Halltech Killer Bee and Beehive Shroud with Vette Air Scoop
  • QM LS7 Ported Intake Manifold and Throttle Body
  • American Racing Header 1 7/8 with Hi-Flow Cats and X-pipe
  • Jet-Hot Coating of the Headers (Silver)
  • Custom made Fabricated Valve covers with Katech Coil Re-location kit and Red plug wires
  • Motorad 160 Degree Thermostat
  • Hinson Motorsports Aeromotive Red fuel rails with Stainless Steel braided lines and Red/Blue AN fittings and Fuel pressure gauge on the fuel rail.
  • Moroso oil vapor catch can with Stainless Steel braided  lines and Red/Blue AN fittings
  • NGK TR6 Spark Plugs
  • Ram Dual Disc Clutch with Ceramic Disc
  • Harland Sharp Rocker Arm Modification
  • Ceramic Tunnel Plate
  • Differential and Transmission fluid were changed when this work was being done. Oil changes occur every 1000 miles with Mobil 1 Synthetic and Mobil 1 oil filter
  • Tremec T6060 transmission which came on line for the Z06 in 2008
  • Replaced the black under hood liner with a factory Z06 embossed liner
  • Raptor Shift Light (Blue)
  • DSW Vettes leather trim dash pieces around the radio/heater controls, shift boot, e-boot and e-boot handle, center console lid with Z06 embroidered on the center and the rear center console piece that sits behind the seat. All in real matching ebony leather with red stitching.
  • Z06 embroidered floor mats and rear cargo mat
  • RSD certified roll bar
  • Stock seat belts
  • MGW short throw shifter with gripper shift knob
  • Sunset Orange Creation Exhaust Commander. I will explain this in better detail here: I debated on removing the stock mufflers and adding a Corsa system. Many advised that a Corsa system would tend to drone inside the cockpit alot. The exhaust commander comes with a key fob and is also hardwired into the options buttom on the dash. This allow you to manually open the secondary exhaust butterflies at idle and to return them to the stock configuration which opens them at 3000 rpm. This allows the car to idle and hear the awesome sound of the cam yet return it to quiet when cruising at hgwy speeds or again keeping them open all the time to listen to the wonderful sound the engine makes at speed.
  • Michelin Pilot Sport tires in stock size. The only reason I replaced the stock tires was that the Michelin is far superior. Better grip, lighter and more importantly quieter.
  • The car was dyno tuned at Quality Motorsports. It made 509.04 on Horsepower and 476.31 on Torque at the rear wheels. 
  • The driveability of the car is fantastic. The clutch feel is exactly like stock with no shuddering. The cam is a very mild just a little above what the stock cam was. Quality Motorsports can comment on that. It is called their Steet Bully cam. No internal engine work was done. The heads were never removed everything else is stock. My idea was to bring up the horsepower without sacrificing driveability in anyway. Hence everything being done to support that. I have most of the receipts and the dyno graphs. The car has never been tracked or raced in any way. Looks fast and has the power to back it up but has never been raced. 
  • Any questions at all please email me.
  • The car is sold as is with no warranty and no returns. I assure you that the winner of the auction will not be disappointed.
  • I am asking that the winner of the auction deposit via PayPal $500.00 within 1 day of the auction ending with the balance being made via bank transfer.
  • Winner is responsible for pick-up and shipping arrangements if necessary. The vehicle is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early.
  • The vehicle is for sale in the USA only. 
  • The reserve is set low given the amount of money and time that went into building this car.
  • The only reason for selling it at this time is an expanding family and the time it takes to manage that. Which leaves no time for the car. The mileage or lack thereof are a testiment to that.
  • Thank you.

Weekly Recap: Tesla loses money, still dominates the news

Sat, Aug 8 2015

Some people get an inordinate amount of attention. In politics, it's Donald Trump. In football, it's Jim Harbaugh. And in the auto world, it's Elon Musk and his always-fascinating electric car company, Tesla Motors. General Motors is spending $877 million to upgrade a factory. So what! US auto sales are up. Who cares? Tesla has a metal snake that will recharge your car! So was the week in Tesla – er, the industry. Snarkiness aside, Tesla did dominate the news cycle, led by the announcement the company lost $184 million in the second quarter. Tesla also said it expects to deliver between 50,000 and 55,000 vehicles this year, and is preparing for a full launch of the Model X crossover in September. Musk also made news during the earnings call by simply not answering a question about ride sharing, leading to speculation Tesla could be considering its own operation. While the financials were the arguably the most important company news, reports of a Model S cyber hacking were more compelling fodder for Tesla followers. Researchers were able to attack the sedan and bring it to a stop, though they required access to the car first. Tesla says it already has deployed a remedy for the situation. On a lighter note, Tesla published a video of its metal charger prototype that autonomously uncoils like a snake to power up the company's vehicles, provoking plenty of humorous comments and comparisons. Watch it and decide for yourself. While some of this might seem trivial, much of Tesla's recent attention has been warranted. It's the first startup US automaker in decades to launch from nothing and actually gain traction in the market. Sure, Musk is a lightning rod and Tesla always seems to be in the spotlight. But amid all of the publicity, it easy to lose sight of the new reality: Tesla is a force. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Chevy Volt lights up 106 MPGe The Chevy Volt's vitals are looking healthier for 2016. The second-generation plug-in hybrid racks up a gaudy 106 miles per gallon equivalent, which is an increase of eight MPGe from the 2015 model. The new Volt can travel 53 miles on electricity, a significant jump from the 2015 Volt's 38-mile range. The new car also has a 420-mile total range when factoring in the capability of the gasoline engine, which is 40 miles greater than the current car offers.

Take a close look at the guts of the Chevy Volt battery, powertrain

Sat, Aug 9 2014

Just how intimate would you like to get with the powertrain in a Chevy Volt? If you're anything like YouTube user d55guy, then spending a half hour filming yourself taking apart the battery pack, motor, inverter and more for a look inside sounds like your idea of fun. After all, this way you get to see the cooling system, the heavy safety kill switch and count up the individual cells in the battery modules. Fun! Turns out, we also enjoy languidly paced Volt dissection video goodness, and we think you might want to see it as well. So, we've embedded two videos below and if you don't have a better understanding of how the Volt is put together after watching them, well, at least you can't say we never tried to show you anything. Given that what's really happening here is the organized 'destruction' of an expensive and potentially dangerous object, let's talk safety. There's a serious disclaimer at the beginning of the videos and on the YouTube description page, but we feel the need to repeat the gist of it here: do not try this at home. The creator of the video says he is a trained engineer and has been doing things like this "for the better part of a decade," so he apparently knows what he's doing. With that in mind, watch it all below. When you're done seeing the insides of a Volt powertrain up close, if you need more filmed EV dissection/destruction, check out this video designed for first responders approaching a damaged Tesla Model S.

Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.
