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.

C7 Corvette turbo with 1,000 horsepower promised from Hennessey

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

If you can't wait for the next-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Hennessey says they will have you covered. The Texas-based company has announced it will offer a spate of upgrades for the 2014 Corvette ranging from a range of bolt-on options all the way up to a 1,000-horsepower, twin-turbo system. Buyers can start with a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust or stainless steel long-tube headers, but Hennessey says it will also offer up three stages of forced induction mayhem should those bits and baubles not provide enough thrust.
Those choices start with a supercharger system good for up to 700 hp, though Hennessey will gladly ditch the blower in favor of two turbos. Doing so will spin the crank to the tune of 800 horsepower all the way up to a certifiably ludicrous 1,000 ponies. There's no word on how much these tricks will cost you - or when they will be available, as we're guessing they haven't gotten their hands on the car yet - but you can head over to the Hennessey site to drop them a line if you're curious.

GM finds steering flaw, decides it doesn't warrant a recall

Tue, Apr 14 2015

Guess what? General Motors is back in the spotlight for not recalling something. This time, though, not only does the company have an argument against a recall campaign, but its position is supported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. According to The New York Times, over 50 owners of GM vehicles have reported instances of stuck or seized steering after driving long distances without moving the wheel. One owner complained to NHTSA that the "locked" steering of their 2013 Buick Verano caused a collision with a concrete barrier in a construction zone. Along with the 2013 to 2014 model year Verano sedans, Chevrolet Cruze and Malibu sedans are also affected. Considering the popularity of those models, GM needs to have a reason for not issuing a recall, right? "Based on a very low rate of occurrence – ranging from less than one half to less than two incidents per thousand vehicles – and the fact that the condition is remedied when the wheel is turned, GM determined this was not a safety issue," spokesman Alan Adler told The Times. The company has, however, issued a technical service bulletin for owners that complain of the problem. The fix is nothing more than a software update that is covered for 10 years or 150,000 miles from new. NHTSA cited GM's actions, along with descriptions of the problems from customers, in its decision not to issue a recall, with spokeswoman Catherine Howden saying, "the symptoms described would be a brief, perceptible change in steering feel that has little to no effect on the driver's ability to safely steer the vehicle." "When terms like 'notchy,' 'stick,' 'slip' or 'feel' are used, it does not indicate a meaningful increase in steering effort," Howden told The Times via email. What do you think? Is GM in the wrong here? Should there be a recall, or is the issue so limited as to not warrant one? Have your say in Comments.

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
