FOR SALE
2001 Corvette Z06
SOLD
Trailer has been sold separately and no longer available.
This great example of the 2001 hardtop Corvette Z06 is offered for sale, as I am now enjoying retirement and doing the inevitable downsizing of my toys.
Always garaged and continuously registered since being imported and converted to RH drive by Performax in 2002. Kept by them as a director's vehicle for three years then sold to its 2nd Australian owner who moved abroad two years later, when he sold it to the current owner. I am a former president and current member of NSW Corvettes Club.
Affectionately known as the "Yella Terra", this Z06 has been in my care from 2007 till now. Purchased to participate in club level motorsport including supersprints, hillclimbs and motorkhanas, it has won multiple club and class championships with HSV Owners Club of NSW, NSW Corvettes, interstate Corvette challenges, and Corvette Nationals events. It has also claimed two NSW CAMS State Supersprint class titles, and third at Australian national level. It has never been involved in any collisions that I am aware of, either on or off the track.
Lap times: SMSP Gardner 1.43.5, North 1.10.3, South 1.02.2, Wakefield 1.05.8, Philip Island 1.47.
This Z06 has also won "best Corvette" and class trophies at various car shows over the years, proving it also presents well cosmetically.
Throughout its time in motorsport, various suspension, brake system, cooling systems and engine refreshing changes have been made, not only improving the performance package, but also resulting in a car that is stronger, more robust and reliable and by far better handling than the factory original.
Not driven on the track since early 2017, it is used as a weekend road cruiser, and has only travelled some 2,000 klms since then. A few months before its last track outing, the engine received an overhaul and refreshing, with some strengthening built in to the upper cylinder area.
Upgraded valve springs, Hypatech Chev pistons, Crow rocker trunion and bush kit, and mild streetable camshaft (Lunati VDLS-272). Otherwise factory spec original LS6 5.7Ltr Corvette engine tuned to 460 BHP at flywheel, in February 2016.
