2016 Chevrolet Corvette Z06
Laguna Blue Tintcoat over Jet Black, supercharged LT4, seven-speed manual
Overview
A 2016 Corvette Z06 coupe in Laguna Blue Tintcoat over Jet Black, with the seven-speed manual rather than the automatic, the harder of the two to find and the one enthusiasts ask for first.
The LT4 under the carbon hood insert is a 6.2-litre supercharged V8 rated at 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft, fed through a dry-sump oiling system and an electronic limited-slip differential on a 3.42 final drive. Magnetic Ride Control, the Z06 performance suspension, slotted rotors behind red calipers and the multi-mode performance exhaust are all standard to the package. Active rev matching blips the throttle on downshifts and can be switched off entirely with the paddles.
It was ordered close to fully loaded. The 2LZ Preferred Equipment Group brought heated and ventilated leather seats with power bolsters and lumbar, the memory package, auto-dimming mirrors and the Bose premium surround system. On top of that came the visible carbon fibre hood insert, the removable carbon fibre roof panel with body-colour surround, the carbon fibre interior package, the Z06 black aluminium wheels, and the Performance Data and Video Recorder with navigation.
The car retains its window sticker, its leather folio and full book set, and its SunTek paint protection film warranty. The one service record in the file, from West Chevrolet in April 2022, shows it at 2,261 miles.

The History
The year Chevrolet supercharged the Z06
For fifty years the Z06 badge meant a big naturally aspirated V8 and not much else: no forced induction, no shortcuts. The C7 changed that. From 2015 the Z06 came with the LT4: a 6.2-litre V8 with an Eaton supercharger nestled in the vee, good for 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft, and paired here with the seven-speed manual and its active rev-matching. Underneath sits the aluminium chassis, Magnetic Ride Control, an electronic limited-slip differential and a dry-sump oiling system built for sustained lateral load. It remains the most powerful production Corvette Chevrolet had ever built at the time it was launched.
How this one was ordered
Built in Bowling Green and delivered new to Reeder Chevrolet in Knoxville, Tennessee, this car was specified with $12,030 of options on top of the $79,400 base price. The carbon boxes are all ticked: the visible carbon fibre hood insert, the removable carbon roof panel with the body-colour surround, and the carbon fibre interior package. It has the 2LZ group with heated and ventilated seats, the head-up display and the Bose surround system, and the Performance Data and Video Recorder, the factory system that logs telemetry over video from the windscreen camera.

The paperwork
It still carries its window sticker, the leather Corvette document folio, the owner and infotainment manuals, and the SunTek paint protection film warranty from Fat Cat Customs in Morristown, Tennessee. The one dealer repair order in the file is from West Chevrolet in Alcoa in April 2022, at 2,261 miles: Mobil 1 full-synthetic oil and filter, the 27-point inspection, and a leaking air-conditioning compressor replaced with new seals and recharged. There is no Carfax on file for this car yet, so the history shown here is only what the documents themselves establish.
