Z06 Corvette Wins Car of the Year Award

CorvetteBlogger.com, the Sales, News and Lifestyle blog dedicated to the American sports car has named the 2006 Corvette Z06 its Car of the Year. This marks the first time this award has been handed out since the founding of the blog in August 2005.

"We reviewed several cars for this award and actually narrowed our search to three vehicles," said Keith Cornett, Senior Editor of CorvetteBlogger.com. "The Corvette Coupe and the Corvette Convertible models were considered, But the Z06, with its heart-thumping 505 horsepower and relatively low super car price of $65,800 made the decision easy."

The Corvette Z06 marks the latest evolution of the Corvette icon. Rebuilt from the ground up, the latest Z06 features a 505 hp 7.0 liter LS7 aluminum block with an innovative Dry-Sump oil system. Massive six-piston front and four piston rear brakes can stop this beast 60 mph to 0 in 109 feet. The Corvette also features a strong, yet lightweight aluminum frame combined with a magnesium engine cradle allowing superior power-to-weight ratios. All these features add up to an unheard of MSRP of $65,800.

There were only two considerations that the editors took into account during the selection process. First, the car must be manufactured by Chevrolet and second, it must be a Corvette.

"Few autos have generated more excitement from enthusiasts and the automotive media than the Corvette Z06. We feel the selection of the Corvette Z06 as our 2005 Car of the Year ads another dimension to the American Icon," said Cornett.
