505 Horsepower LS7 Engine and 6-Speed Transmission

The racing-inspired Corvette Z06 is equipped with the 505-horsepower (377 kW) LS7 7.0L (427 cubic inches) engine and built on a lightweight chassis.

The 2012 Corvette Z06 is offered only with a six-speed manual transmission - automatic not available - that is strengthened for the LS7's torque and incorporates a pump that sends transmission fluid to the front radiator for cooling. Upon its return, the fluid removes additional heat from the differential lube before returning to the transmission. A single-mass flywheel and lightweight, high-capacity clutch channel torque to the rear transaxle, with a limited-slip differential using enlarged ring and pinion gears.

The 2012 Z06 offers 0-60 performance of 3.7 seconds in first gear, quarter-mile times of 11.7 seconds at 125 mph and a top speed of 198 mph.

For a truly intimate and unique experience, customers who opt for the Corvette Engine Build Experience (option code PBC) can participate in the assembly of their engine at the General Motors Performance Build Center in Wixom, Mich.

Z06 Chassis and Suspension

Z06 capability is enhanced for 2012, with upgrades and new features for the available Z07 performance package, highlighted by new Michelin Pilot Sport Cup Zero Pressure tires. When combined with new-for-2012 Performance Traction Management (PTM) technology - which manages torque delivery for maximum performance - the tires are expected to help set new benchmarks for Corvette performance. Engineers estimate an 8-percent gain in maximum lateral acceleration, to more than 1.1g, and improved braking distance. The enhanced Z07 package's effectiveness was demonstrated with a new lap time of 7:22.7 around Germany's legendary Nürburgring, making it one of the fastest production cars to circle the famous track.

Corvette Z06 Options

2012 options available for the Z06 include a carbon fiber hood, a new Bose Premium audio system with nine speakers, and brake calipers offered in yellow, silver and gray (red calipers are standard on the Z06.) Corvette Z06 also celebrates Chevrolet's performance heritage with the optional 2012 Chevrolet Centennial Edition Corvette, which features a sleek black color scheme, unique design elements and Corvette's sports car technology. The special package is inspired by Chevrolet's racing-bred foundation and is offered on all Corvette models for 2012.

The Mystique of the 7-Liter LS7 Motor

für die,die ihn noch nicht kennen oder gelesen haben. Ein ,wie ich finde ,schöner Bericht zu dem sagenumwobenen LS7 Motor.

Ab Seite 17 ist auch etwas zu den Problemen dieses Motors geschrieben. Ohne das Interesse an diesem Berich schmälern zu wollen-wie gesagt man wird nicht dümmer wenn man ihn liest- doch dieses vorweg:

6,5 Motoren von 1000 haben laut Nachhaltung Probleme gemacht. Wenn diese Zahl -was wir jetzt einfach mal unterstellen-um 50% geschönt worden ist , sind es 13 Motoren von 1000 was aber nicht heißt ,dass diese einen Totalschaden erlitten haben. Sicherlich sind das 13 Motoren zu viel ,aber so etwas kommt nun mal vor -auch bei anderen Herstellern.

super Tom das Du das so pflegst.

ich empfinde 13 von 1000 nicht als zu hoch. Klar ist es ärgerlich aber ist eben nun mal so .

[RainerR]

Da sieht man wieder mal, wie toll die C6 in den verschiedenen Versionen aussieht, finde ich Vette-typischer als die C7
