The Corvette Z06 Convertible 3LZ with the Z07 Performance Package represents the pinnacle of the Corvette lineup. This particular model, cloaked in a sinister Carbon Flash exterior, is a prime example.
Equipped with the Carbon Aero package, including aggressive front and rear elements, and riding on black-finished spider-design wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R tires, its appearance is as menacing as its performance.
Inside, the cabin is a blend of luxury and sportiness, featuring two-tone leather, heated and ventilated GT2 seats, and advanced technology such as a Performance Data Recorder, and a suite of driver-assistance features.
Despite its exceptional specifications, the value of these high-performance convertibles has been on a downward trajectory as owners and dealers resist selling at auction prices that don’t meet their expectations.
Recent months have seen multiple failed sales, with bids as high as $182,000 being rejected. Even a pristine example with factory miles recently garnered a top offer of $149,000, which was ultimately declined.
The Z06 Corvette delivers raw power courtesy of its mid-mounted 5.5-liter flat-plane LT6 V8 engine, churning out an impressive 670 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. This beastly output is channeled to the rear wheels through an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
Equipped with the Z07 package, this convertible rockets from zero to sixty in a blistering time and can conquer the quarter-mile in a mere 10.6 seconds a feat that would undoubtedly impress even the likes of Dominic Toretto.
However, in today’s world of ever-evolving automotive performance, a ten-second quarter-mile is no longer the benchmark it once was; it would take a low-nine or even mid-eight-second car to truly astonish the Fast and Furious star. Despite its staggering speed, this open-top Z06 comes with a hefty price tag of $159,350.
