The Z06 Corvette has several visual cues that differentiates it from the base Vette. The changes start up front with a carbon fiber chin spoiler, slightly modified front air dam, and a real working air vent in the hood. The Z06 also has a side vent to cool the massive SBRP325/30ZR19 Eagle F1 rear tires, and the front wheel vent and fenders are also wider to accommodate the larger SBRP275/35ZR18 tires up front. Dimensionally, the Z06 is a full three inches wider and one inch longer than the base C6, yet a steady diet of carbon fiber and aluminum helps it weigh 3,132 lbs – 47 lbs. less than the standard Vette. |
