"When you hear customers talking about wanting more power, what they really mean is that they want more torque. It's torque that gets you going, whether launching from a standstill, or accelerating out of a corner. At 35, last year's Z06 was already in an elite class. For 2002, we've upped the ante with another 15 pounds-feet of torque, for a total of 400 pounds-feet at 4,800 rpm. The result is one that must be experienced to be appreciated,"

The Z06's are outfitted with the unique six-speed manual transmissions. It will enable skilled drivers to achieve 0-60 mph times of 3.9 seconds and to cover a quarter mile in 12.4 seconds at 116 mph. By comparison, the 2001 power-train combination achieved 0-60 mph in 4.0 seconds and the quarter mile in 12.6 seconds at 114 mph.

"We realize that the Z06 is not for everyone. But, for the extreme performance enthusiasts, the race-bred Z06 provides them with a vehicle that challenges the threshold of performance and handling, with absolutely no compromises."

"The C5 Z06 is a total performance package!"
