Chevrolet brings back the vaunted Z06 Corvette for 2006, replete with a 7.0L LS7 V-8 engine packing 505 hp. The 2006 Z06 Coupe and Convertible are now available with a new electronically-controlled 6-speed Paddle Shift transmission with three modes: Drive, Sport, and Paddle Shift. Inside, there’s a new, smaller-diameter steering wheel, an automatic passenger airbag switch, and XM Satellite Radio is included on models with the optional Bose audio system. Two new colors, Velocity Yellow and Monterey Red, join the exterior color palette while Titanium Gray becomes an interior choice, and Storm Gray is offered as a new convertible top color.
