OSHAWA, Ontario (August 12, 2005) - GM Canada announced that the fastest Corvette ever – the 505-horsepower Corvette Z06 which will achieve 0-60 km/h in 3.7 seconds while in first gear – will arrive in dealerships this fall. The manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for the 2006 Corvette Z06 with a standard manual 6-speed transmission will start at $89,900.
“The highly anticipated Corvette Z06 completes the sixth-generation portfolio at an incredible value when compared to others in the premium sports car segment,” said Norm Sawula, Marketing Manager for Large/Luxury Cars. “For all its race-inspired functionality, the Corvette Z06 is designed to be refined as a daily driver with sophisticated and comfortable interior and generous cargo volume.
