Gateway Classic Cars Tampa Showroom is proud to offer this beautiful Le Mans blue 2005 Chevrolet Corvette Z51. And before you ask, the RPO codes in the glove box do show it's a real Z51. "The Z51 package was designed to bring the standard Corvette closer to the high-performance Z06 models of previous generations, making it the most capable C6 in 2005 for track use."(Car and Driver 2005). 2005 was the first year for the new C6 and the game changing 6.0l LS2 engine with 400hp and 400ft-lb tq. The Z51 package got you a stiffer suspension, better brakes, and a transmission oil cooler. Of the 15,345 Z51s that rolled out of Bowling Green in 2005 only 3759 were made in stunning Le Mans blue. Of those, the number that were a manual transmission is even smaller. The consigner has owned the car for over two decades and kept it safely in the garage each night. The Carfax is clean and shows only three owners in its pampered twenty year life and comes with two tops.
