2005 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe Z51 6-Speed

Description

The 2005 model year marked the debut of the sixth-generation (C6) Chevrolet Corvette, bringing significant advancements in performance, refinement, and usability. At its core was the new 6.0‑liter LS2 V8, delivering a notable increase in power over the outgoing C5 while maintaining the Corvette’s tradition of accessible, driver-focused performance. When equipped with the Z51 Performance Package and a six-speed manual transmission, the C6 offered sharper handling dynamics and enhanced braking capability, making it a compelling choice for enthusiasts seeking both everyday usability and extra performance.

This 2005 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe Z51 is finished in Victory Red over a two-tone black and gray leather interior. Power comes from a 6.0‑liter LS2 V8 paired with a Tremec T56 six-speed manual transmission. The included Service Parts Identification label confirms this example as a factory LS2/MN6-equipped car with the Z51 Performance Package, along with a number of comfort and convenience features. This example now features an SLP exhaust system, oil catch can, and various smoked/blacked-out exterior features.

This 2005 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe is now offered with a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report and a clean Alabama title in the seller’s name.
