2007 Chevrolet Corvette

2007 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe Le Mans Blue, LS2 V8, 6-Speed Automatic with Targa Top Why This Car Is Special The 2007 Chevrolet Corvette sits at an interesting crossroads in Corvette history. It was the final model year for the C6s LS2 6.0-liter V8 before Chevrolet replaced it with the more powerful LS3 for 2008. That makes 2007 a natural dividing line you get the fully sorted, refined C6 platform that had been developed and debugged since 2005, without the price premium that newer examples command. The C6 generation itself was a significant departure from the C5: the wheelbase grew slightly, the body became more sculpted and purposeful, and exposed headlights returned for the first time since the 1962 model. Chevrolet also shed considerable weight compared to its predecessor and stiffened the chassis dramatically. This particular example is finished in Le Mans Blue, a color with obvious nods to Corvettes long history in endurance racing, and it presents in clean, well-kept condition throughout. The VIN on this car decodes to confirm it as a standard C6 Corvette coupe built at the Bowling Green, Kentucky assembly plant the only facility that has ever produced the Corvette. The Y in position five of the VIN confirms the base coupe body style, and the 2 in position six confirms the LS2 engine. Every 2007 Corvette coupe was assembled by hand at Bowling Green, a tradition that sets this car apart from virtually every other American production vehicle. Features List - LS2 6.0L V8 producing 400 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque - 6-Speed Automatic Transmission (4L65-E) - Removable Targa Top panel - Chrome 5-Spoke Wheels - Bose Audio System - Power Windows and Power Door Locks - Grey Leather Interior - Tachometer - Air Conditioning - Dual Exhaust - Clean Undercarriage - Head-Up Display (HUD) Mechanical The LS2 is a 6.0-liter aluminum small-block V8 rated at 400 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque in 2007 Corvette trim. It is part of GMs Gen IV small-block family and shares its basic architecture with the legendary LS engine series that enthusiasts have been building, modifying, and transplanting into nearly everything since the late 1990s. The LS2 was also found in the Cadillac CTS-V and Pontiac GTO during this era, though the Corvette-spec tune was the most potent of the bunch. It is an all-aluminum design, which contributes to the C6s relatively low curb weight of approximately 3,178 pounds for the coupe a number that still impresses compared to modern sports cars of similar performance. Paired to the LS2 here is the 6-speed automatic transmission, the 4L65-E unit. This was a popular choice among buyers who wanted the full performance of the Corvette with a more relaxed driving experience. The automatic also allowed drivers to make full use of the LS2s broad, flat torque curve without constantly working through a clutch in traffic. The 4L65-E is a known-quantity gearbox with a strong reliability record. This combination puts 0-60 mph in the low four-second range, with a top speed governed at 186 mph. The undercarriage photos on this listing are worth studying. The C6 Corvette uses a hydroformed steel frame with composite body panels above it there is no traditional unibody or body-on-frame structure. What you see underneath is the cars structural backbone exposed, and on this example it is clean and dry with no signs of corrosion, seepage, or repair work. The suspension is an independent setup front and rear, with transverse composite leaf springs, a design Corvette has used for decades and one that delivers a surprisingly compliant ride while maintaining precise handling. The dual exhaust exits cleanly at the rear and shows no rust or patchwork. Interior The grey leather interior is well-suited to a car that sees real use. It is a practical pairing with Le Mans Blue it does not show grime the way a tan or cream interior would, and it does not absorb heat the way a black interior does in
