The C5 Z06 was the birth of the modern Corvette supercar as we know it. This car was every bit faster than just about anything that came before it and the modern performance was only matched by its beautiful styling. The C5 Z06 was a car unlike anything else on the road at the time and was built on the stellar C5 platform, which was at the peak of popularity at the time (via Top Speed).

Under the hood of the car was the powerful 405 HP LS1 engine, and it was coupled with an updated suspension to handle twists and turns with ease. The Z06 was by all accounts a street-legal track car and it got rave reviews. If you were able to snag one of these in the beautiful yellow color, you knew that you were in for something special with this car.
