In 2003, Corvette unveiled a 50th Anniversary Special Edition, more standard equipment on the coupe and convertible models, and Magnetic Selective Ride Control, the industry’s first semi-active suspension technology. The Z06 was modified and rated 405 horsepower, achieved through removing two of the precatalytic converters in the exhaust system. Induction was improved and hi-lift camshafts were installed, acting on a lightweight valve gear.

April 2010, I purchased my first Corvette... a 50th Anniversary, Millennium Yellow, 405 HP Z06. Mine was from a collector in Kansas and has a few modifications bringing it closer to 505HP. However, being a new Corvette enthusiast I have been collecting a wide range of photos, technical specifications, and being a computer guy not a motor head... I have had to translate much of this to "English". Now I know how many of most people feel when I speak techno-babble...

I have collected information on The History of Z06, along with the original 2003 Corvette Introduction which contains pages of technical information for all 2003 Corvette models. My goal was to build single source for everything I can find on the 405HP Z06 Corvettes. Along the way, I have found some amazing photos people have published of their cars. I have seriously enjoyed a nice collection of Z06 vs everything else videos on YouTube and have organized them for you to also enjoy!
