It pairs a Magnuson supercharger package with the desirable seven-speed manual. It sits on Bring a Trailer at $40,250 with six days to go.2018 Chevrolet Corvette Z06Bring a TrailerWhat it's worth right nowClean C7 Z06s command strong money, though a heavily modified example occupies its own market. According to Classic.com and current listings, C7 Z06 examples average close to $79,600, with clean 2018 coupes generally trading from close to $55,000 into the low $80,000s, while an extensively modified example like this one trades differently, since the build narrows the buyer pool.AdvertisementAdvertisementFair value for a heavily modified example like this sits close to $40,000 to $62,000, most likely close to $45,000 to $54,000, with the huge claimed power and quality hardware supporting the figure and the notes below tempering it. At $40,250 with six days remaining, the bidding should climb into that range.2018 Chevrolet Corvette Z06Bring a TrailerCondition and detailsThe car is a seriously modified build, so it should be valued on the finished product. Finished in black over Jet Black Nappa leather, it runs the 6.2-liter LT4 V8, rated at 650 horsepower stock, now fitted with a Magnuson 2650 supercharger, a 103mm throttle body, a Roto-Fab intake, a performance camshaft, a supplemental port fuel injection system, long-tube headers, and a trunk-mounted intercooler ice tank, through the seven-speed manual to an electronic limited-slip differential.2018 Chevrolet Corvette Z06Bring a TrailerIt wears bronze HRE wheels, shows 23,000 miles, and carries a clean Carfax and title. The seller states it produces 1,061 horsepower at the wheels on E85. Several points demand scrutiny. That power claim is the crux, since commenters flagged that 1,000-plus wheel horsepower is genuinely risky on stock pistons and connecting rods.2018 Chevrolet Corvette Z06Bring a TrailerThe seller indicates the internals were not upgraded, and the engine is at its power limit; that is a serious reliability concern, so obtain the dyno documentation, verify the build, and understand the risk. The documentation also warrants attention, since the seller was unclear on some build specifics, so scrutinize the receipts. A thorough build inspection is essential before bidding.2018 Chevrolet Corvette Z06Bring a TrailerAdvertisementAdvertisementThe offerSpecificationDetailMakeChevroletModelCorvette Z06 CoupeYear2018Mileage23,000 milesEngine6.2-liter supercharged LT4 V8Power650 hp stock, with a claimed 1,061 hp at the wheels on E85Transmission7-speed manualDrive typeRear-wheel driveExterior colorBlackInterior colorJet BlackCurrent bid$40,250, with six days leftInterested in this 2018 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Coupe? View the listing here.What makes the Z06 uniqueThe C7 Z06 was a genuine milestone, a supercar-slaying Corvette that delivered performance rivaling machines costing several times as much. Its supercharged 6.2-liter LT4 V8 produced 650 horsepower from the factory, and paired with a seven-speed manual, a track-tuned chassis, and enormous grip, it could embarrass exotics on both the road and the track. As the last front-engine Corvette and the last available with a manual gearbox, it holds a special place in the model's history, and clean examples have held their value well as enthusiasts recognize its significance.2018 Chevrolet Corvette Z06Bring a TrailerThat already-formidable supercharged foundation is exactly why the LT4 became such a popular platform for big-power builds, since the engine responds dramatically to more boost and supporting modifications. This example takes that potential to an extreme with a comprehensive Magnuson supercharger package and a claimed four-figure output, and for a buyer who wants staggering straight-line performance and the engagement of a manual gearbox, a build like this delivers enormous capability, provided the reliability trade-offs are understood.My takeThis is a car for a specific buyer, one who wants monstrous, tire-vaporizing power and the involvement of a manual, and understands what running that kind of output entails. The Magnuson package and supporting hardware are quality pieces, the seven-speed manual is exactly what enthusiasts want, and the claimed power figure is genuinely staggering for the money. The reliability question is the thing to resolve, and it is a significant one.AdvertisementAdvertisementFair value sits close to $40,000 to $62,000, most likely close to $45,000 to $54,000, reflecting the huge power and quality build against the reliability concern and the polarizing nature of an extreme modification. Before bidding, obtain the dyno sheet, scrutinize the build documentation, get a thorough inspection focused on the engine internals, and understand that four-figure power on stock components carries real risk. Handle that, and this is a monstrous amount of performance for the money.Disclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only. We are not a dealership or broker.
