Low-Mileage 2004 Corvette Z06 Stands Out for Performance and Preservation

A well-kept 2004 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 with just over 33,000 miles is drawing attention from collectors and enthusiasts alike. Listed in Waukesha, Wisconsin, the black-on-black example reflects the final year of production for the fifth-generation Z06 — a model celebrated for its raw power and driver-focused design.

Introduced in 2001, the Z06 took the already capable C5 Corvette and refined it into a true track-ready performer. The 2004 model came equipped with the 5.7-liter LS6 V8 engine, rated at 405 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a close-ratio six-speed manual transmission and weighing in around 3,118 pounds, the Z06 delivered blistering acceleration and balanced handling.

Performance figures from the era told the story: high 11-second quarter-mile times were possible in skilled hands, while most drivers comfortably achieved mid-12s. The lightweight hardtop body, titanium exhaust system, and enhanced aerodynamics made the Z06 a standout even among modern sports cars.

This particular example retains much of its originality, showing only mild and reversible upgrades including a Corsa cat-back exhaust, Callaway cold air intake, and an Elite Engineering oil separator. The car’s condition appears consistent with careful ownership across its three reported locations — California, Illinois, and Wisconsin. A clean vehicle history report and factory documentation accompany the sale, along with extras such as a car cover and additional wheels.

As one of only 1,186 black-on-black Z06s produced for 2004, this Corvette offers more than performance nostalgia — it represents the purity of a driver’s car built before electronics and refinement softened the edges of American muscle. Would you preserve this one or let it stretch its legs on the track? See it here.
