PERFORMANCE: THE Z06 SPEEDS PAST ITS FELLOW VETTES

The Engine in the Z06 is new and improved, and it rivals the makes of its European supercar equivalents. It comes with an LT6 5.5-liter V8 engine that produces 670 horsepower. Simply put, it’s faster and stronger than the Corvette Stingray. The engine sports a new flat-plane crankshaft that gives it a recognizable roar for miles. Be wary when driving this one after quiet hours or in residential zones. The Z06 is also a rear-wheel drive with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. It blasts off to the 60-mph mark in only 2.6 seconds and reaches the quarter mile in 10.5 seconds. With the Z07 performance package tracked prepped equipment and a 300-foot skid pad the Z06 can produce 1.22 later g-force. It’s clear that the engine that is powering the Z06 is a winner’s engine, it’s the same one that the C8.R racecar brought home multiple wins at the IMSA GTLM championships. If you’re either into owning a racecar or playing at top speeds, this supercar is now street-legal and ready for you to ride.

METICULOUS DESIGN, STELLAR CRAFTSMANSHIP

Engineers of the Z06 have taken customization to the next level; they want their car to make a statement; and not just a general, “Look they’re driving a Corvette” kind of statement. With the Z06, you can get a supercar that is as unique to you as your fingerprint. The interior design is just as innovative as the outside and what’s under the hood. There are seven different combinations of colors of interiors. Paired with the ability to customize seats, wheels, the stitching you’re left with over 11,000 options for customization outcomes. This Corvette comes with the option for carbon fiber trim packages as well, which can apply to everything from the steering wheel to the dash and doors. The cockpit has been designed to wrap around the driver, engulfing them comfortably in the extreme drive they’re about to take.

FEATURES OF THE FUTURE, HERE TODAY

As you can expect, with a supercar comes some serious superpowers. That’s not only in the engine, but what tech is in store for drivers as they take a seat in the driver’s spot. On the dash, you’re able to see all of your numbers at once on the digital dashboard, reminding us of a racecar’s speedometer from a videogame. Everything from your speed to your g-forces can be customized on the dash to be viewed at all points in time. The infotainment system over the center console makes for crisp graphics that respond fast to the touch, making everything easy to operate and smooth just like its drive. Wireless connection options are found via Apple Carplay and Android Auto, which pair nicely if playing music through the Z06’s 14-speaker Bose audio system. For casual drives, you can bet that you’ll find solid driver assistance aids, but only the necessities such as rear-cross traffic warning and surround view cameras. These are great due to the low visibility out of the back of the Z06. Other features like adaptive cruise control aren’t to be found on this driver-input-oriented car.

OFF THE LOT AND ONTO THE TRACK

The 2023 Corvette Z06 is an improvement for any of those who are looking for a luxurious supercar that is a cut above in speed and handling than any other Corvette. Meant for racers and racers at heart, we know you’re going to get the most out of this car the moment you drive it off the lot.
