Chevrolet Corvette Z06
Tags: Chevrolet, Corvette
505 hp, 7.0-liter V8, 198 mph top seed, are you kidding me? This is probably one of the most anticipated releases for an American car maker in a long time. The performance stats on the Corvette are just mind boggling.
By almost every performance standard, the Z06 is a supercar. A few days after our trip, we took a Z06 to GM’s Milford proving ground and tested it. It ripped to 60 mph in only 3.6 seconds, hit 100 in 7.9, and 150 in 17.5. That’s on par with or better than the performance of the $153,345 Ford GT (and good luck getting that price) and $180,785 Ferrari F430.
Even though the list price is only $65,900, if you want one of these expect to pay around $15K over sticker. eBay already has pre-order listing for amounts that you are willing to pay over sticker. If you want some American muscle at a little lower price, don’t forget about the Ford Shelby GT500.
