The Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is a high-performance version of the Corvette supercar produced by Chevrolet.

Engine & Transmission

• The heart of the Z06 is a “hand-built” LT6 engine, featuring a flat-plane crankshaft that allows for a screaming 8,600 RPM redline.

Horsepower: 775 hp @ 8,400 rpm
Torque: 460 lb-ft @ 6,300 rpm
Transmission: 8-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT) with a performance-ratio rear axle (5.56:1)
Sound: The flat-plane crank produces an exotic, high-pitched exhaust note compared to a Ferrari.

Speed & Acceleration

• When equipped with the optional Z07 Performance Package, the Z06 delivers near-record-breaking acceleration for a being a “naturally aspirated” SuperCar.

0–60 MPH: 2.5 seconds
Quarter-Mile: 10.3 seconds @ 133 mph
Top Speed: Estimated between 193 and 195 mph

Handling & Braking

• The Z06 features a wider stance (3.6 inches more than the standard Stingray) to accommodate massive tires and improved cooling.

Suspension: Standard Magnetic Selective Ride Control 4.0, which can adjust damping every 10–15 milliseconds.

Brakes: Performance Brembo 6-piston front and 4-piston rear calipers. Available carbon-ceramic brakes significantly improve heat management during track use.

Grip: Massive tires (275/30ZR20 front, 345/25ZR21 rear) provide “tenacious grip,” with some tests recording up to 1.25 g on a skidpad.

Performance Upgrades

Z07 Performance Package: Ground Effects, Carbon Ceramic Brakes, specific chassis/suspension tuning, and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires.

Carbon Aero Package: Focuses on maximum downforce with a larger front splitter, front-corner dive planes.
