Z06 sounds like a full blown race car!!!! 🔥🔥

[supersnake]

I can't wait for the suspension test! Almost everyone overlooks the importance of a comfortable ride in a car like this

[haze]

The bigger side vents on the Z06 makes a huge difference in the overall look of the car.
And the Z06 lower facia looks swept backward instead of forward. Much more aggressive look.
It looks incredible, IMO. And the sound? OMG

My 2023 Stingray came waited eleven months. Didn't get the Z06, just settled for the enough for me, I love it.

[WhistlesToAnimals]

Stingray is a better bargain for me. Looks better actually, at least to me. More performance than 99% of the buyers can handle or ever use. I guess I think the Stingray is so perfect, that it can't be improved. Z06 is over the top, and maybe really better suited for track use or if rare, stored as a collector item.

[southeastoriginal]

Perfect I’ll start saving now so In 2027 I can get me a 2023-2024 model and I’m sure aftermarket parts will be amazing 🤩

The Corvette doesn’t lose anything when you go up in trim level, it just gets better. The Z06 also has MRC 4.0 dampers, which means it’s ride quality will remain significantly versatile. The system shouldn’t necessarily *lose* any abilities in softness but I expect great gains in stiffness and maybe reaction time to put holes, imperfections on city roads, etc. on the Z06. But the Z06 didn’t just get a performance upgrade, it’s also more luxurious than the Stingray which again supports my point that it’s just a better Stingray and didn’t necessarily “lose” anything. Just my $2.00.

The way the Z06 sounds is unreal! Makes the Stingray sound civilized.

[lihlesluhlanga]

I love the way you tap the exhaust pipes with that little wand. It's like you a choir conductor.

[DwainDwight]

That Z06 has got to be buy of the century. wow. can't wait to see you guys put one to the test. now on my shopping list.

[reginaldboyd]

1:32 the Z06 really didn’t appreciate that guy tapping its rear😂

[Pmtd]

I placed my deposit for the Z06 Sep 2020 before I actually knew the specs. I figured for $2K refundable deposit (I have dropped more than that in Vegas in one day) it was worth it. Considering the demand now, I am glad I did. My primary focus is getting back to running track events. My last track car was a custom C5R-427.

I absolutely died at "cartilaginous fish". What an iconic line

[carloscabret]

Congratulations to the Chevrolet/GM group for giving the green Light on this spectacular CORVETTE! I will be owning one soon!

[PSDetails]

I am going to have to say that I love that Z06. Even if it doesn't outperform in every category. Gonna have to say that the sound alone is kinda worth the wait.

[rockemsockemrusbot]

A good crystal ball for the practicality of the new Z06 compared to the stingray would be to look at the C7 stingray versus the Z06 C7 where very little was lost in terms of practicality. The newer Corvettes are great grand touring cars as well as high-performing sports cars front engine or mid engine I like

[dennissmith]

I would buy a Z06 over a huracan all day everyday……….even if they were the same price no question!! 🤷🏽‍♂️

[mody]

Well done GM for creating the most exciting piece of art ZO6 ever made 👍🏽🏁

[SiriEmerald]

2020 Stingray start-up ---- Okay, that is respectable, won't get me in trouble with the neighbors too much I don't think. 2023 ZO6/ZO7 start-up ---- HOLY SHIT! WOW! DAMN! Rev it again DAMN!!!! Okay, my neighbors for fact would know that I was about to drive the ZO6 that day

[_Tra_B]

I can't lie I thought the new zo6 would've been supercharged, but damn that N/a sounds 🔥
