Tested: 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is an American Ferrari and then some!
Upping the horsepower from the Stingray's 490 to the Z06's 670 required a host of other mechanical improvements beyond the chassis changes. The transaxle's case and internals are beefed up, and an additional clutch plate is squeezed into the gearbox; the half-shafts are larger too. To keep the engine cool on even the hottest track days, there's now a front-center radiator, and the front-outboard radiators were upsized.
It was drizzling intermittently, and the roads didn't lend themselves to exploiting the standard car's maximum cornering grip. But when we hit sections of dry pavement, we couldn't resist dropping down to second gear and nailing the throttle to feel the thrilling rush the LT6 generates as the tach sweeps past 4000 rpm and to revel in the engine's incredible shout as it rips to its 8500-rpm redline.
