The suspension design is carried over from the base car, with stiffer springs and anti-roll bars. The brakes are uprated, with Like that car, the main news is under the hood. The supercharged 6. It has a forged steel crankshaft, titanium connecting rods, a dry-sump oil system, and hollow-stem exhaust valves. Titanium is also used for the intake valves. An Eaton R supercharger and Behr intercooler force fuel and air into the engine, resulting in horsepower and lb-ft of torque.
To cope with the power, a two-disc clutch is fitted, and the gearbox and rear axle have been further strengthened. The gear ratios are closer than those of the Z The ZR1 marks the first time a Corvette is equipped with carbon-ceramic brakes—massive All three Corvettes are spectacularly fast. The base model goes from zero to 60 mph in 4. The Z06 needs just 3. The to and tomph top-gear acceleration times are impressive, as is skidpad grip: 0. The base car managed feet better than the last Turbo we tested , and the Z06 took feet.
The base coupe is the most livable of the three. The highway ride is surprisingly supple, tire noise is relatively muted—except for some intrusive slap over expansion joints—and the engine hums away at rpm at 80 mph.
We even managed to average 25 mpg during our test in the coupe, close to the EPA-highway figure of 26 mpg. On bumpy back roads, the standard Corvette is very composed, has tons of grip, and eats up straightaways while being perfectly composed under braking. It sounds terrific, too, bellowing hard under full throttle. The Z06 is almost too much car for regular roads. The performance-oriented C5 Corvette with the Z06 package had a 0-to miles per hour time of 4.
The Z06 is capable of reaching mph in just 28 seconds, which is 2. The top speed for the Z06 was mph. For the souped-up Corvette Z06, the engineers at GM ditched the LT2 V8 altogether and instead built a new powerplant from the ground up. At the heart of the car sits a flat-plane-crank 5. Unlike the previous-generation Z06, there are no forced-induction implements at play here — this is the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 engine ever fitted on a road car.
The engine revs to an 8,rpm redline, emitting an otherworldly exhaust note that took two years to perfect. This translates to an even faster acceleration time than the Stingray. Chevrolet says the Z06 will rocket to 60 mph in only 2. The stance of the Z06 is 3. More importantly, it enables the car to be shod with massive mm-wide rear tires on inch wheels. The brakes are also bigger on the Z Six-piston Brembos in front, up from four-piston in the Stingray, chomp down on The rear brakes are slightly larger, with inch rotors, but the cream of the crop for the Z06 is the optional carbon-ceramic brakes that bump the sizes to Chevrolet says the suspension setup has been specifically tuned for the Corvette Z Also, features like magnetorheological dampers and electronically controlled limited-slip differential offered as options for the Stingray come as standard for the Corvette Z Aerodynamics is serious business on the Corvette Z Even a casual observer will notice the lower and wider stance of the standard Z06 model when parked alongside the Stingray.
Upfront, a unique fascia helps funnel air to a center heat exchanger. The Corvette Z06 is equipped with centre-mounted quad exhaust pipes, differentiating it from the Corvette Stingray, which wears dual exhausts on both sides of the rear diffuser. The Z06 also gets a new front splitter and a rear adjustable spoiler. That spoiler includes an install-able fixed wickerbill. The Z06's brakes are 1.
Carbon-ceramic rotors are included in the Z06's track-focused Z07 package. Z06 cars come with inch front and inch rear aluminum wheels wrapped in Pilot Sport 4S rubber standard, though carbon-fiber wheels are available, as are Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires that were specifically designed for the Z The Z06 measures 3.
You'll notice a large rear wing on some Z06s. Those cars are equipped with the Z07 package, which includes not only numerous other performance options but aerodynamic tweaks such as the wing, as well as a front splitter and canards that help with cornering and stability. Cars not equipped with that package have a smaller adjustable spoiler. A unique front fascia allows air to feed to a center heat exchanger that better cools the powertrain, there's also more brake cooling, and the rear is different than the Stingray's, too, with center quad-exit exhaust tips.
Its side air intakes are also larger. Like the Stingray, the Z06 is available in both coupe and convertible configurations.
