On Tuesday 10/26/2021 Chevrolet finally revealed the 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. The Corvette Z06 has been a long awaited vehicle. People have been waiting for Chevrolet to fully reveal the Z06 version of the C8 Corvette from the day Chevrolet introduced the all new C8 Corvette. Chevrolet played a very well made video that went into detail about how the Z06 came about and how it has come all the way to where it is today. From the day Z06 was introduced, it has always been the most track ready Corvette you could buy straight from the factory and that has not changed with this new version of the Z06 Corvette. Chevrolet's goal with with 2023 Corvette Z06 was to " Put the World on Notice." They want to let the rest of the world know what American cars can do. For the longest time, most people outside of the United States just thought that American cars were only good to go in a straight line. Which, to be fair, was not all that wrong. Chevrolet is going directly after all European supercar makers with the 2023 Corvette Z06. When Chevrolet came out with the C8 Stingray with the mid- engine, everyone was just thinking about all of the possibilities that could come with future models of the Corvette. The C8 Corvette Stingray has been a huge success so far and continues to be the most sought after car on the market currently. The fact that most dealers in the United States are selling these Corvettes for over MSRP. when a vehicle is selling at over MSRP, you know it is a hot vehicle.
The 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 will completely change the game in terms of American "supercars." Up to this point, there really aren't many American supercars. The Ford GT, the Corvette ZR1, and maybe the Ford Mustang GT500. It really depends on who you are talking to thought. But without a doubt, the 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is a supercar. The numbers that Chevrolet have stated, the car is clearly a supercar. The main difference between the C8 Stingray and the Z06 is the engine and the power that it creates. The Corvette Stingray has a 6.2L naturally aspirated V8 pumping out 495 horsepower. While the Z06 has a completely different engine in it. It has a 5.5L flat- plane crank engine that puts out 670 horsepower. The engine in the Z06 is the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 in a production car ever. Chevrolet really wanted to go after Ferrari specifically. There are a lot of similarities between the Ferrari 458 and the Corvette Z06. The flat- plank crankshaft is what give the higher pitch sound that most European supercars have. Corvettes are known for having a deep throaty tone but the Z06 screams like a Ferrari and it sounds incredible. The new engine also revs to an astonishing 8600 rpm. That is exactly 2000 rom higher than the C8 Stingray.
The 2023 Corvette Z06 also has some pretty impressive stats too. The Corvette Z06 is said to have a 0-60 time of 2.6 seconds. But there is an optional package called the Z07 package that you can have added and it can do 0-60 in 2.6 seconds. When you eclipse the sub 3 second mark in terms of 0-60, that's when you know you are in supercar territory. The numbers that Chevrolet is presenting are very impressive. The one big upside that the Corvette is going to have over all of the European supercars is the price. Most Europeans supercars are going to be double if not triple the price of the Corvette Z06. The C8 Stingray is hard enough to get a hold of, can you image how hard it is going to be to get your hands on a Z06.
The 2023 Corvette Z06 will be available in six different trim levels.
