Since this is still a C8, we are still blessed with mid-engine goodness. This variant is enhanced with a flat-plane crank, 5.5-liter V8 producing 670hp with 460 lb-ft of torque. Redline breaks in at 8600 rpm. A 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive are the specs. All this will give the best driver a 0-60 time at 2.6 seconds. If you were shopping for a fuel saver, this isn’t it. 12mpg city and 19mpg highway is wishful thinking.

Quite a cool feature is the square carbon steering wheel, which allows you to see the rectangle dash better. The only other car I have ever seen with that is the 2014 Ferrari LaFerrari. Which I love. Although a McLaren P1 is still my favorite. With the Z06 you get an LFA-type driver’s cockpit; everything angled towards the driver. It comes standard with a HUD (heads up display) and heated / ventilated seats! That’s more than Lamborghini options. When do you ever see sports cars of this caliber with ventilated seats!? Wireless phone charging, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Wi-Fi are all provided through the 8” touch screen infotainment system. 10 Bose speakers are rigged or an enhanced 14 speakers system is purchasable. One of the finest benefits provided is the performance data recorder (PDR.) This records video of track exploits, normal drives, or valet parking whenever activated.

For wheels we have 20” front and 21” back, forged aluminum wheels. If you have a Bezos Trust Fund set up however, opting for $12k carbon-fiber wheels is a must! The last major option is reserved for the Z07 performance package (+$8,995) to add tuned suspension, Michelin Pilot Cup 2R ZP tires, carbon aero package (reduces weight,) Brembo carbon ceramic brakes, and carbon front splitter / rear spoiler. The trunk can hold 2 sets of golf clubs, plus you get the frunk! Obviously track orientation is the main goal of this vehicle, lots of lush microsuede are invasive in the interior mixed with brilliant carbon fiber. Contrasts from a normal C8 include the car being 3.6” wider with bigger side air intakes.

Complimentary first service is offered for the 2023 Z06. 36k miles or 3 years limited warranty and 60k miles or 5 years powertrain warranty is expected. 12 exterior colors and 7 interior colors are available. If you are lucky enough to get an allocation, rest assured knowing you can’t sell it. GM has sent notice to all owners that the manufacturer’s warranty will be voided with any sale or transfer of ownership within 12-months!! No thanks Chevy, I will stick with my badass Honda Civic with no restrictions.
