2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Review: American Exotic

Join us as we review the Chevrolet Corvette Z06

The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is an excellent sports car, but in spite of its mid-engined layout, it’s not quite the budget-priced exotic that many thought it would be. It accelerates as quickly as a Porsche 911 Turbo and its 6.2-liter V8 makes torque for days, but the whole thing just feels a bit too brawny, like a mid-engined muscle car instead of a slinky Italian.

Not to worry, because the 2023 Chevy Corvette Z06 is here to give us a decidedly different take on American performance. Gone is the pushrod LT2, with a flat-plane-crank 5.5-liter V8 taking its place just a few inches behind the passengers’ eardrums. Perfect positioning, then, to observe the so-called LT6’s fear-inducing banshee wail of an exhaust note, especially with the convertible’s folding hardtop stowed. The engine note is a tantalizing amuse bouche to be sure, but there are plenty more amazing ingredients to the Z06’s performance.
