2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Review

    When the seventh-generation Corvette was released in early 2014, it was a pretty big deal, considering that every other Car & Driver magazine cover for about a year had a Corvette on the cover and in the first month of sales, Chevy sold over 2200 units, which is quite impressive. I know that there's a stereotype about having a Corvette being a mid-life-crisis car, but it's actually a scientific fact. Studies show that in 2012, 46% of Corvette buyers were 55 or older, which is quite ironic. I honestly couldn't care less about the sales figures or the Corvette itself, but there is a new "Z06" model, and it has 650 hp. That's more than a Dodge Viper, which has an 8.4 liter V10 (the largest production engine available). I am so glad that they've ditched the old 7.0 liter V8 in the previous Z06 (but they've put in the new Camaro Z/28). But the new Z06 "only" has a supercharged 6.2 liter V8 that rockets this classic American sports icon to 60 mph in about 3.5 seconds. Not a whole lot faster than the previous model, but still beats the BMW M6. The interior is what Chevy calls "drive-focused," which doesn't really mean anything, but is a nice interior nonetheless.
