If so, then it’s time to start the Chevy pre-order process with Parkway Chevrolet to ensure the newest Corvette Z06 has a place in your garage by the time it makes its way to dealers in 2022. When you visit us, you can be among the very first Houson-area drivers to get behind the wheel of this new supercar.
What is it about the 2023 Corvette Z06 that makes it so incredibly special? First introduced in 1963, the Corvette Z06 quickly earned its reputation as a true race car by proving its capability both on and off the track. The newest iteration of the Z06 continues that legacy as a mid-engine marvel that will usher in a new generation of power, performance, and capability while simultaneously paying homage to the Corvette legacy. The 2023 Corvette Z06 doesn’t just meet the standards of excellence for an American supercar; it exceeds them in every way possible, and here’s why.
1 – Throwback Power in a Modern Marvel
In an era where engines are turbocharged, supercharged, or electrified, General Motors and Chevrolet are taking a different approach with the 2023 Corvette Z06 and its naturally aspirated engine. Yes, you read that correctly, and engine purists and supercar fanatics are over the moon with elation. What does this mean for the Z06? It means legendary capability as the highest horsepower-rated naturally aspirated V8 engine ever to make its way into a production car. Go ahead, read that again.
Boasting a fat bore, short stroke, and flat-plane crankshaft, the 5.5-liter V8 engine is a rare gem in the supercar segment, and that makes it all the more desirable when you’re looking for sheer speed and the glorious sound of an engine roaring to life. The clean-sheet design engine churns out 670 horsepower at 8,400 rpm, 200 rpm short of the Corvette’s insane 8,600 rpm redline. This power is matched by 460 lb-ft of torque for jaw-dropping capability that’s made even better by the Z06’s mid-engine layout.
2 – Tested, Proven, and Ready for the Road
The stakes are high for the 2023 Corvette Z06, and General Motors knows it. It’s not every day that a supercar rolls off the line with the highest-performing naturally aspirated engine ever made for a production car. There’s no margin for error, and that’s why General Motors is setting a new benchmark in the segment. For the first time ever, General Motors will put every Z06 engine on a dyno and run it through a 20-minute break-in and then test and fine tune it for performance and accuracy. Every Z06 that hits the lot is, therefore, guaranteed to work exactly as advertised.
3 – Stay in Control at Every Turn
The 2023 Corvette Z06 puts you in control at every turn, whether you’re pushing the supercar to its limits or cruising at highway speeds. This control comes from unique features like Magnetic Selective Ride Control 4.0, which actively monitors the road using strategically placed accelerometers at every corner of the vehicle and adjusts the Corvette’s suspension for optimal performance and ride comfort. In other words, the system constantly reads the road and calibrates the suspension to deliver the best-riding Corvette ever made.
The Z06’s magnetic ride control works in conjunction with the Driver Mode Selection tool, which further tailors how the Z06 performs in certain conditions. Launch Control delivers optimal off-the-line acceleration, while Traction Control delivers the torque you need in rainy or other inclement driving conditions. Performance Traction Mode allows you to tailor the torque and brakes, and the Electronic Limited Slip Differential provides maximum grip and prevents wheelspin.
4 – Supercar Performance, Leveled-Up
Just when you thought the 2023 Corvette Z06 couldn’t get any better, Chevy ups the ante with the Z07 Performance Package. Taking the supercar to its peak, the Z07 package readies the Z06 for the track and delivers 734 pounds of downforce at 186 mph, more than any Corvette in history. What else makes the package a must-have for speed demons?
The Z07 package improves the Corvette’s aerodynamics with a larger front splitter, a carbon fiber high rear wing, unique ground effects, underbody strakes, and specific chassis tuning. It adds Brembo carbon-ceramic rotors, a unique FE7 suspension with Magnetic Ride Control, and exclusive Michelin Cup 2 R performance tires. You can also opt for carbon fiber wheels, which shaves off 41 pounds of unsprung mass for better speed and agility.
5 – Data at Your Fingertips
Supercars like the Corvette Z06 are destined to perform, and that’s why Chevy gives you all the tools you need when it’s time to push the Z06 to its limits. The Z06 is equipped with a digital driving coach known as the Performance Data Recorder. The tool allows you to record high-definition video of your driving and the Z06’s performance, which means you’ll capture everything from your acceleration and speed to gear choice and braking in a crisp video that you can analyze to determine areas that need improvement.
6 – A Cockpit Inspired by Fighter Jets
The 2023 Corvette Z06 looks like the supercar of the future, so it’s only fitting that its interior matches the futuristic and aerodynamic design of its exterior. Step inside the Z06, and you’ll find astounding craftsmanship that seamlessly blends luxury and convenience with innovative technology. With a choice of seven interior colors, three seat options, and six seatbelt designs, you have thousands of combinations to customize the Corvette Z06 exactly to your liking. These options include a hand-wrapped leather interior that adds opulence or a more modern design with a carbon fiber steering wheel and shift paddles. You can even choose from six brake caliper colors, which takes the Z06’s customization to the next level.
7 – Never Miss a Beat in Performance
What better way to celebrate your victory at the track than by cruising with the top down? Chevy makes sure you can do exactly that in the 2023 Corvette Z06, thanks to its retractable hardtop roof that seamlessly flows into the body at the touch of a button. With the top down, the Z06 is incredibly fun to drive with the wind in your hair and a smile on your face.
