How the Corvette Z06 compares with its benchmark, the Ferrari 458:
In the grand tradition of the American way, the Z06 offers more of everything: 5.5 liters of displacement versus the Ferrari's 4.5; 670 horsepower to the Ferrari's 562 hp; and 460 pound-feet of torque to the Ferrari's 398 pound-feet. But the Ferrari's engine does scream higher, with a redline of 9000 rpm compared with the Z06's 8500 rpm redline. Both use dual-clutch automatic transmissions, a seven-speed unit in the Ferrari and an eight-speed gearbox in the Corvette.
It's no surprise that the significantly more powerful Z06 beats the 458 in a straight line, with a 2.6-second run to 60 mph and a quarter-mile run of 10.5 seconds at 131 mph. But the Ferrari isn't far behind, as it reached the same trap speed in the quarter mile and was only 0.4 second behind in the run to 60 mph.
