The 2023 Corvette Z06 is a Ferrari 458 Speciale but better. TheSmokingTire
, Chevrolet sent a minder for the car who exclaimed, as the car flew by on the track’s front straight, “Can you believe Ferrari had this formula eight years ago, and bailed on it?” That says pretty much everything you need to know about the Z06.GM reverse-engineered the Ferrari 458 Speciale and brought it to market in six years. The powertrain, a naturally aspirated 5.5-liter monster that revs to 8700 rpm and makes 670 hp in the process, is the most exciting new powertrain since Porsche’s 4.
At $167,000 as tested, it’s not cheap, but considering F8 Tributo’s regularly sell for prices starting with a 4, the Z06 still keeps up its “Performance of a Ferrari for one-third the price” end of the bargain.
