We road-tested the new Corvette Z06, and it didn't disappoint.
receives a mid-mounted V-8 engine that revs into realms previously reserved for European automotive royalty only.Chevrolet began development of the Z06’s new LT6 engine alongside that of the C8.R endurance race car, but the production process quickly forked due to rules that restrict a competition engine’s air-inlet diameter. As a result, the road-going engine actually produces more than an additional 150 hp compared to the racer.
Much like the “base” C8 Stingray, the Z06 still offers no manual option. But here, even more than in the lower-spec car, the eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox feels almost necessary for keeping the 5.5-liter V-8 perfectly in its power band. To help cope with the additional output of nearly 200 hp routed to larger tire-contact patches, Chevy significantly revised the transaxle with an additional clutch disc, a deeper hydraulic oil sump, internal baffles, beefed-up output shafts and a higher 5.
