First Drive: 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 — via drivingdotca PerformanceVehicles FirstDrives
First, the headliners: The Z06 makes 670 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. That means at 122 hp/L, it makes more power per litre than a 2.0L Honda S2000, renowned as being a benchmark in this metric. At 670 hp, it’s also the most powerful production naturally aspirated engine you can buy under $1,000,000. That peak power comes in at a screaming 8,400 rpm, which is coincidentally 100 rpm higher than the power peak of the vaunted Honda motor.
The suspension uses stiffer springs than the standard C8, which allowed engineers to actually use a smaller, more supple anti-roll bar to preserve ride comfort. Chevrolet’s magical magneto-rheological dampers are standard on Z06 and allow the driver to choose stiff track settings or surprisingly comfortable street settings. The magneto suspension is pretty magical and affords an impressively comfortable ride on pockmarked surfaces.
You can feel that aero at work when you head to the track. The faster you go in the Z06, the more it wants to stick to the ground. The Z06 gives drivers uncanny levels of grip on high-speed corners, and 670 hp pulls it rapidly through the straights.Though the magneto suspension is very smooth, other aspects of comfort are not so dazzling. With 270-mm-section front tires and 345 rears, there is notable tramlining on display, especially when there is a bit of water in the grooves on the road.
