650-HP Chevrolet Corvette Z06 2LZ With Less Than 7,000 Miles Is Pure Eye Candy

The eighth iteration of the Corvette, the C8, was introduced in 2019 as a name change. Chevrolet did something surprising and bold by placing the engine behind the driver. Out Vette, the 2019 Z06, however, still has a front-mounted engine, which some might even praise under the right circumstances.

The 2019 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 has the 2LZ package, which means it’s loaded with awesome features. Under the hood is a 6.2 liter LT4 V8 engine mated to a 7-speed manual transmission system. The V8 can produce 650 hp (659 ps) and 650 lb-ft or 881 Nm of torque.

All that power goes through an electronically controlled limited slip differential to the rear wheels which helps the Z06 reach a potential top speed of 196 mph or 315 kph. 0 to 62 mph time or 0 to 100 kph time is 3.8 seconds.

It also boasts performance brakes with 19-inch front and 20-inch Z06 aluminum rear wheels, speed-sensing power steering, active traction control, and a dry sump fuel system. If you look at its “underwear”, you’ll see a rear-mounted transmission, a working exhaust system, and other detailed pieces.

As far as looks go, it’s finished in a sweet and sweet Shade of Gray Metallic color and black aluminum wheels with red brake pads that look good. A transparent roof can be provided for those who are into that kind of experience. The Jet Black leather interior doesn’t look fancy.
