After just one turn of the key, as they used to call it back in my day, it’s hard not to be instantly captivated by the V8 cylinder orchestra from the Chevy Corvette Z06. Not to mention the child-like joy you get after reviving it. For some, it’s like falling in love for the first time all over again. Time ceases to exist around you, and everything else moves in slow motion as the experience captivates you. This is what an American rear-wheel drive car like the Vette can deliver.

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.

Otherwise, you’ve got your standard premium car amenities like dual memory power seats, performance data and video recorder, retractable touchscreen display, heated and ventilated seats, climate control of automatic air, and, of course, the rear camera because you can’t just rely on it. on the sensors. Oh, and for rich people with fancy shoes, premium carpet floor mats are soft to the touch.

What is all this worth, you may ask? The seller is asking $109,900 exactly. There is also a 120-month financing estimate of $1,316 monthly with 20% down.

If you’re in the market for an all-new 2024 Corvette Z06, there are three trims. The 1LZ starts at $111,795, while the 2LZ starts at $120,695. A 3LZ with GT2 bucket seats will set you back at least $125,345. All three versions feature a 5.5-liter V8 engine and an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission.
