The name for the Chevy Corvette comes from a class of warships that are generally the smallest type, designed to move quickly and attack faster than the larger, slower frigates. This has proven to be an incredibly appropriate name since models like the 2024 Chevy Corvette Z06 make every other vehicle on the road look like a slow and lumbering battleship by comparison. Even other sports and pony cars can seem to almost stand still when compared to the blistering fast performance and incredible power delivered by the Corvette Z06. This high-performance vehicle is designed to leave everything else in its wake and delivers on that goal beautifully.
At the heart of the Corvette Z06 is an unimaginably powerful engine that roars to life in a way that has to be heard in person to be fully appreciated. This is a 5.5L V8 High-Output engine that delivers 670 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that is gloriously quick and responsive as it delivers ultra-fast shifts beyond human reflexes. The result is a car capable of going from 0 to 60 in 2.6 seconds, flying along the ground as though it can defy the laws of physics with its supernatural acceleration. It might seem like we’re gushing a bit about the Corvette Z06, but if anything, we are actually underselling just how incredible this car is to get inside and take for a drive.
And speaking of getting inside, the moment you find yourself in the cockpit of the Corvette Z06, you will quickly realize that the designers at Chevy are possessed with the same mad genius as the engineers. The entire interior seems to wrap around you, focusing on you as the driver with a central display canted toward you, a low steering wheel that gives you a stunning view of the road ahead, and a central row of buttons within easy reach. This sports car yearns to be driven. Designed and built by people who love to drive, every inch of it—inside and out—makes that abundantly clear. From its wide, low stance and short front end to its quad center exhaust and Engine Appearance Package with engine lighting, there is simply nothing else on the road quite like the Corvette Z06.
Starting at
There is a lot to like about the 2024 Chevy Corvette Z06 and plenty to discuss, but nothing surpasses the incredible performance it brings to the road (and track). This is a car designed, front to back—inside and out, for drivers who want the very best performance from their vehicle. Whether you are talking about the raw power of its engine, the incredible traction and handling provided by its wide stance, or the unbelievable speed and precision of its transmission, everything about the Corvette Z06 exists for the moment your foot touches the pedal.
The beating, roaring heart of the Corvette Z06 is the 5.5L V8 High-Output flat plane crank engine that delivers 670 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. This monster redlines at 8600 RPM, and its mid-vehicle position means it is beautifully balanced near the rear wheels, the ones with power. The engine is paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, and we know there are plenty of drivers who wish it was an automatic. We enjoy shifting through the gears and having total control over our cars as much as the next guy, but human reactions cannot match the incredible speed and precision of this transmission. Trust us: an automatic would actually slow your acceleration.
Speaking of acceleration, the Corvette Z06 can go from 0 to 60 in a mere 2.6 seconds if you choose a model with the Z07 Performance Package. With enough space, you can experience 1.22 G of lateral G force; fortunately, you have Magnetic Selective Ride Control 4.0 in the Z06 that adapts in a matter of milliseconds to keep you in control at all times. Plus, the Corvette Z06 has standard six-piston front and four-piston rear Brembo brakes to handle that incredible power, ensuring you can stop safely both on the road and the track. All of this comes together to create a sports car that drips with power and is packed full of more muscle than most other drivers can imagine having under their control.
It is easy to get so wrapped up in the remarkable power and gorgeous looks of the Corvette Z06 that you completely forget about other features, but that is a mistake. Take the technology that Chevy has packed into this beauty, for example; this tech provides you with an enhanced driving experience that beautifully complements just how fun the Z06 is to drive. Without these features, this Corvette would still get your heart pounding, but all of this technology helps ensure the smile on your face grows with each passing minute behind the wheel.
Looking at the standard 1LZ model, you get an 8-inch infotainment display with Google built-in, which makes it easy to use with your Google account and apps. The 1LZ supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with a Bose 10-speaker sound system, Mulan leather GT1 bucket seats with perforated inserts, and eight-way power adjustable seating. A 12-inch color Digital Instrument Display provides you with data as you drive, while a head-up display can project information like your speed, gear, navigation, and g-meter onto the windshield.
If you are looking for some advanced features, then the 2LZ trim provides numerous enhancements, such as a wireless charging pad for compatible devices and a 14-speaker Bose Performance Series sound system. The 2LZ also includes a performance data and video recorder that records video and real-time data for playback later so you can review your driving performance and find ways to improve your laps, quarter-mile times, or 0 to 60 mph runs. For the ultimate Corvette experience, the 3LZ trim features even more enhancements, such as GT2 bucket seats with carbon fiber trim featuring Nappa leather surfaces and perforated inserts for heating and ventilation while driving.
One look is all it takes to recognize that the Corvette Z06 is unlike other cars out there, but the more you look, the more you discover to further distinguish this beauty. Every design element and choice in creating the Corvette reinforces its status as an unmatched high-performance vehicle, which is why it looks as powerful as it is. For example, while some people questioned the shorter nose of the mid-engine Corvette, compared to the longer iconic front-end of previous generations, it gives it a distinct style. More than that, the shorter front end works beautifully to give you an incredible view of the road while you drive; this adds to the sense that you are flying over the pavement in a spaceship rather than driving a car.
This front-end is about more than how long it is, however, because you also have its wide stance with wider fenders, quarter panels, and fascias than the standard Corvette. The Z06 is built for power and speed, which it reveals from the moment you first set eyes upon it. On the other end, you have details like the quad center exhaust that help improve performance while also looking stunning—again, every design decision reinforces its power. Add details like the side airflow panels, plus every graceful curve and swoop of the Corvette Z06, and you have a vehicle that tells its story visually and with its performance.
Then, just to cap things off, you have a number of extra details designed to elevate things to another level entirely. For example, coupe models have an available Engine Appearance Package featuring carbon-fiber trim and engine lighting. Since you have a mid-vehicle engine, you might as well show it off—this package beautifully illustrates how well Chevy understands their drivers and what this vehicle represents. We have not even talked about interior design touches like the available suede microfiber-wrapped upper interior trim package or the available Carbon-Fiber Interior trim; no matter where your tastes lie, the Corvette Z06 is ready to meet you there and go the extra mile.
