If you’ve popped a couple of brave pills the finely-tuned, track-ready Corvette Z06 sails over the $300K threshold at $336,000, before on-roads, and gets serious with inclusions like top-spec multimedia, Nappa leather-trimmed GT2 sports seats, borderline F1-size rubber and heaps more.
Practicality is a relative term when you’re talking about a two-seat sports car, but there’s plenty of space and breathing room for two, and storage is okay. Think door pockets with room for bottles (laid down), two cupholders (under a flip-up lid), a console box with USB-A and -C as well as an aux plug and an SD card slot plus a good size glove box and a wireless charger between the seats. There’s a frunk in the nose and an appreciably larger rear boot for a combined volume total of 357 litres.
The Z06 is propelled by a 5.5-litre ‘LT6’ atmo V8. A highly-tuned, high-compression unit featuring dual overhead cams, titanium rods, a flat-plane crank and stainless steel tubular headers for peak power of no less than 475kW arriving at 8400rpm and 595Nm of pulling power.
Official combined cycle (urban/extra-urban) fuel consumption is just under 16.0L/100km.
As well as AEB and active cruise, the Z06 now features forward collision alert, lane-keeping assistance, follow distance indicator and intelligent auto high beam, joining rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring and tyre pressure monitoring. The airbag count is four, front and side for driver and passenger.
GMSV’s three-year/100,000km warranty for the Corvette is lame in 2024. Even Porsche and McLaren, which also lag the field, are at three years with unlimited kilometres, while others are at five years or unlimited kays. Service is recommended every 12 months/12,000km.
