Chevrolet Corvette Z06
The Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is one of the top performers of the Corvette range and it is also one of the most refined. In the used cars market it offers top value for money.
With 7 litres of engine power under the bonnet producing a magnificent 505 bhp, along with a good power weight ratio you can drag your way up to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds – and the sound of the exhaust as you do so just has to be heard to be believed. There is a six speed manual gearbox and a limited slip differential.
It feels great on the road too and gives a perfectly acceptable degree of comfort, although it could do with a little more space in the cabin and particularly tall drivers might find it a bit restrictive.
Naturally with this amount of power on tap you should not expect too much in terms of fuel economy. The 7 Litre Corvette is probably the archetypal gas guzzler particularly if you are inclined to put it through its paces, and there is no point in owning one if you are not. In fact it is one of those cars in which quoting fuel economy is more or less pointless as it is so dependent on how you drive the vehicle. If you want to save petrol, then drive sedately on a motorway, or better still buy something else. This beast loves to drink fuel and in return provides power, buckets of it.
Overall the 2007 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 provides excellent value for money and allows you to experience supercar performance at ordinary car price. Also if you enjoy track racing then this little beast will power you all the way up to 200mph and it also has brakes that are appropriate to track driving at those speeds.
All in all, if you just want a top performing road car that will turn heads in your direction, then the Corvette Z06 is guaranteed to please.
