Corvette C6 Z06

This is an iconic American car that is recognized around the world when you show people a picture. Famous for its power but not for its handling the boys in the garages have been making some serious improvements to the new Z06. On top of improving the raw figures such as the 504hp rocketing the car 0-60 in 3.8 seconds, and on to 200mph the speed is ever more present, but now the car handles like it was meant to. You can tell Corvettes intentions of making a drivers car when they made this car only available in a 6 speed manual. It’s not for posers and people looking for an easy drive. They want people to really enjoy the engineering and performance which they have worked so hard to achieve, whilst slamming through the gear box and feeling the kick of each gear change. Not only did they change suspension and chassis for better handling but corvette took the power to weight ratio very serious saving weight when they could and lashing the car in carbon-fiber and in some places high strength plastic, which results in the car only weighing just under 1.4 tons. American muscle cars are slowly trying to lose the old reputation for not being able to handle corners and this Z06 is another big step forward in eradicating that reputation.
