2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Review – San Antonio TX
2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Overview
Fans of American sports cars have been abuzz since Chevrolet introduced the eighth-generation Corvette for the 2020 model year. This mid-engine beast was exotic and fast, and it rivaled high-end European sports cars at a fraction of the price. Still, we wanted more, and one of the most common questions we received at Ancira Winton Chevrolet over the last several years was where is the Z06. Sure, there had been various race editions, such as the Z51 and the limited-run C8.R, but there was no Z06, which had long served as the race-track edition of our beloved Vette. Well, that all changed in October 2021, and with that in mind, we present our early 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 review.
Exterior – Chevrolet Dealer serving San Antonio TX
The Z06 has a storied tradition of being visually distinct from the main model, and our 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 review reveals that this edition will be no exception. What jumps out most is just how much wider this track edition is over the standard model. While we do not have measurements available as of this writing, the images reveal that the fenders, quarter panels and front and rear fascias are all notably wider. That provides the Z06 a much difference stance and aesthetic. These changes are not all show and no go, however. According to Chevrolet engineers, each change has been purposefully made to reduce aerodynamic drag and to better cool the engine, transmission and other powertrain elements.
Interior – 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 in San Antonio TX
This San Antonio dealer review of the Z06 is indeed early. The 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is still in the preproduction phase. While the information presented here is accurate of this writing, it is subject to change, and we have also incorporated a fair bit of speculation to fill in the gaps. Like the current Stingray, the Z06 will be available as either a two-passenger coupe or a two-passenger convertible. Front headroom will be about 38 inches, and front legroom will be about 43 inches. While the cabin is fundamentally similar to the Stingray, the release video and images revealed a number of stylistic and functional changes, including a squared steering wheel, dedicated buttons on the center console, a new layout for the analog and digital instrumentation cluster and special accent stitching.
Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Mechanical specs
There is a lot still yet to learn about the mechanical nature of the Z06, but one thing is clear, and that is that the Z06 will have a rear drive layout. We also know that Chevrolet engineers have integrated removable downforce elements. The Chevrolet media mentions a front fascia panel, front underwing stall gurneys, rear brake cooling ducts and spoiler wickerbills.
Powertrain – Chevrolet Dealership in San Antonio TX
Powertrain is certainly an aspect of this San Antonio dealer review that garners a great deal of attention, and this one of the areas where we have the most details. Chevrolet announced during the reveal that the Z06 would have an exclusive 5.5L V8 that doles out an estimated 670 horsepower. For comparison, the current 6.2L V8 makes 490 hp. The standard model pairs its engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The Z06 will as well, but this one will have a dual clutch. It is also notable that not only will you have the horsepower power increase but that the weight of the vehicle will be lowered as well.
Safety – 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 dealer
On the flip side, safety and tech in general is probably the area we know the least about the 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. We do know that it will have a color HD touchscreen with voice recognition, integrated navigation and both Apple and Android device integration. It features a valet mode as standard equipment. It will have a rearview monitor and a performance data recorder that you can use on the track but also to capture video while driving around town. Rear parking sensors will also be standard, and known options include blind-spot monitoring and a more advanced rearview camera.
