Perhaps the biggest competitor to the 2023 C8 Corvette Z06 is the C7-generation Z06, which was a supercharged, supercar slaying monster that definitely left a mark in the automotive history books as one of the all-time greats.
The C7 Corvette Z06 was produced from 2015 to 2019. It stretches the performance envelope for Corvette with unprecedented levels of aerodynamic downforce – and it was the first Corvette Z06 to offer a supercharged engine, an eight-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission and, thanks to a stronger aluminum frame, a removable roof panel.
The LT4 supercharged 6.2L V-8 engine is SAE-certified at 650 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 650 lb-ft of torque at 3,600 rpm – making it one of the most powerful production car ever from General Motors and one of the most powerful production cars available in the United States.
