Comparing the C8 Corvette Z06 to an EV, even one as quick as a Tesla Model 3 in the quarter-mile, is a challenging task. The Corvette boasts one of the most glorious mechanical sounds you’ll ever hear in the planet.
The Corvette Z06 boasts a mid-mounted 5.5-liter V8 engine producing 670 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission sending power to the rear wheels, this flat-plane crank V8 propels the Corvette Z06 from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds.
In a video by the Wheels YouTube channel, the 2023 C8 Corvette Z06 takes on a Tesla Model 3, a Chevrolet pickup truck, and a 2014 Dodge Challenger in a drag race. Watch the video to witness how the Corvette Z06 performed against these formidable competitors.
