We knew the 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 can be particular. However even dwelling with a “common” C8 Corvette for a 12 months and slightly over 40,000 miles did not adequately put together us for how particular. We realized that after spending a day at Grattan Raceway and testing each a convertible Z06 and a coupe Z06 outfitted with the Z07 bundle for this video.

Like we stated: Onerous to consider.
