Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Wins 2016 AutoGuide.com Reader's Choice Sports Car of the Year Award
The performance-oriented Chevrolet Corvette Z06 has taken home top honors as the 2016 AutoGuide.com Reader’s Choice Sports Car of the Year.
Powered by a supercharged 6.2-liter V8, the Z06 cranks out an enormous 650 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque. Besides having the most downforce of any Chevy product and the slickest legally available road tires, the Z06 has brakes that are so strong, they will blow your mind.
“Call it old-school, dated or traditional. If you own a Z06, you won’t care,” says Mike Schlee, AutoGuide.com‘s road test editor. “Instead, you’ll be too busy setting blistering lap times. It’s stupid fast and the capabilities of this machine are ridiculous. This is the new super ‘Vette and it’s out for blood.”
