Today marks the first look at the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. This car is the car that Vette fan’s dreams are made of. We don’t want to bog you down with a detailed play-by-play about what the new Vette has to offer so here’s the breakdown of what you can look forward to in the new Z06,

You get 625 horsepower out of a supercharged 6.2 Liter V8 engine that’s 120 horse upgrade from the previous version. There’s a new 8 speed automatic transmission (although the traditional stick shift is available.) This is a quote from Chevy pertaining to the new 8 speed,

“The automatic can upshift more quickly than the dual-clutch transmission offered in the Porsche 911.”

Chevrolet has also taken a few tips from the aftermarket play book with the new Z07 Performance Package.

“Z07 offers additional aerodynamic features, as well as better tires and brakes over non-Z07 equipped Z06s. When equipped with the Z07 package, the 2015 Corvette Z06 is faster around the track than the mighty 638-horsepower Corvette ZR1.”
