A Big Step Forward: The 2006 Corvette

The 2006 Corvette is an amazing car, in my opinion; best job chevrolet has done on a corvette since the 1960s and they deserve some praise for it im an absolute chevoholic and whose passion in life is old muscle cars but this car deserves a lot of respect its has got the which it takes to keep up with most 1960s Vettes.

After running some software based tests using the weight and power of the 2006 Corvette ZO6, I’ve really been impressed, and no easy feat, if the car has the advertised power at the wheel it should be capable of 11.969 inches. the ¼ mile, and that’s impressive, it’s as impressive as the Viper has ever been, and it does, and it’s still one of the best-handling cars on the planet, based on skid-deck testing.

The Corvette ZO6 scored a 1.2G on the skid pad, which means that at full throttle it would take 1.2 times the car’s weight to slide it 1 inch sideways, and another impressive number, the ZO6 continues to spit out those numbers. Awesome, the next spec I’ll discuss is this car’s 0-60 time, which happens to be 3.4 seconds, not a weak number at all, most European cars won’t beat that number.

So when you come across these assholes who think they can beat you, just because they have a BMW, Mercedes, or some other imported car, probably not on the ¼ mile, not on a road track, and certainly not on the skid, the ZO6 Corvette is a true super car, it is simply designed so that the common person can afford to buy one and drive it, it happens to a great car with a lot going for it.

Just wait until Chevrolet gets into the second and third generation of this car, and see what they do, they are better at coming up with new and impressive ideas, while keeping the car in an affordable price range, can you imagine what an import, that it can do what the ZO6 would cost you to buy, it wouldn’t be in the $60,000 range, and that’s where the Corvette is, just try to name me an import car with the same level of performance and level of excitement of the Corvette for the same money, impossible HUH?

The ZO6 truly is a car for the masses, a car a muscle car man would enjoy driving and a car a sports car man would be very happy with, it really is a car any car fan would be happy to own and drive. I know it would, with the first limited run of these cars it was very hard to get one as only platinum Chevrolet dealers got them and even at that rate they only got one or two of each and in this town the dealership owners took them home.

Here’s a word for all of you, no Sayers, the ZO6 Corvette is not an easy target, in the 24 hours of Lemans last year it came first and second respectively, which was ahead of Porsche, BMW and a few others. Called the best and most advanced cars on the market, if this were the case then you’d think they’d have no problem beating the Corvette, but they do, and will continue to do so.

Because Chevrolet has a relentless desire to win, and no matter what you think of the Corvette, it’s a winning race car, and has been for a long time, it will continue to do so as long as Chevrolet continues to work on the performance aspects. Of that, Chevy is the master at squeezing more power out of an engine, and they have been for a long time, regardless of what you may think, it is a proven fact that Chevrolet has built the winningest engines in this country.
