This 2011 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Carbon is a hand-built prototype consists of a 2010 Corvette Z06 and a large box of parts, so it could not be driven on public roads. It even came with us in a trailer, complete with its own Chevrolet bodyguard. So our only option was a good deal of experience on a test track on the tarmac of the Auto Club Speedway and winding road to the streets of Willow. Poor us.
Only to get a little perspective on the state of all things Corvette, we asked the 2010 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport, which all things we like about the Z06 Vette, and none of the things that we are not. And as a baseline, we up our 2002 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, uses a simple, $ 20,000 C5 Vette rocks that will kick in fronted nearly every other car on the road.

The things we do for science.
Z07 + = fall cfz Carbon (Almost) 500 lucky people will accept a 505-hp 2011 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Carbon conduct, and not while the cars unique wine (be recoverable compromise a bit), it is very special.
Even if you are not the lucky Dog Club, you can include almost twice the carbon of ordering a 2011 Corvette Z06 with the Z07 Performance Package $ 9495, active suspension, staggered 19 – and 20-inch wheels, Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires and Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes. And if you want to look right, you can add the $ 3,995 cfz appearance package, a front aero splitter, rocker skirts, roof spoiler and the ZR1 style (all carbon fiber cover). Just add this stand-alone options for a 2011 Z06 Base MSRP of $ 75,255 means that you could keep your Z06 Carbon Building for only $ 88,745 to close.
GM tells us that the prix fixe or à la carte carbonized versions of the title-ready Z06 ZR1 is below the MSRPs of the supercharged Corvette. We asked representatives of GM and the addition of a $ 30,000 bonus at the base of the Z06, the prices were approximately equal one carbon – about $ 105,255 in total. They say only that the Corvette Z06 are the norm on Carbon 2011 Corvette Z06 and $ 75,255 under the 2011 ZR1 prices will be available is $ 110 750.

Cars 2 and 3
The 2010 Corvette Grand Sport, the second car in the Corvette apalooza comparison carries a base MSRP of $ 55,720. It is in the testing, which had since our last encounter with the model, well, sub-optimal, because the test car came with a sprained toe on a bicycle link lame, we decided that we would IT 436 HP Corvette C6 model of a non- over.
Finally, we brought our own long-term test car, a 2002 Corvette Z06, which had yet to be tested, because we had tried for months, get a detonation problem. to determine after a few months of fruitless, entertaining and educational efforts for the ping, we have the MAF sensor was discovered damaged. Once repaired, a ping-free dyno test showed that we are actually a very healthy eight years old Z06. Originally rated at 405 hp, makes the C5 Vette a solid 382 hp at the rear wheels! After a much delayed and now alignment displaying more than 45,000 miles on it, was our show ready Z06, which could do the old school.
