During every intensely focused turn on the track and heart-pumping acceleration off the line, the all-new C8-generation Corvette Stingray has been out for two years now and has earned a very excited and devoted following. The Z06 version has been in question here at the Mid-Missouri Powerhouse and at many other dealers nationwide: many car fans are wondering just how incredibly awesome and earthshaking this model brandishing a 5.5-liter naturally aspirated flat-plane V8 will be.
To properly let fans know about all of the exciting models coming soon, we headed over to the GearPatrol.com website that provides drivers with the latest and greatest in terms of high-octane events. The Z06 is supposed to be moving closer to production in the coming weeks, and it was recently reported that a knowledgeable source from the Mid-Engine Corvette Forum had keyed fans into the fact that Chevy will soon be placing Corvette Z06 N50s straight into the production line next to Stingrays at GM's Bowling Green Assembly plant.
The post closely notes that one of the factors being tested will be how the flow and speed of the line can handle the Z06's widebody makeup and the side scoops that reside at about 5/8 of an inch wider than the Stingray. It's still not certain whether or not the Z06 will hit dealers until late 2020 or early 2021, and we are situated on the brink of exciting times for sure as the progression and constant evolution of the new Corvette line take place. What every long-time Corvette fan is sure of is that this Z06 will sound unlike any 'Vette that has come before it, and have a trademark sinister look thanks to larger air scoops as well as a complete rework of the aerodynamics working in favor of high-speed downforce and valuable cornering traction.
The entire structure and suspension will be re-tuned to make sure every possible advantage is made obvious on the racetrack, and the talented engineers on behalf of the Bow Tie brand all went above and beyond to be certain that the interior is thrillingly driver-focused. When the most experienced drivers in the world have claimed that just a few seconds inside the C8 allowed them to drink in a well-honed place to originate steering and acceleration from that was instantly game-changing, the questions began stacking up as to when the Z06 would arrive and what exactly it would appear and drive like.
The finished package is sure to include a 12.0-inch fully digital gauge cluster, heated and ventilated seats, a heads-up display, and the high-tech convenience of wireless charging. As you are careening down the track or precariously winding road of your choice, you'll have your pick of a standard 10-speaker Bose stereo system or an optional 14-speaker setup to provide your personalized choice of inspiring tunes for the journey.
