Overview
The 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Coupe is a midsize coupe offered in 3 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $79,000. For that price, it mainly competes with the Dodge Viper Coupe. Meanwhile, the Nissan GT-R Coupe and the Ford Shelby GT350 R coupe are also potential rivals. Both rivals have less powerful engines but the former one is the most expensive whereas the latter is the most affordable car among the bunch. Between 3 trims, the Corvette Z06 Coupe offers a single powertrain with two transmissions. It is a 6.2L supercharged V8 engine making 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. However, there is a choice between a 7-speed manual transmission and an 8-speed automatic transmission. The Corvette Z06 Coupe reaches 60 mph from zero in 3.2 seconds with the manual transmission, which gets pumped up to 2.9 seconds with the automatic. The Corvette Z06 Coupe manages a combined fuel economy of 18 MPG with manual transmission and 16 MPG with automatic transmission. While we're on the topic of choices, the 10 striking colors the Corvette Z06 Coupe comes in really pull you towards itself.
