Overview

The 2018 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Coupe is a midsize coupe offered in 3 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $79,495. For that price, it mainly competes with the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and the Nissan GT-R. Between 3 trims, the Corvette Z06 coupe offers a single powertrain. It is a 6.2L Supercharged V8 engine making 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. However, there is a choice between an 8-Speed Automatic transmission and a 7-Speed Manual Transmission. The Corvette Z06 coupe reaches 60 mph from zero in 2.9 seconds on its base engine, the Corvette Z06 coupe can manage a combined fuel economy between 18 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 9 striking colors the Corvette Z06 coupe comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

We'd recommend the optional Z07 Package($7,995) on the mid-tier 2LZ trim. This package adds more aggressively tuned suspension, carbon-ceramic brakes, bigger and stickier tires, and extra aerodynamic body pieces.
