Chevy STOLE Ferrari's Engine To Destroy The Competition
When we heard that Chevrolet was going to build a naturally aspirated V8 that pumped out 670 HP... we thought they were joking.
Well, the joke is on us, because the LT6 V8 in the Z06 Corvette is dominating the supercar space.

Would you buy this or a Ferrari?!
If the Z06 is crazy, imagine what the ZR1 will be like.
Congrats from Australia on the C8 and it’s high performance versions. The US should pat itself on the back for this piece of engineering.
Ferrari is using GM electric steering and magnetic suspension.
I say this as someone who isn't a GM fanboy. This car is amazing in every way, including the styling. I wouldn't feel short changed owning one of these versus any other super car out there. I do like the Ferrari styling the most out of any of the mid-engine cars, but they're notoriously unreliable. With this you get the performance, you get the cheaper price and you get the GM reliability and parts support. I say this understanding that an engine replacement would be catastrophically expensive, but then again it wouldn't be such a special car otherwise. Similar equation with the GT350 from Ford. That VooDoo engine and the sound it makes, makes it worth every penny they charged for that car and then some.
Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06, Ah yes the “ultimate budget Supercar slayer”
I was a project engineer at GM when they started developing the LT6 (wasn't on the project itself, was working on a truck engine). It was great seeing the block and heads working through the prototype machine shop. And yes, in the competitive analysis lab, there was a Ferrari 458 engine torn down. But this is nothing to get excited about. Every engine manufacturer buys their competitors engines to study.
Uh nope. The first flat plane crank engine was Cadillacs design, which happens to be a GM brand. GM has so many patents on engine design its hard to remember where all of this started from in the first place.
The ZO6 would really be a bargin, if the dealors weren't scalping them!
I got the word yesterday that my dealer just received a Z06 allocation and my C8 Z06 order will be rolling through the Bowling Green factory in late December! I was starting to get pretty depressed having sold my C7 Z06 eight months ago and didn't think the new Z06 would become a reality for years. Amazing turn of events, super stoked.
Corvette being supercar slayer for years 💥💥
The Z06 is my dream car but I wonder what they will do for the ZR1. imagine a rocket strapped to the back and packing 1000HP.
I’m still waiting on a C8 stingray. I can’t wait it’s now my ultimate favorite car of all time everytime I see one I just get starstruck. It looks like an exotic and performs like one as well. The Z06 is my next dream car but a C8 in general is my dream car. I think I will literally shed a tear when mine finally shows up.
The C8 Z06 design brief dates all the way back to 2015 as the original concept. They did use the 458 and 911 GT2/3 as benchmarks. Also, the exhaust tech alone and the Z07 package spec moreover is pretty wild.
Terrific job explaining the pros and cons of each engine configuration. It all makes sense now...
‘’Courage taught me no matter how bad a crisis gets ... any sound investment will eventually pay off."
IMO the LT6 is the most amazing part of the C8 ZO6.
That engine is real nice :) My favourite engine is the Cosworth RA 6.5ltr V12 Engine. 1,000bhp/NA and spins to 11,100 rpm. It also meets the EU's very strict latest emissions standards. Sounds like an F1 car too!
Ill start by saying I am NOT a GM fanatic, but I do appreciate the machine... this was a great video. Thank you for your production. Keep up the awesome work!
I own a c7 with a 7sp manual. I’ll think about a c8 zo6 after my hip and knee wears out but not before.
