2018 Chevrolet Corvette Z06

Pros: Spectacular performance; prices are reasonable compared to class competitors; nicely finished interior; impressive technology features

Cons: Limited rear visibility; limited interior storage space; low-set seats can make entry and exit tricky

CG Says: The 2018 Chevrolet Corvette is little changed. Nineteen-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels are now standard, which replace the previously standard18-inch/19-inch wheels. An available Z30 Carbon 65 Edition package celebrates Corvette’s 65th anniversary. HD digital radio is newly standard. Chevrolet’s iconic 2-seat sports car comes in coupe and convertible form, in Stingray, Stingray Z51, Grand Sport, and Z06 models. Stingrays are powered by a 455-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 (which has 460 hp with the available dual-mode exhaust system). Grand Sport has the 460-hp version of the base engine. The super-performance Z06 model boasts a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 with 650 horsepower, an upgraded suspension, and lots of exclusive high-performance hardware. Although there are a handful of cars that are quicker than the Corvette, most cost multiples as much. As such, the Corvette makes its mark as a performance bargain. But it’s really much more than that. It’s also a comfortable touring car with luxurious interior, decent cargo space, and all the latest infotainment gizmos.
