In-Depth 2011 Corvette Z06 Review Video From Motortrend


MotorTrend has just released their in-depth review of the 2011 Z06. Their article and review covers just about everything you’d ever want to know about the Z06, like this snippet here:

“As much as it has to do with the ridiculous power on tap, it’s also the tires. The PS2s are great, but combined with this car’s abilities and an average driver, they’re too good. While they’ll let the right driver experience monumental cornering speeds, the wrong driver will quickly be watching the corner go by through the passenger window. The limits of these tires are extreme, but when you reach them, they let go almost instantly and completely and you’re traveling very, very fast. You’ll be backwards in the weeds before your brain realizes you should be counter-steering. 

Don’t be discouraged, though. You’re not incapable of handling the Z06. You just need a lot more training and a lot more seat time. Above all else, you need a healthy respect for what the car can do and for your personal limits. The term “street-legal race car” is overused in the automotive media, but the Z06 truly deserves that title, for better or worse.”

Check out the video below, and feel free to post your Z06 comments/experience here!
