If you believe performance rules over luxury, then you’ll enjoy watching this stock C7 Z06 blow the doors off a bolt on Cadillac CTS-V.

Nobody said owning the new Z06 was supposed to be cheap, even when it comes to keeping that baby fueled up.

This one’s for all the trolls out there talking trash about the new Z06 Corvette: 10.77, bone stock, baby, with only 550 miles on the odometer.

The inspiring video, “Why We Race,” highlights racing’s impact on the production of the Corvette, while suggesting that any performance improvements to be made to the C7 and Z06 will likely come from the racetrack as well.

Not even Jay Leno can resist the temptation of hammering down on the pedal when driving the new Z06. Nor can he avoid that dreaded stop by the police that can accompany it.

This PDR video of Senior Corvette Forum Member Cyclone09Z06 driving his stock Z06 with the Z07 package at Performance Driving Group HPDE is almost as entertaining as riding shotgun.

We’ve come across some of the first consumer-shared Performance Data Recorder (PDR) footage of a quarter-mile run in the new Corvette Z06, and it’s pretty entertaining to watch.
