Pros
Unbeatable performance for the price
The coupe's generous cargo space
Comfortable ride quality for a sports car

Cons
Missing some of the latest driver safety aids
Interior quality isn't quite at the level of its overseas competitors

If you like blistering acceleration, road holding grip equal to a full blown race car, an interior fitting to a luxury jet, overall aggressive looks that rival any super car, look no further. Corvette ZO6 Coupe will deliver all this and more.

Wow I just read the posts and realized... the Z06 comes in other colors than Torch Red???? Nice... lol I had to add that some of the new driving aids like lane sensing, etc. etc. in a 650HP car in say sport or track mode, would be hazardous to your health given this cars hypersensitive handling input in these modes.. The car assists you very well for a performance car. Speaking only for myself I am not in the market nor ready for a self driving Corvette right now..

This has a better background at least. The metallic paint does not show well in photos.

Very nice car. I noticed that it appears to be missing the side skirts and front splitter. The dealer should have installed those as they come with the car.

It looks naked! Get your side skirts and splitter installed! The side skirts will prevent sand blasting your 1/4 panels and doors with rocks.
