The Numbers

The 2015 Corvette Z06 sports a supercharged 6.2 liter V8. That's producing 650 horsepower and 650 ft-lbs of torque at the wheels. If you opt for the "performance package," Chevy will add on Michelin pilot sport cups, adjustable aero pieces, and carbon-ceramic brakes as well.

Rainy Night

How fitting is it that the one night Dino gets to test drive this car, it's raining? With that much power and a manual transmission, wet roads can be your best friend or your worst enemy. Luckily Mr. Carbonare was able to keep this powerful Z06 glued to the road.
