Under the Hood of the Chevrolet Corvette Z06
Under the hood of this stylish body you will find quite a lot of power.  The Chevrolet Corvette Z06 comes equipped with a 7.0 liter push rod V8 that delivers an incredible 505 horsepower with 470 ft lb torque.  As far as power to weight ratio is concerned this car offers more than the 911 turbo.  In addition, this powerful engine is matched with a nicely done 6 speed manual transmission that redlines at 7K RPM.

As far as speed and acceleration is concerned, get ready to hold onto your hats, this beast reaches 0 to 60 in a very quick 3.7 seconds and still in first gear!  And expect this car to reach speeds of 190 mph+.  Obviously with speed comes control and the Z06 has a very nice chassis and suspension that consists of upper and lower A arms- just like world class race cars.  The engine is hand built and body consists of an aluminum body structure and carbon fiber body components.  Overall this vehicle is a true sports car and at less than $80K, it is not only one of the most powerful vehicles available, but a great bargain.
