I still remember driving the C8 Corvette Stingray<\/a> and realizing what a game changer it is. For under $70,000, the Corvette Stingray offers customers a mid-engine supercar with 500 horsepower, a dual-clutch transmission, and a 0-60 mph time of under three seconds. I distinctly remembering asking myself \u201cWhy would anyone buy an M4 instead?\u201d I still don\u2019t have an answer to that question. So now that the Corvette Z06 has been revealed, and journalists have gotten their grubby paws on it, a new question arises\u2014why would anyone buy an M4 CSL<\/a> instead?<\/p>\n

American Supercar<\/h3>\n

Here\u2019s the rundown of the new 2023 Corvette Z06<\/a> really quick. It\u2019s a wider, lower, stiffer, more track-focused version of the C8 Corvette and it gets an all-new engine. For the first time in history, Chevrolet is offering a flat-plane crank V8, replacing the old cross-plane crank, pushrod V8s of yesteryear. Because of that new flat-plane crank design, the new 5.5-liter V8 revs to 8,500 rpm and makes 670 horsepower. From a naturally aspirated engine. That actually makes it the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 in the world. According to Chevy, the Z06 nails 60 mph in 2.6 seconds. That\u2019s faster than any production BMW in history.<\/p>\n
