The 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is now rolling off the assembly line<\/a>, and the YouTube channel Speed Phenom wasted no time strapping one to a dyno.<\/p>\n

Speed Phenom drove a Z06 coupe to Dallas, Texas, and straight onto the dyno at Dallas Performance. After multiple pulls, it registered best figures of 610 hp and 419 lb-ft of torque at the wheels. That’s compared to the factory-quoted output of 670 hp<\/a>\u00a0at 8,400 rpm and 460 lb-ft of torque at 6,300 rpm at the crank.<\/p>\n

It was an impressive performance considering that power was measured at the wheels rather than the crank, and that the Z06 was dyno tested right after being driven a long distance without any special prep. The car also achieved an estimated 190 mph in fifth gear, meaning the 8-speed dual-clutch transaxle had eight gears to go.<\/p>\n

Even more impressive is that the Z06’s 5.5-liter V-8, code-named LT6, makes this power through revs rather than forced induction. Sporting double overhead cams and a flat-plane crankshaft, the LT6 is capable of revving to 8,600 rpm, when fuel shut-off occurs. As demonstrated in the embedded video, it does that with a sound that puts modern Ferrari V-8s to shame.\u00a0<\/p>\n
