2015 Corvette Z06
Should be pretty fast, the styling looks a little overdone but still looks nice.

1. They released interior pics showing an auto.
2. It's supercharged.
The Z06 has always been the driver's track car, manual only and high revving N/A big block. I don't like the departure from this formula. This, to me, should be the new ZR-1. I understand that Porsche has left their enthusiasts in the dark with the PDK only GT3 and Turbo models, as well as Lamborghini and every other higher end supercar manufacturer, but I'm surprised Chevy will offer an auto on this car. It looks completely bad@ss but still. Not that I'd ever buy one new, I still feel let down. I hope Ford doesn't follow suit on the GT350 or other future Mustang SEs.

Looks mean, and has the specs to back it up.
Some other Info:

- Steel torque tube replaced with woven c/f
- 60% more rigid chassis, with roof on, than C6 Z06
- 2.2" wider front track
- 3" wider rear track
- Wheel and tire sizes from C6 ZR1
- 3 levels, with varying degrees of aero downforce, with the Z07 version having more d/f than any production car GM's tested in their wind tunnel
- Compact 1.7L supercharger capable of 20,000 rpm and 9.5 psi of boost
- Pre-production versions set lap records @ Milford, beating ZR1 lap times

Looks amazing. Way overdone but not really tacky. The automatic option makes sense because most people that can afford this car are old rich farts that won't be able to clutch this monster. Would really prefer to see a dual clutch gearbox instead of an auto trans but it should be a fantastic performer either way.

If they put a solid DCT in there itd make much more sense. Even more capability everyday and on the track. While i really like (almost love it lol) i wish theyd have done something with a more functional rear diffuser. Corvette Racing team inspired and it TRULY would have been a monster.

Maybe as a 2016-2017 model. Could have the same powerplant but maybe a touch bigger supercharger and more daily drivability and creature comforts compared to the track-bred Z06. Fingers Crossed
Either way the new vette is out and taking the world by storm. The Viper is still a strong player in left field. We just need Ford to roll out a new GT to get back into the (near) supercar game.
