So Corvette Z06s are now in production with the vaunted LT4 engine. BIG numbers released by GM. How does it REALLY perform? Well, Randy Pobst had a recent opportunity to find out, running at Road Atlanta in a 7-Speed Stick.

Notice, @ $105K+, this example is the typical "loaded" press version, weighing in at over 3500 lb. Notice, also, the
#2 All-Time Production Figure-8 time of
22.5 seconds,
60-0 Braking of
91', and a
1/4-mile clocking of
11.3 @ 126.2 in the slower 7-Speed version.
1:30 laps @ Road Atlanta is hustling, too.
As a comparison, here's
Car and Driver's take on the Z06, same locale.
