As the most powerful car ever produced by General Motors, the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 should be a blast to drive. To find out if expectations meet reality, Carlos Lago tested the Z06 in the latest episode of the Ignition web series.

As you probably know, the new Z06 ditches the naturally aspirated V8 of the standard Corvette Stingray for a supercharged unit producing 650 hp and 650 lb-ft (880Nm) of torque, which means that in terms of performance, the Z06 can also be considered as a successor to the C6 ZR1.

However, the new Z06 is less intimidating as the ZR1, with Lago describing it less scary but faster and more fun to drive than the previous generation Corvette’s flagship model.

Obviously, the review has a lot more on the 2015 Corvette Z06 – actually, about everything you need to know about Chevy’s supercar.
