Man Attempts Corvette Z06 Burnout, Roasts Clutch Instead

There are after-the-fact clues this Corvette Z06's clutch is doomed: the driver doesn't notice the odor of frying clutch when burning rubber should be there, then pops the trunk to look under the hood. There's much pain in the video. More »

I'm Bat-Vette!

Baddie: Who are you? Bat-Vette: I'm 505 horsepower! Or actually I'm just a Batman-themed 2007 Corvette Z06. Either way, this maimed-out Z06 with Batman-themed logos was caught by the talented lens-work of Windy City photographer Jeremy Cliff. More »

Chevy Reveals 2008 Corvette 427 Limited Edition Z06, Now With Red Metallic Paint

Click here to read Chevy Reveals 2008 Corvette 427 Limited Edition Z06, Now With Red Metallic Paint
Oh god no — please Chevy, don't go down Mustang Road. We're really hoping Corvette's not heading down the same road as the Ford pony car — with random "limited-production" runs hitting the stage of random small-market auto shows. But then we see this number straight from the Ford playbook — the 2008 Corvette 427 Limited Edition Z06. This new 'vette, unveiled at the Cleveland Auto Show (we mean Cleveland rocks, but who knew?) is supposed to pay homage to the big-block Stingray from the mid-1960's with the "427" signifying the cubic-inch displacement of the biggest of the big-blocks offered between 1966 and 1969 and also happens to be the cubic-inch equivalent of the Z06's 7.0-liter small-block V8. Yup, nothing says big-block like big small blocks. But what else makes this here Z06 special? Nothing really. Well, not nothing, but can we really count Crystal Red Tintcoat paint? Yes, it may be the first Z06 ever offered with a red metallic tintcoat paint — but does it need it's own model to do it? Perhaps not. Full press release detailing all the new details — like "427" stitching on the seats and the fact they'll only build 505 of them (nice HP reference) with only 427 of them available in the U.S. — from the General below the jump. Did we mention "427" may be the mark of the devil? Just sayin'... More »

Emerson Fittipaldi to Drive Corvette Z06 E85 Concept Pace Car at 2008 Indy 500

Click here to read Emerson Fittipaldi to Drive Corvette Z06 E85 Concept Pace Car at 2008 Indy 500
The General's bargain brand will again be running Indianapolis Motor Speedway as the official pace car for the Indy 500. This year — the 92nd running of the race — there'll be two Corvettes serving as the official pace cars. Pace car numero uno is a customized Chevrolet Corvette Z06 concept that runs on E85 ethanol and will be driven during the race's pace lap by two-time Indianapolis 500 champion Emerson Fittipaldi. The second pace car will be the Corvette 30th Anniversary Pace Car featuring a black exterior with silver graphics honoring the 1978 model - no word yet on who'll be driving that one. How do we put our hat in the ring? Full press release after the jump. More »

Jeep JT Concept vs 2008 Corvette Z06: What Should Wert Drive To His High School Reunion?

I was the fat kid in high school. There, I said it. In fact, I was what you'd call "unpopular" — I'd never get invited to the parties, never got the date with the cheerleader and most certainly never drove the cool car. But all that pent-up pain and angst finally has the opportunity to release itself this Saturday with my high school reunion at Como's in Ferndale, MI. You see, a reunion's the perfect place to finally get one's comeuppance on the "cool kids" — whether it's through losing weight, taking the cheerleader with you or driving a cool car. I'll be trying to do all three — but for purposes of our loyal readers here at Jalopnik the a priori issue at hand is the car. And luckily, I happen to, as an auto journalist hack pundit blogger, have a decent number of options in front of me. I've narrowed my choices down to two diametrically opposite vehicles — the Jeep JT concept and the new 2008 Corvette Z06. Now here's the fun part — I want your advice as to what you think I should be rolling up to Como's in and then later today we'll be asking you what car you'd drive if you had unlimited options in a very special high school reunion edition of the Question of the Day. Then on Monday, come back here and we'll find out which one I ended up rolling down Woodward Avenue in and why. For the time being check out the shots below of the two choices and then hit the jump for the poll to help us answer the question at hand: More »

SEMA 2007: Jay Leno's 600 HP E85-Powered Corvette C6RS Revealed Before SEMA Debut

Click here to read SEMA 2007: Jay Leno's 600 HP E85-Powered Corvette C6RS Revealed Before SEMA Debut
Jay Leno apparently was unwilling to wait for the new 2009 Corvette ZR1 and decided he needed to get his 600-HP swerve on a wee bit early. The humongously chinned one worked with the C6.R-builders at Pratt & Miller to design this — a C6RS — a Corvette inspired by both the Corvette Z06 as well as the racetrack-ready C6.R. To all this, Leno added his own little touch of corniness — the ability to run it on the ethanol-blended E85. Leno's alternative-fuel supercar is powered by a custom and giant 8.2-liter (500 cubic-inch) all-aluminum small-block V8 that pumps out approximately 600 horses and 585 lb-ft of torque. On the outside, the wider front and rear fenders and a wider rear fascia with an integrated spoiler on top combine with the racing-style diffuser and the waterfall hood with venting show some clear indications of C6.R inspiration. All we know is we want to drive this more than the Leno-inspired Ecojet concept car from last year. Full press release after the jump. More »
