Drive a Corvette at the NCM Motorsports Park!

When it comes to driving any modern Corvette, there are few experiences more thrilling than putting one of these amazing machines thru its paces on a racetrack. Since the introduction of the fourth-generation Corvette in 1984, Chevrolet has continuously “raised the bar” on America’s Sports Car in terms of handling, horsepower, and performance.

The engineering team behind the fifth-generation Corvette introduced the world to the Z06 in 2001. It was the first production Corvette specifically developed for the racetrack, and with 385hp (and 405hp beginning in 2002), it is still regarded as one of the best track-capable Corvettes ever built. The sixth-generation Corvette advanced that technology, introducing an even higher-performance Z06 and, later, the  ZR1 Corvette, a 638 horsepower behemoth that was marketed as the “most powerful production Corvette, EVER” (at least up to that point in time.) The seventh-generation Corvette quickly topped that, evolving in large part from a partnership with Pratt & Miller (the engineering group responsible for building the Corvette race cars that compete in IMSA, WEC, and elsewhere). As with the C6 before it, the C7 Stingray also included a Z06, this time boasting 650 horsepower, and a 755 horsepower Corvette ZR1 for the seventh-gen’s final production year.
