In a recent video, Joe Raiti got to explore a very special spec C8 Corvette Z06 finished in the rare and striking Amplify Orange Tintcoat. The Z06 continues to command attention despite the arrival of the new ZR1 and the upcoming ZR1X. Its appeal lies in the naturally aspirated 5.5L flat-plane crank V8, which screams to an 8,600 RPM redline, delivering 670 horsepower, 460 lb-ft of torque, 0–60 mph in 2.6 seconds, and a top speed of nearly 190 mph.
This example emphasizes clean, low-downforce styling over the aggressive pedestal wing, showcasing the Z06’s sculpted lines. The car wears a carbon-fiber front aero package, gloss black Y-spoke forged wheels, and carbon-ceramic Brembo brakes with massive 15.7-inch rotors up front. Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires (275-width in the front, 345 at the rear) provide serious grip, while the MagneRide suspension and electronic limited-slip differential ensure precise handling.
Inside, the 3LZ interior features premium touches, including GT2 sport seats upholstered in leather and Alcantara with carbon-fiber accents, contrast stitching, Bose premium audio, wireless charging, a digital rearview mirror, and a range of carbon trim elements. The 70th Anniversary badge is present throughout, and details like orange seat belts add character.
