One of the most legendary American sports cars, the Chevrolet Corvette is in its seventh generation. With one of the best chassis in the business, powerful V8 engines, and loaded with technology, the Corvette C7 is more than capable of beating European competitors. These include the Porsche 911, Mercedes AMG GT, or the Jaguar F-Type. While most users find the base 430 hp Corvette powerful enough, there is the mighty Corvette Z06 version for those who want more (via Road and Track).

Equipped with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 with 635 horsepower, a comprehensive body kit, an active aerodynamics package, and a host of other performance modifications, the Z06 is a proper sports car beast. The specifications of the Z06 are equally impressive. The top speed is close to 200 mph and the 0 to 60 mph sprint takes about 3.3 seconds. However, behind those stellar numbers and perfect sports car design lies the beast’s heart, and the Z06 is a hard car to control. Enormous power and torque, lightweight chassis, and brutal power delivery make the Corvette Z06 a nervous machine. To fully extract every bit of performance from this model, you need to be an experienced race driver or a magician.
