Corvette Z06’s Engine and Performance

2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06

The Chevy Corvette Z06 gets a growling 5.5-liter V-8 engine behind the driver that propels you from 0 to 60 mph in a remarkable 2.6 seconds. One reviewer likened the sound of this powerhouse to a “howl” that will “send shivers down the spines of bystanders.” The Z06 features an eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. The engine puts out an impressive 670 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque.

If you're considering buying this vehicle, you're probably an enthusiastic track racer or someone who likes to shift quickly off the line. We’re guessing that fuel economy probably isn't at the top of your list, at least not when you get behind the wheel of this Corvette. For the record, though, the Z06 achieves 12 mpg in the city and 19 mpg on the highway.

If track racing is your top priority, you’ll want to add the available data recording device. This nifty attribute lets you record your lap times and videos of your performance on the track. And judging by the Corvette Z06’s astonishing numbers, your laps will be completed with impressive times.

This coupe rushes through a quarter mile in 10.5 seconds, reaching a speed of 131 mph. It takes a fleeting 15 seconds to hit 150 mph and 24 seconds to reach 170 mph. Chevy says the Corvette Z06 has a top speed of 189 mph.

Corvette Z06’s Performance Packages

As you'd expect from a supercar, the Z06 offers several performance packages unlocking high-end features, such as improved brakes and upgraded suspension. You can add carbon fiber elements on the exterior, including a spoiler and front splitter. Some packages allow you to add unique color combinations inside the cabin.

Corvette Z06’s Interior

Inside the cabin, Chevy has built the Z06 to stand out. With a square steering wheel and two supportive, comfortable seats, there's no mistaking the Corvette Z06 coupe for anything other than a high-speed sports car. You can upgrade the cockpit with leather upholstery and choose from eight design themes to give the cabin your unique twist.

Behind the mid-sized engine, the Corvette Z06 has a decent-sized trunk for this car segment. There should be enough room at the rear to carry two sets of golf clubs or a similar amount of luggage. The maximum cargo storage space is around 13 cubic feet.

Chevy Infotainment and Safety Tech

This Chevy features an 8-inch infotainment screen that can be paired with one of two premium stereo options from Bose. The first is a 10-speaker unit, while the optional upgrade is a 14-speaker audio system that's sure to impress whether you're listening to music or podcasts. Other standard features include Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. Another helpful detail worth knowing about is monitoring your vehicle's behavior whenever someone else is behind the wheel, such as a valet or relative.

The Corvette Z06 combines high-speed abilities with a range of safety equipment to help you stay safe. These features include blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, a multi-view camera system, and rear parking sensors.

Chevy backs the Corvette Z06 with a three-year, 36,000-mile limited warranty and a five-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty. These warranties are standard for most automakers, covering any defects in workmanship or malfunctioning parts.

Corvette Z06’s Trims

With a base starting price of around $108,000, the Corvette Z06 compares well to supercars from other brands with similar equipment. There are three trims on offer, which can push the price over $150,000. The trims available are 1LZ, 2LZ, and 3LZ.

Many interior features remain the same across the three trims, but you can get trim-specific designs on the doors, infotainment screens, and other cabin parts. The three trims can be combined with various performance packages to build your unique Corvette, including standout exterior styling, high-performance ceramic brakes, or premium leather upholstery.

Other Corvette Options

Chevy has many options if you feel like giving up a touch of high performance to get your hands on a Corvette that's more practical for day-to-day driving. Chevy's standard Corvette also has a V-8 engine capable of putting out 490 horsepower and 450 lb-ft of torque. The Corvette is available as a coupe or convertible, giving you the choice of a manually removable roof panel or a retractable roof.

The standard Corvette has some options for the racetrack, including sculpted sports seats, a front axle lift, and a high-profile rear wing.

How Do You Maintain An Electric Car

Whether you’re thinking about buying an electric car in the near future or you already own an electric vehicle or EV, you need to know what kind of maintenance owning these vehicles entails. You may have heard that electric vehicles require less maintenance than other new vehicles, and it’s true. Still, this doesn’t mean you can keep an EV running with no care at all. View New Chevrolet Bolt EV View New Chevrolet Bolt Euv Tire Rotations and Alignment 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EV One of the most important types of maintenance your EV requires concerns its tires. Many drivers find that they need to rotate their tires about once per year, or every 5,000 to 8,000 miles. Rotating your tires is important because tires do not wear evenly. Not only can uneven tires impact the way your car rides but also the sound your car makes on the road. Your car benefits from spreading wear across all four tires as evenly as possible, and you benefit from not having to spend as much money on tires. Every few years, your car may require alignment services. If you ever notice that your car seems to pull to one side when you remove your hands from the steering wheel, your car may be out of alignment. Your mechanic will likely check for alignment when you have your tires rotated. It’s important that you pay close attention to the tires of your electric vehicle because EVs tend to be heavier than other vehicles. The battery adds a great deal of weight, which can wear on the tires. Pay close attention to any abnormal wear on your tires. Tire Pressure One form of maintenance you may be able to manage on your own is checking and maintaining the proper tire pressure for your vehicle. Your tires need to have the appropriate pressure because it can make your car more efficient and prevent a flat tire or blow-out on the road. While most new cars have sensors that warn drivers about tires with low pressure, it’s important to check your tires and fill them accordingly to prevent tire issues on the road. When you check your tire pressure, you should also inspect your tires for damage and tread issues. Battery Maintenance One of the biggest components of caring for your car comes down to battery maintenance. Every battery has a limit on the number of charging cycles, and some batteries require liquid coolant. You’ll want to have your battery checked out regularly to ensure that your system is safe and efficient. The coolant circuit of your car may need to be drained periodically, but this occurs less often than other types of services. The most expensive replacement any EV owner will likely make is replacing the battery of their vehicle. Battery life will lessen over time, but servicing your battery can ensure that everything is working well for as long as possible. If your battery is under warranty, you’ll likely need to have your battery serviced at scheduled intervals to ensure that your battery is still under warranty. Many people ultimately trade in their vehicles before they have to change the battery. Air Cabin Filter Replacement Your air cabin filter likely needs to be replaced every 15,000 to 30,000 miles. You should also replace your filter more often if you notice that your air conditioner isn’t working as well or if your car always seems to smell bad. Some people may replace their own air cabin filters, but a mechanic can also take care of this step. Windshield Wiper Fluid Replacement Replacing your windshield wiper fluid is one of the easiest steps you can take. Once you have wiper fluid and you know where the fluid reservoir is, you can easily add more fluid. This is also a good time to check your windshield wipers to make sure they’re still working well. If not, you should replace them as well. Brake Inspection One major factor shared between EVs and traditional gas vehicles is the need to check the brakes. Just as you may need to have your brakes replaced or repaired on a traditional car, you’ll also need to have your brakes regularly inspected if you have an EV. It’s a good idea to have your brakes inspected as often as you have your tires rotated. However, the braking system can be different for electric vehicles. They often use regenerative braking systems, which use energy from the car braking to charge the car’s battery. These systems do tend to last longer than traditional brakes, so you may not require inspections as often as you would with other cars. Light Bulb Replacement You’ll also need to replace your light bulbs regularly. Failure to do so could lead to a traffic ticket or unsafe driving, particularly at night if you have a missing headlight. Check your lights often to make sure your bulbs are still in good shape. You can check and replace your bulbs at home or take your vehicle to a shop for a quick appointment. You Can Save Money on Maintenance With an Electric Car There’s a good reason electric vehicles are less likely to need ongoing maintenance. For one, EVs don’t have all the components needing to be serviced. You don’t need an oil change every six months, and you don’t need to service your transmission or cooling system because your car doesn’t have these components. When you buy an electric car, you may pay more upfront than you would for a car that uses gas, but at the same time, you’re saving money on maintaining your vehicle. Before you purchase a new or used car, do the math, and see how much money you can save on oil changes, tune-ups, and other necessary services. Dan Cummins Chevrolet Buick of Paris, Kentucky, knows that maintenance matters when it comes to preserving your car’s life. Check out our selection of electric vehicles to learn more about which cars are available and how you can make sure you know exactly what you’re getting into with an electric vehicle.

2022 Chevrolet Colorado

Chevrolet Pickup Trucks With Great Gas Mileage 2022-2023

Fuel efficiency isn’t always a top priority when purchasing a pickup truck. Often, the towing capacity and payload capabilities trump all other features, including interior design and technology, as well as fuel efficiency. Today’s trucks offer more luxury, comfort, convenience, and better fuel economy options. Here are the Chevy pickup trucks with great gas mileage for 2022-2023. 2022 Chevrolet Colorado 2022 Chevrolet Colorado View Chevrolet Colorado The 2022 Chevrolet Colorado is a midsize truck available as an extended cab with a 6.2-foot bed or a crew cab with a 5-foot or 6.2-foot bed. You can get the Colorado in four trims: WT (Work Truck), LT, Z71, and ZR2. The Colorado offers three engine options for the 2022 model year, each with a different EPA estimate for fuel efficiency. Rear-wheel drive (RWD) is standard, with an available four-wheel drive (4WD) for better traction and control over more challenging conditions and surfaces. The base engine is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 200 horsepower and 191 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission found in all extended cab options for the 2022 Chevrolet Colorado. This engine earns a respectable EPA-estimated rating of 25 mpg for highway driving and 19 mpg on city streets. All crew cab versions of the 2022 Chevrolet Colorado feature a 3.6-liter V-6 with an eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, an option for the extended cab versions. The RWD engine gets an EPA-estimated rating of 25 mpg for highway driving and 18 mpg for city driving, while the 4WD is slightly lower at 24 mpg for highway driving and 17 mpg for city driving. The LT trim and above also offer a diesel engine option in the crew cab versions. You can opt for a 2.8-liter four-cylinder diesel engine with a six-speed automatic transmission. This is the most fuel-efficient engine available on the 2022 Chevy Colorado, with an EPA-estimated rating of 30 mpg for highway driving and 20 mpg on city streets for the RWD, and 28 mpg on the highway and 19 on city streets for the 4WD. It’s important to note that the off-road-ready ZR2 trim gets slightly lower ratings for the V-6 and diesel option. With the V-6, the ZR2 earns 18 mpg on the highway and 16 mpg for city driving, while the diesel gets you 22 mpg on the highway and 18 mpg for city driving. You can haul up to 7,700 pounds with the Duramax diesel option, over double the 3,500 pounds possible with the four-cylinder engine. 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 View Chevrolet Silverado 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 You can get Chevy’s full-size 2022 Silverado 1500 in nine trim levels: WT (Work Truck), Custom, Custom Trail Boss, LT, RST, LT Trail Boss, ZR2, LTZ, and High Country. It’s available as a two-door regular cab, four-door extended cab (Double Cab), and four-door crew cab with full-size rear doors. Three bed sizes are available depending on cab selection. These include a 5-foot-8-inch bed, a 6-foot-6-inch bed, and an 8-foot bed. The Silverado 1500 has four engine options available for 2022. Much like the Colorado, rear-wheel drive is standard, with an available four-wheel drive option. The base engine for the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is a turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. This engine delivers 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. For the RWD version, you can expect an EPA-estimated rating of 22 mpg on the highway and 19 mpg on city streets. The 4WD will get you 20 mpg on the highway and 17 mpg in the city. Next is a 5.3-liter V-8 mated to either an eight- or 10-speed automatic transmission that garners 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. The EPA estimates are slightly different for the transmissions, with the 10-speed getting 21 mpg highway and 16 mpg city for the RWD and 19 mpg on the highway and 15 mpg on city streets in the 4WD. The eight-speed earns 19 mpg highway driving and 16 mpg for city driving on the RWD, with 18 mpg highway and 14 mpg city for the 4WD. You can also opt for a 6.2-liter V-8 matched with a 10-speed automatic transmission and only available as 4WD. You get 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque with this V-8. The EPA-estimated rating of 19 mpg on the highway and 14 mpg for city streets is comparable to other engines for the Silverado 1500. The most fuel-efficient engine for the 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 is a diesel option. A 3.0-liter turbocharged diesel inline six-cylinder engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission to deliver 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. More notably, it also has 31 mpg for highway driving and 23 mpg in the city for the RWD version, and 26 mpg on the highway or 22 mpg in the city for the 4WD. The diesel engine also upgrades the towing capacity of the Silverado to 13,300 pounds. That’s 4,000 more than the 9,300-pound capability of the four-cylinder. 2023 Fuel-Efficient Chevy Truck Options The 2023 Chevy Colorado is replacing the engine options with a single turbocharged 2.7-liter inline four-cylinder that delivers 237 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque for the WT and LT models. The EPA estimates aren’t available for this engine, but Chevy predicts it to be very similar to the outgoing four-cylinder option currently available in the Colorado. The tow rating will also stay the same at 3,000 pounds. The Z71 features a turbo 2.7-liter four-cylinder that produces 310 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque. You can expect a tow rating of 7,700 pounds, slightly less than the 7,000 currently available with the V-6 diesel. On the ZR2, you’ll get a 2.7-liter four-cylinder with the same horsepower but 430 lb-ft of torque. For the 2023 Silverado 1500, Chevy is upgrading the diesel option to produce 305 horsepower and 495 lb-ft of torque, slightly higher than the 2022 version. Chevy will also introduce the ZR2 Bison trim, with a 6.2-liter V-8 offering 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque.
