Let us introduce the C8 Z06, the ballistic top performance of the Chevrolet Corvette C8.

Can the Model S, then, compete with Bowling Green's finest Corvettes?

Is the Corvette formula insufficiently challenging?

With its ground-breaking 5.5L LT6 flat-plane V8, the 2024 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 generates 670 Hp.

[{"selector":"#anim-4d678c06-14f9-4b61-ae86-e0bd952bf5ba [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-7.812499744007886%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

Since that it produces the same amount of horsepower in relation to the dual-motor

However, the news changes with Tesla’s current sprinter in a three-piece suit: the Model S Plaid.

[{"selector":"#anim-204d5912-58a9-483b-8cd6-95db4b6aa6dc [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.24302443975483%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

Riding on a tri-motor, 400-volt, 100-kWh platform, the Plaid produces 1,020 horsepower

The 2023 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray will hit 60 mph in 2.8 seconds. As a result, the 6.2L

V8-powered Corvette is the quickest-accelerating base-model Corvette

the nameplate’s history, outsprinting the C7 Corvette Z51 by nearly a second.
