2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible review notes: A Ferrari killer at half ... - Autoweek
Halo ‘Vette with Z07 package offers a bit of everything, including an automatic. ROAD TEST EDITOR JAKE LINGEMAN: I’ve been waiting to drive this car for a few months now, and I have to say it’s nearly everything I expected, except for the eight-speed auto, but I’ll get to that in a second. Screaming yellow paint, black wheels and stripes, the back end looks like a KISS mask to me. I love the wickerbill spoiler. It looks like a race car. Who are they going to pull over, the beige Camry doing 84 mph or a yellow ‘Vette. The stitching looks clean and straight, the gaps are consistent, if a little wide, and all the center console and glove box doors close smoothly. I love the seats, they offer great support, both laterally and front to back, and they have lots of adjustment to get that perfect driving position. The nav and radio setup are easy to learn and easy to use. After a few turns it revs loud on startup before dropping into a mean-sounding burble. Throw a few revs at it and it barks angrily, scaring anyone within earshot not paying attention. The exhaust really opens up at 3,500 rpm or so. Pull is strong and violent from the moment you drop the clutch, and these tires were already so worn that they spun anytime you get close to the loud pedal. Source: autoweek.com
