Buyers of the C8-generation Corvette Z06 will soon be able to build the engine going into their cars.
by Chevy spokesman Trevor Thompkins, though without further detail.News of the Z06's Engine Build Experience was first reported earlier in September by, citing comments made by Kai Spande, Chevy's Corvette assembly plant director, during an event celebrating the 28th anniversary of the National Corvette Museum.
The experience previously cost $5,000 for a package that includes a full day with a Performance Build Center engine assembly technician who instructs and oversees the build, a personalized engine plaque identifying the owner as the builder, and professional photos of the day. The price is expected to be higher for the C8 Z06 program.
The Z06 is powered by a unique 5.5-liter V-8 that boasts a flat-plane crank design, dual overhead cams, dry-sump lubrication, and an output of 670 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque, or the highest output of any production naturally aspirated V-8. The engine is mated to the same 8-speed dual-clutch automatic found in the Corvette Stingray, but with a shorter 5.56 final drive ratio for improved acceleration. Performance claims include 0-60 mph acceleration in 2.6 seconds, a quarter-mile ET in 10.
