Sam describes the Corvette Z06 as “America’s Supercar,” and most enthusiasts will agree. With 650 horses, 650 lb/ft torque, a well-balanced feel, an aggressive yet tasteful design and a relatively low price-tag, the Z06 deserves its many accolades. It’s the quintessential American sports car, and ‘merica should be proud.

Although slightly daunted at first, Sam has an absolute blast tearing through the California mountain roads, shattering nearby windows with every rev, and shifting through this puppy’s gears–its auto rev-matching is sublime.
