    2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 | Magnuson Supercharger | Gwatney Heads & Cam | 875WHP

     

    In 1963, the first track-oriented Corvette Z06 was released to the world. 59 years and seven generations later, the Z06 continues to be an icon in the Chevy lineup. Already a beast from the factory, Andy decided to squeeze even more performance out of his 2015 Corvette Z06. We think the results speak for themselves.
