MUST WATCH: BMW M4 Jumps The Median Strip After Show-Off Driver Loses Control: Video Leno sampled the car in convertible guise, and with the available eight-speed automatic instead of the standard seven-speed manual.

    All of those reports about power being down on early examples of the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 due to the ongoing break-in process (with full power to come just a few hundred miles down the road) aside, there are worse things that can happen with a new supercar engine.

  • C7 Corvette Z06 Dyno

    The team at Vengeance Racing has certainly been excited to take delivery of its new 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Upon delivery, there was a massive burnout, which was followed up with a run on the dyno. That run produced power figures of 585 horsepower and 617 pound-feet of torque at the rear wheels. MUST SEE: Lies! There Is No $212,000 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat That translates to quite a bit more than the advertised 650/650 being touted by GM. Now another group have plopped the C7 Z06 on a dyno, and the results gathered by High Tech Corvette are just as impressive. This Z06 produced power...
