Corvette C7 Z06 Holds Skidpad Grip Record Across Eight Generations
Jalopnik analyzed skidpad grip data for all eight generations of the Chevrolet Corvette, finding that the 2015 C7 Z06 with the Z07 package remains the grip leader at 1.19 g. The mid-engine C8 generation failed to surpass this figure in independent testing, while the C6 ZR1 placed third. The analysis highlights that tire choice and chassis balance often outweigh horsepower in determining cornering limits, with the C1 generation ranking last due to outdated tire technology.
