Chevrolet Corvette Z51 C6

The Chevrolet Corvette Z51 C6 reaches 60 mph in 3.89 s (100 km/h in 4.06 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 12.29 s, tripping the lights at 116.8 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 1.98 s and the eighth mile in 7.98 s, reaching 100 mph in 9.39 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the Corvette Z51 C6

The 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z51 C6 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,459 kg with 436 bhp, which works out at 299 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 299 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 1.98 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 961st quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 19th quickest of the 199 Chevrolets here. Its 116.8 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 8 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Chevrolet Corvette Z51 C6 0-60 time?
The Chevrolet Corvette Z51 C6 reaches 60 mph in 3.89 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 961st quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Chevrolet Corvette Z51 C6 quarter mile time?
12.29 s at 116.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.98 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.98 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Chevrolet Corvette Z51 C6 have?
436 bhp and 1,459 kg, which is 299 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 307 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Chevrolet Corvette Z51 C6?
Closest here on pace: Wiesmann GT MF4-CS 4.0 V8 420 (3.92 s), Aston Martin Vantage GT8 Mk I (3.90 s), Ruf 3400 K Coupe (3.86 s). Each one can be raced against the Chevrolet Corvette Z51 C6 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Chevrolet Corvette Z51 C6 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 8 of its 11 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
