The Corvette Z06's engine forced engineers to change how they developed the rest of the car.
on our own, away from the official launch event. While we got multiple days on both the road and the track with the car on our own terms, we did miss out on face time with Corvette executive chief engineer Tadge Juechter. Luckily, Juechter was kind enough to hop on the phone last Friday to discuss the newest Corvette.
So the back end of our car is set up like an engine dyno, no restrictions. So once you have the ability to breathe, then you need to take advantage of that with the rest of the motor. If you look at all the specs on the motor, everything is engineered to maximize the breathing and take advantage of the dynamics of the flat-plane crank and the inlet dynamics, all the acoustic waves that are coming in the inlet.
Through the course of our reveal, it's not like we're standing there thumping our chest on zero to sixties. We don't talk the numbers very much and you didn't even hear us say anything about lap times. Even though the car is wicked fast on the track, it's all about the driving experience, whether track or the street. We're trying to get to the most exhilarating driving experience you can buy at any price in today's market.
That interacts with the ground as a nose underwing. And then we have these extractors, strakes, we call them these curved elements that sweep air from the underbody out under the rocker. And so that helps channel air out from the underbody and creates a little bit of a low pressure, but it acts over a huge area of the car. And so those things actually give you downforce with zero drag.
