General Motors President Mark Royce has revealed that the model’s DNA is indeed a sporty performance. “More than power, the new LT6 engine is designed to complement every aspect of the Z06 track-focused performance experience. From 8600 rpm to competition-style dry oil, the induction and exhaust systems have been precisely tuned and this exudes an entirely new and emotional character.” .
