“How much horsepower does the 2015 Corvette Z06 actually make in real world testing?”
The 2015 Corvette Z06 puts down some seriously impressive real-world numbers! Based on multiple independent dyno tests, you’re looking at about 570-585 rear-wheel horsepower from the factory-rated 650 crank horsepower.
Here’s what the dyno sheets show:
That’s only about 12% drivetrain loss, which is excellent for an automatic transmission car. This suggests Chevrolet was actually being pretty conservative with their factory ratings - the Z06 is making every bit of its claimed 650 hp, if not a touch more.
The supercharged LT4 is a beast, and these real-world numbers prove it delivers exactly what Chevy promised, maybe even a little extra. Pretty impressive for a car that’s now over a decade old!
