A Corvette engineering team is in Sedona, Arizona testing the new C8 Corvette Z06 and this video clip was provided to the MidEngineCorvetteForum.com from a member that allows us to get a listen to the sound from the center-mounted exhaust.
We note that with the video, we can see two C8 Corvette Stingrays along for the ride, and there is a Chevy support SUV that brings up the rear. However, there is also a new Jaguar F-Type that is also in the caravan, but we are unsure whether it’s a benchmark vehicle or if it just got mixed into the caravan itself. It does look like it’s leaving the convenience store in line with the engineering team. Previous, the team has been using Porsche and Ferrari to benchmark the Z06 so if the F-Type is seen again, then we’ll know for sure.
The video isn’t the sharpest, but the sound from the flat-plane crank V8 sounds just fine. The driver does give a little exhaust blip to the camera and then heads out into the traffic circle and then down the road.

That almost sounded like it had a manual gearbox also!
Too quiet!
That’s not what I expected to hear.
They can’t even make enough regular corvettes how do they expect to make a Z06?
Daniel, by delaying the shit out of the ZO6 when and if it ever comes out! GM needs to get it’s act together already.
Don’t rush it out. Get it right.
