[VIDEO] Revving the 2023 Corvette Z06 and Hot Laps at the Indy 500


On Sunday morning we got the word that our friend Byron Glover Jr was attending the Indianapolis 500 as a guest of Chevrolet with a group of influencers. If you haven’t seen his hot lap in the Z06 with Aaron Link behind the wheel, you’ll definitely want to schedule a time to watch as he hits 163+ MPH! Yeah, it’s a really good video.

Also attending the Indy 500 with Chevrolet is EddieX who did that really informative and entertaining Z06 ride-along that was released following the reveal last October, as well as Emelia Hartford who took part in reveal of the Z06 and was featured in several of the teasers leading up to it. Last but not least is an awesome two-lap ride around the historic 2.5-mile oval track thanks to Team Chevy!

First up, we’re sharing this very cool video from EddieX who captured a couple of the 150+ MPH flybys as the Z06 Pace Car raced down the main straight. His quick video also has some in-car footage of his hot lap as well as some of the exhaust note as the Pace Car was being moved in the pits:


In this short Instagram video from Emelia Hartford, she is given the keys to an Arctic White Z07 Convertible that’s parked in the in-field and proceeds to rev the hell out of the LT6 as only a YouTuber can…


Thanks to Team Chevy for this fantastic ride along posted to Instagram as the 2023 Corvette Z06 Indy 500 Pace Car makes two laps around the track. There is absolutely no talking in this video, so you can really get a great listen to the 670-hp LT6 engine.

  3. not impressed , any C8 can easily blow by 160 ,,,, and it don’t take a lot of straight away

  4. aaron link is an engineer, not an experienced professional driver and the indianapolis track is known to not have much embankment at all to the corners.

    i’d bet you’d be impressed when a driver like oliver gavin is behind the wheel with the car truly flat out.

  5. In one of the videos of the Indy pace car Z06, I saw that there is three of them. Apparently others in case of a mechanical problem, my assumption. I wonder how well one of them might do in an auction. That would have been a great version of the Z06 to offer as a limited edition in addition to the 70th Anniversary. Speaking of limited editions. There was a perfect opportunity to do a tribute to the first Z06 in 1963 to do a 60th Anniversary of that performance model rather than the 70th that is all Corvettes from original production. Maybe it would have been too confusing for the average customer.

  6. Chevy usually provides three pace cars with two serving as backup cars. The winner of the 500 will receive one of those Pace Cars as well. Rarely are they for sale but that massive collection of 18 Pace Cars that just sold at Indy had two Pace Cars that were officially used on the track.
