[VIDEO] Hennessey’s Stock C8 Corvette Z06 with Z07 Sets Fastest Lap at COTA

We’ve seen several videos from Hennessey Performance with their stock 2023 Corvette Z06, and our last post showed they were selling the car on eBay Motors for a whopping $230,000. We just checked that older listing and see that the car has been relisted several times and it’s currently still for sale on the auction website.

In addition to our eBay post, Hennessey offered up a Benchmark Dyno of the car, and we’ve see it race against a 1,000 hp Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing.

In this new video, the completely stock Z06 is taken to the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) track outside of Austin, TX for a few laps. According to the title, Hennessey is claiming a “World’s fastest lap” at the F1 circuit with a fastest lap time of 2:19:18. We remembered that Speed Phenom had a similar lap time at COTA, but Hennessey was indeed just a few ten-tenths faster than Austin’s Z06 lap time of 2:19.48.

From Hennessey Performance via YouTube:

In December of 2023, racing champion David Donohue drove John Hennessey’s stock 2023 Chevrolet C8 Corvette Z06 into the record books at Austin’s Circuit of the Americas racetrack. The C8 Z06 was optioned with the very rare Z07 track package, exposed carbon fiber wheels, and carbon fiber aero. The conditions of the track on this day were poor and effected what could have been an even faster lap time, but nevertheless, Donohue persevered and managed to run an incredible 2:19:18.

Buckle up for an incredible first-person look at the record lap. The Corvette is completely stock with no modifications at the time of this run. Lap times and record was captured through the General Motors ‘Performance Data Recorder’ in the Corvette.
