2023 Chevy Corvette With Massively Powerful V8, 600+ Horsepower Output to be Revealed October 26


The mid-engine Corvette has long been the star of the show, and its testing at the world-famous Nürburgring has created fine-tuned excellence. Video from Motor1.com showed the 2023 ZO6 prototype testing on the roads close to the track and offered an up-close look at the incoming sports car. 

One of the first things that stick out is the obvious splitter visible from the front, and a view of the larger inlets present in the lower fascia. It rides on black five-spoke wheels with silver calipers behind them, and it features much larger visible side inlets to allow the engine to cool down. In the rear, there is a fully revised rear bumper that situates four exhaust pipes right in the middle. 


The Z06 will most likely be using a version of the V8 derived from the C8.R race car, which has 5.5 liters of displacement, a flat-plane crankshaft, and 617 horsepower. The shell for this amazing powertrain is a revolutionary Tremec-sourced gearbox with a magnesium case. Car and Driver claimed on their blog last month that the Z06 will sound unlike any Corvette that has ever existed before and will look fiercer than the mainstream C8.

The Z06’s aerodynamics are important when it comes to adjusting to high-speed downforce and cornering traction, and the model also boasts all of the best technology and features from the standard model. This is going to be a much more track-focused version of the standard Corvette, and it will have better acceleration and cornering ability than previous models.

The Z06's suspension tune will also be recalibrated to assure that it has every advantage in performance. The interior has had special treatment, and the square steering wheel along with the climate-control buttons on the center console present a vibe with a pleasantly unique appearance. The multilayered dashboard features an 8.0-inch touchscreen that supports Chevy’s Infotainment 3 Plus system, and you’ll have the choice of a 10 or 14-speaker setup courtesy of Bose professional audio.

Chevy Silverado ZR2 Features World-Class Off-Road Capability, Revamped Interior, Hands-Free Super Cruise


When it comes to trucks, many customers have been adding top-notch off-road performance to their wish lists! Chevy’s latest Silverado launched just 3 years ago, but there is never a bad time for an update! The 2022 Silverado will feature the ZR2 package. There is now a 13.4-inch touchscreen in the dash of the LT and higher-trim Silverado pickups, as well as a 12.3-inch digital and customizable gauge cluster. 

Our competition has been popular for their interior, so the Silverado took an encouraging step forward in the 2022’s interior. The ZR2 Package adds a 6.2-liter engine, a trusty set of 33-inch off-road tires, and includes Multimatic 40mm DSSV spool-valve dampers and e-lockers in both the front and rear. The Silverado’s skid plates are absolutely necessary for offroading because the essentials on the bottom of the frame can incur severe damage when driving over rough surfaces.


The Silverado lineup will now also include Super Cruise, which allows for hands-free driving on select roads. Even though it is not fully autonomous, it takes some of the more cumbersome aspects of driving off your plate and makes the ride much more enjoyable. Past driver reviews from KBB.Com paint the Silverado in a glowing light, with one happy customer from Montana saying the 1500 is “beautiful and satisfying in every way.” With a transmission and engine that provided incredibly smooth shifting and awesome handling, a few extra bed runners, and a bed liner, it turned out tobe the best vehicle he ever owned. 

The 2021 model provided the new multi-configurable tailgate option and upgraded trailer-towing camera technology. With multiple convenient tie-down points and a massive bed capacity, the Silverado has gradually improved, earning powerhouse status that it boasts now.

The LT and LT Trail Boss trims are where style, great equipment, and long-lasting capability intersect and create the ultimate vehicle. The available 6.2-liter V8 produces 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, and the turbocharged 3.0-Liter 6-cylinder diesel puts out 277 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. Don’t forget to check out the sporty RST Trim: it includes body-colored exterior trim, 18-inch and urban-ready aluminum wheels, and LED fog lights!

2022 Silverado 1500 Equipped With Super Cruise, Larger-Than-Life Infotainment Screen


Trucks used to be judged predominantly by max tow ratings and their horsepower stats, while today’s full-size models seem to be judged by high-end interior spaces alongside their tech features. The 2022 Silverado 1500 boasts a modernized dashboard, many advanced features, and all the power truck owners expect.

As always, selecting the top-of-the-line High Country trim provides awesome extras such as open-pore wood. There is now a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster on board, with a 13.4-inch touchscreen. With the competition, you’ll only find a 12-inch screen. The Silverado’s new infotainment system comes with Google’s voice assistant, maps, and user-friendly app store. 

The available Super Cruise technology offers completely hands-free and tech-assisted driving that can even be used while pulling a trailer. Entry-level Silverado trucks are equipped with a safety suite that includes everything from automatic high-beam headlights to automated emergency braking to lane-keeping assist.


Power is no problem for the 2022 Silverado 1500. The 2.7-liter four-cylinder has been completely reworked and now offers 420 lb/ft of torque, delivering more punch and class-leading performance from a slightly smaller power source. You could also go the other direction with the Duramax diesel 3.0-liter inline-six, which flaunts an impressive 13,300-lb towing capacity.

With three large bed and cab choices, powerful and efficient engine range, and the added capability of the off-road ZR2 trim, the wide front fascia is still an instrumental part of the vehicle. There’s so much to love about the 5.3-liter V8, which cranks out 355 horsepower and 383 lb/ft of torque, as well as the 6.2-liter V8 with its pairing to the 10-speed automatic transmission. The available tailgate goes up or down on command from a quick push of a button, and there is also now a six-way power tailgate available to pair with a bed with 12 tie-downs.
