Production Of The Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Has Begun

Spy shots have recently shown us quite a bit of the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 in the past weeks, but all of them were pre-production, hand-made models based on regular Stingrays. According to StingrayForums.com, the first production Z06 Corvette just rolled off of the assembly line in Bowling Green, Kentucky on November 13 at 9:26 in the morning. This very first Z06 was sold to Rick Hendrick, owner of a NASCAR team.

According to General Motors, they will be able to produce around 7 cars an hour.  There is no telling when customers will be able to get their hands on one, but we can’t wait to see what this American supercar can do against its exotic rivals.
