A sports car from American manufacturer Chevrolet, the latest incarnation of America's most popular sports car is comin' out swingin'. An extra 20hp makes the Z06 the quickest production 'Vette ever, while still maintaining its National Low Emission Vehicle (NLEV) status. Now standard on the Z06 is a Heads-Up Display (HUD) that projects the vehicle's speed and other guages onto the windshield so you don't have to take your eyes off the road to read your instruments. Nice. Overall, a worthy (and relatively inexpensive) modern sports car to make the US proud.
