everybody as Tim Stevens was seen at welcome to the show floor of the New York International Auto Show I'm standing in front of one of the best-looking cars here on the show floor and certainly the most aggressive looking car on the show floors the 2015 Corvette Stingray zo6 convertible and the zo6 is a 625 horsepower supercharged v8 version of the Corvette Stingray here in New York Chevrolet unveiled the convertible version of the car which you can see behind me it looks quite nice actually a lot of convertibles look a little bit hokey when they lop the roof off but this car actually was designed to be a convertible in the first place so it looks quite nice the body really seamlessly wraps around the back end and it looks really good this has got the zo7 package on it which gives you a little bit more carbon fiber and a little bit more aggressiveness again we've got 625 horses under the hood here which is a ridiculous amounts one of the fastest Corvettes ever made including all the special editions that have come before in fact this is the fastest Corvette around GM's test track fastest car they've ever made around that test track GM finally gave us 0 to 60 times 3.5 seconds for this car in statistics view which is pretty ridiculous against 625 horsepower I'm gonna say that a lot just because that's a really big number let's take a look at the interior which is also improved now Corvettes have traditionally been all about what's under the hood and while this car certainly has plenty to offer there we've got a nice interior for a change which is not again something we've come to expect from Corvettes in the past nice Alcantara wrap steering wheel this Corvettes got a carbon fiber interior which has got a nice sporty look overall the materials in the fit and finish are a huge step up from what we've come to expect Corvettes in the past now of course it's a very open airfield because we're in a convertible the controls are down here on the left so it's a full power top very quick and easy to operate and again nice and airy way to cruise your way through the mountains or indeed around a track now Chevy hasn't said how much this cars gonna weigh it should be a little bit more than the standard zero six but they did say it won't be that much in fact this car was designed side-by-side with a normal Corvette Stingray so the difference really isn't that great between the two this car also has the zo7 package which gives you some extra body kutrimmer a cruising this a wicker bill on the back which is actually adjustable so if any more downforce you can move this up manually if you like there's a lip on the front and some carbon-fiber on the side making it really really clean we also don't have a price for the zo6 either in convertible or standard form we should expect them hit dealers sometime toward the end of this year so you should save your pennies I know that I am again this is Tim Stevens from the New York International Auto Show
