Euro Z06 down on HP/TQ

[DenisC8]

the 2023 Corvette Z06 produces 670 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque for the North American market. To meet European regulations, a gas particulate filter is added which requires a redesigned exhaust system, hence why these cars lose the center-mount pipes for Stingray-style finishers at the corners. In the process, output from the 5.5-liter DOHC engine falls to 636 hp and 439 lb-ft of torque.

Personally, I'd like the Europeans to cancel all Z06 orders, so GM reverts their allocations back to Canada. After all, WHO would want a toned-down Z06 and especially one that doesn't have THE Z06 exhaust-note...

And if you think this might happen, I'll introduce you to my pet snowball who lives (VERY BRIEFLY) in Hell...
