HISTORICAL NOTES

2002 Corvette Notes

Durability was an important part of the Z06 design. Testing included 250 miles of autocross, 24 hours on the racetrack, and driving flat out at 275 kph for a full tank of fuel. Dave Hill says about the 24 hour track test, "It's one test that is severe enough to give Corvette the robustness our owners expect."
GM expects about 20% of the estimated 35,000 Corvettes to be built for the 2002 model year will be Z06 models.
The Z06 Corvette was designed for serious performance enthusiasts
2002 Corvette Z06 did the zero to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds
It did the quarter mile in 12.4 seconds
