With the first 2015 Corvette Z06s now being delivered to eager customers, it’s only fitting that we post one of the first videos of a Corvette Z06 speeding down the drag strip. After a quick warm-up in the form of a burnout, the driver runs the quarter mile in 11.7 seconds, at a speed of 120.5 mph.

Despite the driver’s time of 11.7, Chevrolet stands by the official quarter mile time for a manual as being 11.2 seconds at a speed of 127 mph. The eight speed automatic is capable of running the quarter mile in a quicker 10.95 seconds. The 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 sports a supercharged 6.2 liter V8 engine, which will supposedly accelerate the car from 0-60 mph in 2.95 seconds for the automatic variant or 3.2 seconds for the manual.

Pricing on the 2015 Corvette Z06 starts at $78,995 for the coupe and $83,995 for the convertible.
