10 years after the release of the Corvette, a ZO6 options package was presented. Since then, the ZO6 package has been offered in 4 out of 7 generations. Each generation offering a more powerful version of the previous. To understand the passion for the ZO6, one must first take a deep dive into the development of the RPO ZO6 over 60 years ago.
