The new 2007 Corvette Z06 Coupe is a car that gives the driver with a full time speeding pleasure. The transmission's gas-saving up shift feature is so annoying you'll want to defeat it. The CD player had trouble reading the MP3 discs, and the stereo is difficult to hear because of the noisy cabin.

The car is blindingly fast--when you stomp the accelerator, the world gets blurry. The Z06 has been clocked at 3.5 seconds from 0 to 60mph, which is super-car territory. Driving on public roads, this acceleration means you can pull in between fast-moving traffic or pass on two-lane highways with little worry. It's proved an excellent car in more recent Le Mans races, taking multiple first-place wins in the GT1 class over the past five years.

Surprisingly enough, the Corvette Z06 is also a good tech car. The doors use electronic latches, it has a smart key, and we had it optioned with a navigation system. Bluetooth phone integration isn't available, but OnStar, which has a telephone service, is optional. It comes standard with a heads-up display, something we found very useful, if a bit ugly. Then, of course, there's the performance tech, such as carbon fibre fenders, a dry sump oil system, and a limited slip differential.
