However, with Corvettes getting faster by the year and several limited editions muddying the waters, it's no small task figuring which cars are the fastest. Thus, here is a list of the quickest accelerating Chevrolet Corvettes of all time, ranked by their 0-60 mph times.

10 C8 Chevrolet Corvette Z06/Z07 – 2.6 Seconds

One of the best features of the 2023 Chevy Corvette Z06 is not its power but its rapid acceleration. The C8 punches out a decent 670 horsepower in standard form, but when equipped with the Z07 package, the LT6-powered Z06 hits 60 mph in just 2.6 seconds from a standstill.

Well, this quick acceleration time is achieved with the help of the lightning-quick dual transmission, its unique final drive gearing, and the radically adhesive 345/25R21 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R ZP tires. In all, based on the performance of the C8 Stingray, Chevrolet claims stock C8 Z06 owners will be able to get the 0-60 mph time in the lower 2-second range.

9 C8 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51 – 2.8 Seconds

The C8 Stingray is not often ranked among the most potent supercars ever made, but when equipped with some top-of-the-range tech control system, the car becomes one of the quickest Corvettes ever.

Of course, this is made possible with the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires that come equipped with the Z51 package. And to show its prowess, the 495-horsepower Stingray rockets from 0-60 mph in just 2.8 seconds. Moreover, Chevy claims that private owners see even quicker times in its stock form.

The C7 Corvette ZR1 was the highest performance Chevrolet road car to date. But for those who wanted extra performance, the optional ZTK Track Pack was the way to go. Like the Z07 package equipped in the Z06, the ZTK package for the ZR1 adds extreme aerodynamic elements that reduce top speed.

7 C7 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 (Z07 Package) – 3.0 Seconds

When the C7 Corvette Z06 rolled out of the factory in 2015, it was the most track-capable Corvette in the brand's history. At the heart of the Z06 was an all-new LT4 6.2-liter supercharged V8 that cranked out a robust 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque.

Based on the already powerful Z06, the ZR1 adds more aerodynamics, including an optional large rear spoiler that adds about 950 pounds of downforce.

Additionally, the current ZR1 was available with an optional 8-speed automatic transmission, allowing the horsepower king to charge from 0-60 mph in just 3.2 seconds.
