Even as variants like the Z06 and E-Ray join the range, the regular C8 Corvette continues to be a potent performance car. This video showcases the top speed the standard 'Vette with the Z51 Performance Package can reach in the standing mile.

This Corvette gets to do two runs. In both cases, the car accelerates quickly up to around 120 miles per hour. The gear change at that speed causes the vehicle to gain speed more gradually. The velocity keeps increasing, though.

This Corvette's fastest run is 169.179 miles per hour. The video doesn't specify, but the second run appears to be the faster of the two because the speedometer briefly shows 172 mph, versus 171 mph in the first attempt.

The Z51 pack includes quite of bit of equipment. Most notably, the performance exhaust boosts the engine output to 495 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. It also adds an electronic limited-slip differential and an additional radiator for better cooling. The suspension features manually adjustable threaded spring seats. Brembo brakes improve stopping ability. These cars come with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires that have a 19-inch diameter in front and a 20-inch diameter at the back.

A 2023 Corvette starts at $65,895 after the $1,395 destination charge. The Z51 Performance Package adds $6,345 to the price.
