The 2011 Chevy Corvette Z06 Carbon Edition blasted onto the scene with a beefy V8 engine and a ton of parts from the hotter ZR1. The Z06 CE never received the ZR1's supercharger, but it did receive suspension upgrades, carbon-fiber bits, and other goodies, making it a formidable performance car and the perfect vehicle to take to the latest Texas Mile event. The coupe hit an astounding 242.7 miles per hour (390.6 kilometers per hour).
It's unclear what modifications were made to the Corvette, but things we can see look impressive. The Z06 wears some extra aerodynamic bits at the back, with struts fused to the rear bumper holding it all up. The coupe also sports a parachute, which hints at the car's performance prowess and something it needs when it's decelerating from nearly 250 mph. Chevy originally introduced the Z06 Carbon Edition with carbon-ceramic brakes, though it's doubtful this car is still wearing those units.
