Hot Wheels Corvette C7 Z06 Convertible

If you want a Corvette C7 Z06 Convertible, it helps to have $60,000 to $80,000 available.  If your budget can't accommodate it, you can downsize your Corvette dream to a more manageable $1 or so for this Hot Wheels version.

Since this pocket-sized version doesn't have a 6.2 liter V-8 pumping out 650 horsepower, it sits easily atop the gas pump.  The full-sized version would get about 13 miles per gallon in the city and 23 miles per gallon on the highway.

No matter what size your Corvette comes in, it always looks fast!

Hot Wheels Chevy Corvette C7 Z06

Here's my mid-life crisis car--a Chevrolet Corvette C7 Z06.  Against the backdrop of brilliant red, it looks like it's out on the town and racing towards excitement.  With a 650 horsepower V-8, this 'vette should get there plenty fast.

Of course, this Hot Wheels Corvette is a tad small to serve as a mid-life crisis car, but then I've always found real Corvettes to be a tight squeeze so it works out.

So where was this Corvette off too? What was its exciting destination? I'll reveal a Hot Wheels photography secret.  There was no fancy backdrop.


This little Corvette was headed to the drive thru window at my local Wendy's one evening when I took these shots.  The walls that serve as a backdrop are merely the exterior walls of a newly remodeled Wendy's fast food restaurant.  The lighting was from streetlights nearby.  When you hit a fast food joint with a $1 Hot Wheels car in your pocket, you don't have to worry about burger or fry grease.
