2026 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 For Sale

What the Z06 Adds Over the Stingray and E-Ray

The 2026 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is built around one number that reorders everything else: 670 horsepower, naturally aspirated, arriving at a screaming 8,400 rpm. Its hand-assembled 5.5L LT6 flat-plane-crank V8 is the highest-output naturally aspirated V8 ever fitted to a production car, and it revs to an 8,600-rpm redline that no Stingray or E-Ray comes near. Where the Stingray is the everyday mid-engine Corvette and the E-Ray adds electrified all-weather traction, the Z06 is the purpose-built track car of the range — wider, lighter on its feet, and tuned to be driven hard and often.

George Nunnally Chevrolet sells and services the full Corvette family here in Northwest Arkansas, and the Z06 is the one buyers cross-shop against exotics. This page stays on what makes the Z06 its own machine: the engine, the chassis, the Z07 Performance Package, and pricing. For the numbers and cabin details it shares with the rest of the lineup, we link out rather than repeat — see the full specifications and dimensions and the technology and interior overview for shared content.

2026 Z06 Engine and Drivetrain

The heart of the Z06 is the LT6, a 5.5-liter naturally aspirated V8 with a flat-plane crankshaft, each one hand-assembled. It produces 670 hp at 8,400 rpm and 460 lb-ft of torque at 6,300 rpm, and it spins to an 8,600-rpm redline — the kind of high-revving character normally reserved for purebred racing engines. There is no turbocharger and no supercharger here; the response and the sound come straight from displacement and rpm.

Power goes to the rear wheels through an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic. The Z06 is rear-wheel drive, full stop — it is not the electrified E-Ray. With the Z07 package fitted, it clears 0–60 mph in 2.6 seconds and reaches a 189 mph top speed, rising to 195 mph in Z07 form. EPA figures land at 12 city / 21 highway / 15 combined, or 12 / 19 / 14 with the carbon aero. The Ozark backroads reward a high-revving engine and a stiff chassis in a way flat-country driving never asks for.

Z06 Chassis, Brakes and Aerodynamics

To put that engine to work, the Z06 wears a genuinely wide body — 79.7 inches across, a full 3.6 inches wider than the Stingray — to cover a wider track and bigger rubber. Forged wheels measure 20 inches up front and 21 inches at the rear, wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires as standard, with stickier Cup 2R tires arriving alongside the Z07 package.

Braking comes from a Brembo setup: 6-piston front and 4-piston rear steel discs as standard, upgraded to carbon-ceramic rotors when you add Z07. It is a chassis meant to be leaned on lap after lap, and it comes alive on a run out AR-12 (Scenic Highway 12) toward Beaver Lake far more than it ever does in a straight line.

Z06 Pricing and the Z07 Package

The Z06 opens at a starting MSRP of $117,700 for the coupe and $124,700 for the convertible, each excluding destination, and is offered in 1LZ, 2LZ, and 3LZ model levels. The Z07 Performance Package is the track-focused step: it brings carbon-ceramic brakes, Michelin Cup 2R tires, a dedicated Z07 Magnetic Ride tune, and added cooling. Z07 requires the Carbon Fiber Aero Package — a high rear wing, front splitter, and dive planes — and that combination raises top speed to 195 mph.

Where the Z06 Sits in the Corvette Lineup

The Z06 keeps the Corvette's 12.6 cubic feet of two-trunk cargo, and the range starts at $70,000 with the Stingray.

The Z06 is the naturally aspirated track specialist between the everyday Stingray and the top of the range. If you want all-weather traction and electrified punch, look at the E-Ray; if you want the forced-induction range-topper, look at the ZR1, which uses a different, turbocharged engine entirely. To line the whole family up side by side, the models compared breakdown and the Corvette research hub are the places to start.

2026 Corvette Z06 Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2026 Corvette Z06 turbocharged?

No. The Z06 uses a 5.5L LT6 flat-plane-crank V8 that is naturally aspirated — no turbocharger and no supercharger. The forced-induction, turbocharged engine belongs to the separate ZR1, not the Z06.

How much horsepower does the Z06 make and what is its redline?

The hand-assembled LT6 produces 670 horsepower at 8,400 rpm and 460 lb-ft of torque at 6,300 rpm, with an 8,600-rpm redline. That makes it the highest-output naturally aspirated V8 in any production car.

What does the Z07 Performance Package add?

Z07 adds carbon-ceramic brakes, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R tires, a Z07 Magnetic Ride tune, and extra cooling. It requires the Carbon Fiber Aero Package (high rear wing, front splitter, dive planes) and raises top speed to 195 mph, with a 2.6-second 0–60 mph time.

How much does the 2026 Z06 cost?

The Z06 starts at $117,700 for the coupe and $124,700 for the convertible, both excluding destination, and comes in 1LZ, 2LZ, and 3LZ model levels. You can estimate a payment on our payment calculator.

Is the Z06 street-legal and usable on the road?

Yes. The Z06 is a fully street-legal, rear-wheel-drive Corvette with a two-seat cabin and, on the coupe, a removable roof panel. It is a track-capable car that remains drivable on public roads, though its Cup-compound tires and firm tuning are happiest on the Ozark backroads around Northwest Arkansas.
