The 2027 Z06 Options List Is Out And Some Packages Cost More Than a New Car

GM has now released the full options and packages sheet for the 2027 Corvette Z06, and if you thought the base sticker was the expensive part, you might want to sit down before scrolling through the order guide. The Z06 carries forward the same 5.5L naturally aspirated LT6 V8 that has defined the C8 generation, rides on the familiar GM Y2 platform, and continues to roll out of the Bowling Green Assembly Plant in Kentucky. What is new is the complete picture of just how much buyers can spend putting their personal stamp on one.

Base pricing starts at $121,395 for the 1LZ coupe (that includes the $2,495 destination freight charge) and climbs from there through the 2LZ and 3LZ trims, with convertible variants priced higher than their coupe counterparts. Worth noting: Z06 models with carbon aero packages are subject to a $3,000 gas guzzler tax on top of that, so factor that into your build math before you start clicking.

Here is a closer look at what is on the menu.

The Z07 Performance Package Is the Track-Focused Core Upgrade

For buyers who plan to use their Z06 the way it was intended, the Z07 Performance Package at $9,500 is the natural starting point. Available across all three trim levels, it brings sharper handling, upgraded aerodynamics, and the kind of setup that turns the Z06 from an already serious sports car into something genuinely track-ready.

For maximum stopping power, the carbon ceramic brakes (RPO code J57) are available as a standalone option at $9,000. They provide meaningfully reduced brake fade under sustained track use, the kind of upgrade that pays off the first time you push hard into a corner after several laps.

The big number, though, is the Z07 Visible Carbon Aero and Wheel Package (RPO code PDF), which tops out at $27,995 depending on which wheel configuration you select. That is more than a base Toyota Camry costs. It bundles carbon fiber aero components with a set of carbon fiber wheels, and despite the price, there is a real performance case behind it. Carbon fiber wheels reduce unsprung weight, which translates to sharper steering response and better ride quality. Chevrolet also offers the Visible Carbon Fiber Aero Package (RPO code T0G) at $10,995 and a Carbon Flash version at $8,995 for buyers who want the aero look at a lower entry point.

Carbon Fiber Wheels Are Available as Standalone Options Too

If you want the wheels without the full bundle, the 2027 Z06 offers three standalone carbon fiber wheel options. The Visible Carbon Fiber Wheels with Red stripe are priced at $15,500, the standard Visible Carbon Fiber Wheels come in at $13,995, and the Carbon Flash-painted Carbon Fiber Wheels sit at $11,995. Pair any of those with the Carbon Fiber Wheel and Brake Package (RPO code PDB) and you are looking at $16,000 to $17,500 depending on configuration. Stack the $9,000 carbon ceramic brakes on top of that and you have effectively spent compact-car money on stopping and rolling hardware alone.

The Interior Options Run from Practical to Premium

Inside the cabin, the 2027 Z06 gives buyers a wide range of ways to personalize the space. The Competition Sport bucket seats (RPO code AE4), which offer enhanced lateral support for spirited driving, are available across all trims for between $595 and $2,095 depending on the trim level. The GT2 bucket seats come standard on the 3LZ or can be added to the 2LZ for $1,695.

For the 3LZ trim specifically, buyers can add custom leather stitching in Santorini Blue, Adrenaline Red, or Competition Yellow, each priced at $495. Seat belt color choices, including Orange, Torch Red, Yellow, Santorini Blue, and Natural, add another layer of personalization at $595 each. At the higher end of the interior options, the Carbon Fiber Level 2 instrument panel trim (RPO code FA6) is available exclusively on the 3LZ for $5,295.

The Performance Data and Video Recorder (RPO code UQT) is priced at $1,495 for the 1LZ and comes standard on the 2LZ and 3LZ, a practical addition for anyone planning to use the car on track days.

The Enthusiast-Specific Options Are Worth a Look

A few items on the 2027 Z06 order guide go beyond hardware and into the ownership experience itself. The Customer Engine Build Program, priced at $9,995, lets buyers be present at the Bowling Green Performance Build Center while their LT6 is assembled. It is one of those options that is hard to put a dollar value on for the right kind of enthusiast.

Corvette Museum Delivery is available at $1,695, and a personalized plaque with a custom 24-character name and VIN (RPO code BV4) is on offer for $395. On the aero and exterior side, additional standalone options include the Front Axle Lift system at $2,995, a Low Profile Spoiler and Splitter at $995, a High Wing Spoiler in Carbon Flash at $1,550, and the Three Stanchion High Wing at $2,075. Visible Carbon Fiber outside mirrors (RPO code 5JR) are priced at $1,395.

A Note on Price Increases vs. 2026

The 2027 Z06 base price reflects a $1,200 increase over the outgoing model year. But the larger story is in the options sheet, where a number of popular add-ons have seen meaningful price jumps. The Carbon Fiber Level 2 interior, visible carbon ground effects, the dual roof package, the engine appearance package, and several others all came in higher for 2027. Buyers cross-shopping their current build against last year’s order guide will want to check each line item individually.

The Bottom Line

The 2027 Corvette Z06 is the same fundamentally compelling car it has been since launch, LT6 V8, Y2 platform, Bowling Green-built, but GM has now given buyers a thorough picture of just how far that sticker can climb. For the track-day buyer who wants every aero and brake upgrade available, a fully optioned Z06 can push well past $150,000 before tax, title, and dealer fees. For the buyer who wants a focused, high-revving sports car with a few personal touches, the 1LZ is still the starting point. The order guide gives everyone in between plenty of room to land exactly where they want.

Pricing is based on GM’s official 2027 Corvette order guide. All prices include the mandatory $2,495 destination freight charge. Gas guzzler tax is additional and varies by configuration
