How Much for the Über-Vette in the Window? 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Starts at $78,995

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 coupe

Just days after the ordering guide for the upcoming 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 was leaked, we are finding out how much it will cost to actually order the car: The Corvette Z06 will cost $78,995 in coupe form and $83,995 for the first Z06 convertible since the 1960s.

The Z06 will come in three flavors: the no-frills 1LZ; 2LZ, which adds some creature comforts such as heated and ventilated seats, a cargo net and cover, and Bose speakers; and the fancy 3LZ, which gains Chevy's MyLink audio system with navigation, a performance data recorder, a leather-wrapped dashboard, and faux-suede upper interior trim. Significantly, all models will come standard with a head-up display featuring a rev counter and lateral-g meters, and the 1LZ and 2LZ models can be optioned with navigation and the performance data recorder, the latter of which we think is a must for track-day heroics.

All Z06 models will also come with GM's magnetorheologic shocks, a five-setting traction-management system, launch control, and an electronic limited-slip differential. For $2995 extra, a carbon-fiber ground-effects package adds a front splitter, rocker panels, and a sizable rear spoiler, all of which Chevy says contribute to greater aerodynamic downforce. Add $7995 more and the Z07 Performance package (yes, Z07 on the Z06—that's not confusing at all) will build on the above with carbon-ceramic brakes, Michelin Pilot Super Sport Cup rubber, and adjustable front and rear aero components for the carbon-fiber ground effects. Other options include competition-style sport seats upholstered in leather or faux suede, carbon-fiber interior trim (including carbon-fiber tonneau-cover inserts for convertible models), an exposed-carbon-fiber roof panel for coupes, numerous wheel finishes, and painted brake calipers.



GM did not provide the price of 2LZ and 3LZ equipment groups, but a Chevrolet spokesman said that a Z06 3LZ coupe with the Z07 package and all the boxes checked would come in just above $100K, which is, incidentally, cheaper than the Dodge Viper as well as the base 2013 Corvette ZR1, which started at $113,595 during its swan-song year.

We will whip up a full How We'd Spec It story in coming weeks, but for what it's worth, the tracksters among us are already leaning toward the 1LZ coupe with the carbon-fiber ground-effects and Z07 Performance packages, which would ring up a total of $89,985, including destination. GM will start taking orders during the fourth quarter of this year, with deliveries commencing in January. We can hardly wait.
