The 2016 Z06 is based on the 2016 Stingray design, but adds a slightly wider frame and tires, making the 2016 Corvette an even more aerodynamic vehicle.

C5 Z06 wins because it is not just another base model corvette. the C6 roadster might be newer, ride a little nicer, and have more options, but It is just a base model corvette. the Z06 is elite. If you are buying it for the DD experience then it doesn’t matter which one you get.

I went from a stock 2002 C5Z with CAI to a Z51 6M 2005 Corvette coupe. In a straight out drag race, WOT, Gear Grabbin’, Power shiftin’, the 2002Z would get the nod. However, in every day driving, the Z51 car felt stronger at part throttle and overall driving around town.
