2027 Corvette Models Compared in Tulsa, OK
Stingray, Z06, ZR1 and ZR1X compared on power, price and purpose, for Tulsa drivers deciding which 2027 Corvette.
The four rear-focused 2027 Corvettes give a Tulsa buyer four genuinely different cars on one platform, and the choice comes down to a single question: how much of the car's capability do you want to use, and how? The Stingray delivers the whole experience at the lowest price; the Z06 trades price for a naturally aspirated track engine; the ZR1 for outright power and top speed; the ZR1X for that power plus all-wheel-drive traction.

Where Each Car Wins
The Stingray wins on everyday reach
It puts the full 535-hp Corvette experience within reach at $71,000, in a narrower, easier-to-place body, and it is the one you can genuinely drive often. For the buyer who wants the car more than the last tenth of a second, the Stingray is the whole point of the lineup.
The Z06 wins on naturally aspirated feel
Its 670-hp flat-plane V8 and 8,600-rpm redline deliver a sound and a throttle response no turbocharged car matches. For the driver who values how the engine feels on a back road or a track lap, the Z06 is the special one, wide body and forged wheels included.
The ZR1 wins on outright speed
With 1,064 twin-turbo horsepower and a 233-mph top speed, the ZR1 is the fastest rear-drive Corvette ever and runs with the world's elite supercars. For the buyer chasing the biggest number and the highest top speed, this is the car, with standard carbon-ceramic brakes to match.
The ZR1X wins on all-weather launch
Adding a front electric motor gives the ZR1X 1,250 horsepower and all-wheel-drive traction, which is what drops it to 1.89 seconds to 60 mph. For the driver who wants the quickest launch and grip in all conditions, the flagship is the answer.
