It is simple to overlook that the 2025 Corvette Z06 has an 8,600 RPM flat-plane crank V-8 and you’ll simply go purchase one at your native Chevy seller. Even if you cannot cough up the $113,795 to purchase one, you possibly can nonetheless snoop across the configurator to ponder some very tempting what-ifs. That is very true on condition that America’s sports activities automotive is extra customizable than ever.
What acquired us most excited—and why you possibly can press pause on that spreadsheet—is the Z06’s new shade: Hysteria Purple Metallic. The deep shade of purple seems to be wonderful when mixed with a set of the automotive’s bronze alloy wheels. And it does not even value something additional.
The bronze wheels boost a whole lot of the opposite regular colours too, like Sea Wolf Grey Tricoat ($995). The colour is successfully only a flat grey, however with the addition of a little bit bronze, it seems to be much more like an intentional shade selection, versus simply checking a field for a non-offensive exterior hue.
Sadly, you possibly can’t have the flat-green shade Cacti on the Z06, though it’s accessible on the similarly-priced E-Ray, which is annoying. You can also’t have a brown Z06 anymore. Not many individuals desire a brown Corvette, because it seems.
The seen carbon fiber wheels will set you again virtually $14,000, however to be sincere, it is exhausting to discover a shade they work with anyway. The fundamental five-spoke design on the Z06 is decidedly inferior to the brand new fashion we have seen on the ZR1. A black-on-black automotive with darkish gray brake calipers a minimum of blends every part collectively.

Weirdly, the costlier you make a C8 Z06 the uglier it tends to get. The Carbon wheels are the costliest and, as beforehand talked about, do not look nice. Likewise, the costliest model of these wheels has a purple accent alongside the rim, which I’ve personally by no means preferred.
That red-accent wheels are $15,500 alone. I made a decision to place them on a purple/black automotive, The Gamer Spec, which prices proper round $185,000. The bottom worth of a 2025 Z06, for reference, is $127,345.

Finally, the perfect combo goes to be what you need, and between all the numerous trims of Corvette, there’s sure to be one thing to love. If there is not up to now, nicely, we now have a fairly good concept that there is a minimum of yet one more trim coming, so simply wait and see what the Zora has in-store when it comes round.
So, head over to Chevy’s Z06 configurator and do some daydreaming.
