Choosing a 2027 Corvette trim starts with the model line, not just the model level. Five separate cars, Stingray, Grand Sport, Z06, ZR1 and ZR1X, each run their own 2-3 rung trim ladder, and pricing spans $71,000 to $238,500 before destination. A buyer cross-shopping a loaded Stingray against a base Z06 is really cross-shopping two different price tiers with two different engines, not two trims of the same car.

Outten Chevrolet of Allentown stocks across the lineup, from an entry Stingray 1LT to an allocation-limited ZR1X. Every trim on every model line carries its own starting price and standard equipment, detailed below with the matchups buyers ask about most. See the Corvette buyers guide for engines, specs and maintenance alongside pricing.

Common 2027 Corvette Trim Comparisons

Stingray vs Grand Sport

Both run the identical 535-hp LS6 V8, so the choice is chassis and price, not power. Grand Sport carries the Z06's 3.6-inch-wider body and stance for a $15,000 premium over a comparable Stingray trim. Buyers who want the Stingray's power and technology but prefer a wider, more planted look choose Grand Sport; buyers focused purely on value choose Stingray.

Z06 vs ZR1

Both use a 5.5L flat-plane-crank V8 at a similar displacement, but the Z06's LT6 is naturally aspirated while the ZR1's LT7 is twin-turbocharged, the difference between 670 hp and 1,064 hp. A Z06 buyer wants the highest-revving naturally aspirated engine Chevrolet builds; a ZR1 buyer wants the largest power number available without going hybrid.

ZR1 vs ZR1X

Same twin-turbo LT7 engine, but the ZR1X adds a front electric drive unit for 1,250 combined hp against the ZR1's 1,064, plus electrified all-wheel drive and a Stealth Mode electric-only crawl. The ZR1X's $29,800 premium over a comparable ZR1 buys the quickest 0-60 in the lineup, 1.89 seconds against 2.3.

The 2027 Corvette Value Verdict and Step-Up Guide

The Stingray 1LT is the volume trim: it carries the same 535-hp engine as every Stingray and Grand Sport trim above it, so the step-ups buy technology and interior finish, not more power.

Stingray 1LT to 2LT	+$7,100	14-speaker audio, Performance Data Recorder, Head-Up Display	Buyers who want the full tech suite and track-data logging

Stingray 1LT to Grand Sport 1LT	+$15,000	The Z06's wider chassis and stance, same engine	Buyers who want the wide-body look without the Z06's engine step
Grand Sport 1LT to Z06 1LZ	+$35,500	670-hp naturally aspirated flat-plane V8, standard carbon-ceramic-ready brakes	Track-day buyers who want the highest-revving engine in the lineup
Z06 1LZ to ZR1 1LZ	+$76,200	Twin-turbo 1,064-hp V8, standard carbon-ceramic brakes	Buyers chasing the largest power number without going hybrid
ZR1 1LZ to ZR1X 1LZ	+$29,800	Front electric drive unit, eAWD, Stealth Mode, the quickest 0-60 in the lineup	Buyers who want the outright quickest Corvette ever built
