Quick Answer: The available Z51 Performance Package on the 2027 Corvette Stingray adds Brembo brakes, Z51 suspension tuning, a performance rear axle ratio, an electronic limited-slip differential, unique aero pieces, Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 tires, and heavy-duty cooling required for track use.

What Does the Z51 Performance Package Include?

Z51 is an available package on the 2027 Corvette Stingray built for track and canyon driving, adding upgraded brakes, suspension, cooling, and aerodynamics.

  • Brembo performance brakes for stronger, more consistent stopping power
  • Z51 performance suspension tuning
  • A performance rear axle ratio for sharper acceleration
  • Electronic limited-slip differential (eLSD) for better corner exit traction
  • Z51-specific front splitter and rear spoiler for added downforce
  • Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 tires, 245/35ZR19 front and 305/30ZR20 rear, summer-only run-flat construction
  • Heavy-duty cooling, required for sustained track use

Who Should Order the Z51 Package?

Z51 makes the most sense for drivers who plan to track their Stingray or want sharper handling on twisty roads; the heavy-duty cooling is required for sustained track use, which tells you what the package is built for. Will County drivers who track their cars ask most about the eLSD and rear axle ratio, since those two pieces make the biggest difference exiting corners, and our team at Webb Chevy Plainfield can walk through the full Z51 spec sheet before you order. Magnetic Selective Ride Control 4.0 is also available and can be paired with Z51 for adjustable damping.
