"When it was all over, all six R&amp;amp;amp;T drivers on this test liked the Z06 best. Even test driver Milner lapped fastest in it and seemed to have the biggest smile on his face when he came in\u2014though he diplomatically said if he could take one home, it would be a toss-up between the stunning power of the supercharged ZR1 and the all-around balance of the 7.0-liter Z06. To our staffers, though, the Z06 was the do-everything king. It&amp;#039;s a stunning achievement for Chevrolet to have built a sports car with this extreme level of performance\u2014second to none in the world\u2014that&amp;#039;s a near perfect track car and also such a pleasant everyday driver. It just feels good, all the time.        2012 Chevrolet Corvette Z06    The ZR1 is the ideal car for the buyer to whom ultimate performance is everything. It&amp;#039;s the fastest and most powerful car ever built by Chevrolet, which is saying something. There may be an element of overkill here, but when you stand on the throttle on Spring Mountain&amp;#039;s back straight, it&amp;#039;s hard to argue with that surge of speed and sensory pleasure. It offers all the suspension refinements of the Z06, but with another 133 bhp and a little less agility on the track. If that works for you, the only other question is money.        2012 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1    The Grand Sport, as we said, is the performance bargain here. An upgrade in suspension and interior over the standard convertible or coupe, with a wider frame, better brake cooling and a more sculpted body shape. A good choice if you don&amp;#039;t want to make the financial reach to a Z06, but still like to get out on the track for club meets, or just have a tauter car on the street\u2014with better tires.        2012 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport Convertible    The Corvette convertible\u2014with its &amp;quot;mere&amp;quot; 430 bhp\u2014is naturally going to appear under-equipped next to these upscale brethren, but for most drivers it&amp;#039;s all they&amp;#039;re ever going to require out of a sports car. As a cost-is-some-object buyer, I&amp;#039;d get the standard Corvette myself and then buy an alternate set of wheels and tires if I wanted to do a lapping day at Road America or Blackhawk Farms. The top-down thing is nice, too.      2012 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible    But if that lottery ticket came through, I&amp;#039;d run out tomorrow and buy a Z06.
