All factory z06 engines are 427. There are plenty of z06s out there with larger engines so I wouldn't say all z06s are 427s.

All C6 Z06's are LS7 427's. 2006-2013. All are 505 HP. All are 6 speed manual tranny's. None have a removable roof.

C5 Z06 is LS6. 405 HP. 2001-2004. (2001 was 385 HP)

No Z06 was made in 2005.

All C6 Z06s have poorly designed heads resulting in catastrophic engine failure with no resolution from GM. Please upgrade your heads or prepare to pay $15k down the road for a new motor.

Thank you Captain Sky Is Falling.
The truth of the matter is "some" have experienced engine failure so you may want to be proactive and have your valve guide clearance checked. They're not all bad heads.
