Give tirerack.com a call and they can help. I don’t have a Z06, but I understand the OEM tire size isn’t widely available - - I’m sure they’ll recommend a size/brand that’ll fit fine without adversely affecting the speedometer or traction control.

Other than OEM? Yes.
Toyo Proxes are pretty much the go-to for most people currently. Bridgestone did but don't think anymore. Michelin maybe also still does?

In stock sizes, the only ones I could find were the Toyo Proxes and Goodyear F1. Goodyear’s were about $1600 out the door at discount tire. They couldn’t get me the Toyo’s so I had to order on line. Jeg’s has them for about $725 shipped. Discount quoted me $105 to mount and balance.

Huh, really? That'd be odd... have a link?
Found Tirerack shows them and the Bridgestone to be heavier, wonder if it's true.
