No, there's no engine choice. For any particular model of C6 you order, it will come with only a particular engine.

Agreed on both counts. Unfortunately, it's no longer the case where one can choose among six or seven engines when ordering a Corvette. The good news is that we now get as
standard an engine that's considerably stronger than what was the highest-powered optional engine in the "good old days", regardless of which model C6 you own.

No one that I know of are happy with the diesel, so I would stay away from that option.

No disrespect, but if you don't already know, you are not ready to order. More homework needed.

Z06 and ZR1 are not engine choices. They are C6 model choices.
