Default Differences in HP

I'm considering getting back in a Corvette. What is the difference between a Z06, ZR1 & the GS ?
I'm talking about late model C6's.

ZR1 prices are really starting to come down, if I were buying now, that's what I'd go for. Even with my car having more HP than a ZR1, I'd swap for one in a heartbeat.
