ZO7 Package?
I know the ZO7 package has different rubber than the regular ZO6 but are the wheel and tire sizes the same? Besides the ceramic rotors and tires are there and suspension differences? I don't want to buy anything that rides harsher than a reg ZO6. Thanks, Mike

My Z06 has the Z07 package and I don't mind it at all, but I was expecting the stiffer suspension.
There are times a rough road in sport or track mode will shake the steering wheel much more than my 2014 Z51, which was a little alarming at first. Just guessing, I would say that sport mode in the Z06/Z07 is a bit firmer than a Z51 in sport mode, maybe 1/2 way between sport and track on the Z51.
If you want the Carbon Ceramic brakes of the Z07 they can be ordered individually, but they are about the price of the Z07 package (but they don't require you to buy Stage 3 Aero so it can be cheaper overall).

Thanks HalfMoon. This is a low mileage 2016 ZO6 and I would be trading my 2016 Z51 w/mag ride. The dealer is not in my area but if the car does have the ZO7 package I would not be interested. My 70 year old joints just tolerate the Z51-no more.

The Z07 has the same size tires as the Z06, but has different sways and springs. It is said to ride a little rougher than the Z06. I'd stick with the Z06 and the standard brakes for street use. The Z06 is still a firmer ride than the Z51.

The springs on the front of the Z06 equipped with the Z07 Track Package are about 60% stiffer! The rears are also stiffer by about 40% I believe...can't remember the exact.
But yes, it will be a much more stable ride.
