Default Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 Question

Do they still make the tire in ZP? Also is there a difference in track performance?

They still make them in Vette sizes but nowhere on the website does it say if it's a ZP. With that being said, yes they still make them since they come on ZR1's, Z07 Z06's and Grand Sports which are still rolling out of the factory.

What about the Cup 2 tire I keep seeing that doesn't have the ZP code? Is that more of a streetable tire?

Non zero pressure Cup 2's have more tread then the Corvette TPC spec tires, but isn't anymore streetable really. The Cup 2's should really only be used on a road circuit, they take too long to heat up and are a thinner lighter construction tire which is easily punctured. If the tires you're looking for are to be used on the street or drag strip you're better off getting the new Pilot Sport 4S.
