Hagerty has the 2006-13 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 pegged at $55,900 in its 2026 Bull Market List, one of eleven cars Hagerty flagged for near-term appreciation. This is the C6-generation Z06, the naturally aspirated 505-horsepower version built before Chevy strapped a supercharger onto the nameplate.

The Last Great Naturally Aspirated Corvette

Chevrolet built the Z06 with a hydroformed aluminum frame and a dry-sump oiling system borrowed straight from racing applications, all in service of a car that could run with contemporary exotics costing several times as much.

Why Hagerty Thinks the Price Is About to Move

Hagerty’s 2026 Bull Market List is built by a data team analyzing millions of data points covering public auction results, private sales insights, insurance data along with buyer and seller behavior.

Where It Fits Among the Other Ten Cars

Chevrolet’s own performance-per-dollar pitch when the C6 Z06 launched, undercutting European exotics with domestic muscle and a race-bred chassis, is essentially the same pitch collectors are making for it today.

The Bottom Line

At $55,900, the C6 Z06 isn’t cheap, but relative to the performance it delivers, it still reads like a deal.
