Which is quicker?
0-60 mph
The Corvette E-Ray is quicker to 60 mph by 0.1 s: 2.5 s vs 2.6 s (manufacturer figures).
Quarter mile
The Corvette Z06 is quicker through the quarter mile: 10.7 s vs 11.0 s (both tested by MotorWeek).
Top speed
A top speed is not published for both cars.
Why
The Corvette E-Ray drives all four wheels while the Corvette Z06 is rear-wheel drive; all-wheel drive usually helps most off the line, which is why AWD cars often win to 60 mph and give some of it back over longer distances.

How we compare
We compare like with like: two automaker claims when both exist, otherwise two instrumented tests, and we say so when we have to mix them. Where a source lists several configurations, we lead with the quickest one it states (and name it). Acceleration times depend on surface, temperature, tires, fuel and launch technique, so a gap of 0.1 s is within the noise.
No figure here is simulated or estimated. Blank cells mean no automaker figure and no named instrumented test we could cite. Figures are for the model year shown; later updates can change them.
