I bought mine at Harbour Freight. They have 3 or 4 different ones. The one I bought comes in a nice canvas bag and has a stainless body. Cost <$30. I haven't had to use it on the Vette, but it worked fine on my wife's Subaru. You will need a 12V extension to go with it.

That's the one I have. Use it pretty much every weekend autoxing. Cheap, durable, works well.

I bought a Campbell Hausfeld one from Wal-Mart - works very well and small enough to easily fit in the rear storage compartments.

The compressor that comes with a Z06 works very well. Unfortunately I once had to use it, pumps up fast. That's the one that came with my car. You might be able to find one, also comes in it's own case that fits in the side rear compartment. Includes some sealant and other stuff if you find a complete one. It also can hold additional items if you choose. I carry anything I could need to plug a tire, too. It all fits in there.
