racing Corvettes
I'm fixing to have my engine back together on my car, and look foward to do some rice burner hunting, and maybe even suck the headlights out of a few Corvettes.
Now, I know this car will smoke a C5 Corvette, but I've heard those Z06 Corvettes are scary fast.
My question is, how do you tell the difference betweent the two???

RE: racing Corvettes
Yea and they are fixed roof or FRC for short, they also say Z06 on the fender. Your better be packing a mean punch if plan on taking out the C5's. Also the C6 will be out soon and they are wicked, almost the power of a current Z06, the next Z06(due out in 2006) is rumored to be in the 485-500 hp area.

RE: racing Corvettes
Whats the fender badge on the 00 Z06 say? does it say Z06 385 hp?
I know 03 plus Z06s say "Z06405hp" on the fenders, special Z06 rims, a black rear brake duct behind the driver door (at least thats what I think it is) and they only come with a 6 sp manual.

RE: racing Corvettes
The badge on a 2000 doesn't say anything. The Z06 came out in 2001. But I see where you're going with this. I'm not sure what they say. I think they just say Z06.
They all have the brake duct behind the doors, and they all have the Z06 wheels. You're thinking of the 1999-2000 Hardtop. That was just a regular Corvette with a Hardtop. It was supposed to be a cheaper Corvette, but it didn't sell very well, so they made the Z06 out of it in 2001.

I don think I can hang wit a C5 yet, but I raced a C4 the other day and I dusted his *** off pretty well and as he did the infamous "Ricer flyby" he threw up a rock and it hit my windsheild and now I have a little ding in the bottom driverside corner. [:@] But I still smoked his @$$!

Sorry I couldn't remember the year the Z06 came out, it was 01 now that I looked it up, not 00. (musta been thinking about the 00 R vs 01 Z06 vs 01 Viper ACR shootout video)
I meant the difference between a C5 LS1 and a C5 Z06 is the brake duct, fender badging, 6 sp ONLY and Z06 split 5-spoked rims.

Dont forget that the compression ratio in a Z06 is 10.5 and 10.1 in a regular coupe, the rear end in a Z06 is a 3.42 and in a reg coupe its either 2.73, 3.42, or 3.15. And of course we all know the Z06 comes with bigger tires all the way around.
