lol you didn't know your car was a Z51? nice You didn't ever wonder why your vette had larger cross drilled rotors or different tires than other vettes? im just giving you a hard time the Z51 is a nice package I have it on my 05 and wouldn't have bought a C6 without it. It has different suspension setup, the larger brakes, stickier supercar tires, different 6spd tranny gearing (if you have the 6spd manual obviously), oil coolers etc etc.

Yes i have the 6spd and honestly it was the first C6 i looked at and just thought they all had the drilled rotors. Coming from a 99 coupe this is quite a difference. Im very excited today though

It was picked up by the original owner at the Bowling Green plant in Kentucky where they make all vettes.
You get a tour of the plants production line and your car is already waiting for you inside, roped off with your name displayed in a special "new born" area.

I was filling my gas tank in my vette, saw a nice red vette pull up. The guy also didn't know he had the z51 package. He owned it for 1 year. Not everyone knows all the feature codes of their vettes.

Very true. It's always exciting to help out fellow members/owners truly enjoy all the components of their Corvettes.

All in jest of course.
