The Hertz ZHZ was a special build for Hertz, not an option. The ZR1 and Z06 are marketed by themselves not as an option.

FYI
My 93 Ruby coupe had Z51 suspension, and it came with all the tires the same size so front to back rotation was achievable.

A very Merry Christmas to all.

Z51 wasn't offered in 1993, Selective Ride and Handling, electronic was the other choice.
