Default What is the correct stock idle speed for a C6 Z06

What is the correct stock idle speed for a C6 Z06? I drove a 2010 Z06 today that idled at 600RPM. That seems low to me (My C5 Z06 idles at 800RPM)

Thanks for the very helpful answers guys. Um, Ryne, I am unfamiliar with the C6 Z06.............that's why I asked I asked these knowlegable guys

BTW did I mention that I also drove a Mongoose Grand Sport replica with a cage. The cage did NOT have a removable door bar. Do any of the Forum members have an easy solution to entry and exit of a GS coupe without a removable door bar or wheel?
