If you scroll down this page roughly 2/3 of the way to the bottom, you'll see complete details.

Thanks. I should have done that as the site is more informative overall.

Your post with your screen name above the post about the guy who got his vette backed into made me chuckle.

All for $2,800 bucks. Best bang for the buck ever!

So true!
Z51 Performance Package
The Z51 Performance Package (available on 1LT, 2LT or 3LT), elevates Corvette Stingray to its top performance level. This package includes:
larger 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels
dry sump oil system
Electronic Limited Slip Differential
larger front brakes (13.6 inch vs. 12.6 inch) with black calipers
specific shocks, springs and stabilizer bars
differential and transmission cooling
unique Aero Package that reduces lift for high-speed stability
Michelin® Pilot® Super Sport® ZP summer-only tires (DISCLOSURE) that are aggressively tuned to provide outstanding handling, grip and road-holding capability
available Magnetic Selective Ride Control and Performance Traction Management
HD Cooling
Slotted Brake Rotors
Performance Gear Ratios

The Z51 wheels are also of a differing (some say better looking) style. Standard is a 5-split spoke style and come in Silver, or optionally Chrome or Black.

There is also an optional Torque style wheel for the Z51.

OP, I strongly recommend you check the several posts about the magnetic selective ride control that is available as an option with the Z-51 package. Consensus is it is worth it if you can afford it but not unanimous!
