I actually did notice the C6 mirrors were from the C5.
I was expecting more angled mirrors to match the body. oh well.

Also - the LS1 is 44lbs lighter than the LT4 used in the C4.

The 1998 convertible weighed 114 lbs less than the C4 convertible, yet it is more than 4 times stiffer torsionally.

That's all I've got - and it is courtesy of the Corvette Black Book by Mike Antonick.
Didn't they go back to the normal order after 97 due to the syncopated exhaust note it had??? I swear I read that some owners were not happy with the off rumble of the exhaust...so GM changed it back to standard after 97...it was in a Corvette History book I have...
