Nope, if it has Z51, it would say Z51, as that is the option code.

Z51 is a suspension package (springs, shocks, swaybars, etc), the rearend (axle ratio) makes no difference. Since this is a 6spd car, it comes standard with the 3.42 ratio.
It also doesn't have the F55 magnetic select ride either, which is another suspension option. This car has the base suspension.

Technically RPO# Z51 is the Performance Handling Package which consists of the RPO# FE3 Sport Suspension and a power steering cooler. We have the Z51 package and love it.
