Not Daddy's '98? Congratulations! Very cool! Did you find out whether you have the Z51 option, or, not yet?

Look under one of the rear storage compartment lids. There should be a sticker there.

I have driven several Z-06 cars, I like my Z-51 package better, not quite as harsh a ride JMO. There are alot of suspension options you might want to do a search, if your in a vette club or have a friend with a Z-06 go for a ride. You could also test drive one at a car lot, as far as finding a Z-51 to drive that might be tough.
