Z51 was available on all model year C5 convertibles, but it could not be ordered in conjunction with the F45 or F55. We ordered our '03 vert with the Z51.
If you're asking about the C4, the folks over in C4 General may be in a better postion to answer your question rather than here in C5 General.

Z51s in the fourth generation have the FE7 heavy duty suspension (with the exception of `96). C4 verts (without the optional hard top) couldn't handle the aggressiveness of the Z51, ZR1 and Z07, so were all were restricted to coupes.
The advancement and design of the C5 and C6 allow it to have a range of suspension options without added support like the C4 verts X frame.
