[Z06] Z06 RPO Code




On the C6Z the 1LZ and 2LZ are "Option Packages". One option package will be more expensive because it has more options. I think the 2LZ option is the highest $$ option.
There were only 4-5 options on the C5 Z06 so I don't think they had option packages for it.

In 1963 you could order a Corvette with RPO Z06, which was a "race" package that included upgraded suspension, brakes, a larger fuel tank, and the 327 cu. in. engine with fuel injection rated at 360 HP.
That option code became so "famous" that when Chevy came out with the C5 with a "race" package, they named it after the old RPO code ... hence our MODEL is called the Z06.

The window sticker says 2002 CORVETTE z06
The only options were
memory package
electrochromatic mirrrors & body side moldings
now for the different part
the build sheet says Z06 then lists the various RPO's includes stating Z06 after each
ar9 base seat
B84 mldg
CJ2 a/c elect
DD8 ls mirror
FE4 Z06 susp
GU6 3.42 axel
LS6 5.7l Engine Z06
m12 6spd trns Z06
uno am/fm cd
uz6 Bose spkr
u73 fixed ant
xfw tire
yfu tire
p12 Z06 whls
so it seems that as with many of Gm's stuff it's a bit ambigous as wether or not Z06 is a model or RPO code or both

I know the '63 Z06 had a RPO Z06 but I originally asked about the C5 Z06 and Im in the C5 Z06 section.
