VIN Deciphering
I was wondering how to decipher a VIN on a Corvette. Mainly I am wondering if there is a code; letter or number or series of numbers that tell that the car is a true Z06? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you for you time.

Look at a bunch of C5/Z06 cars for sale on EBAY (or elsewhere) and study the VIN sequence of each. That's how I discovered it.
That should give you a clue as to what a C5/Z06 car should have in the VIN.
Here's some examples, no year in particular, but all C5/Z06 cars...
