No!
The first year of the Z06 was in 2001 and it came with the 385 HP Motor as opposed to the 405 HP the following year!
I believe there was a cam change in the motor and more compression that warranted the extra HP on the following year! Here is the specs @ corvette action center:

Here is a little more info @ Wikipedia:

As said above, the 405 hp motor wasn't available until the '02 model run.

First 2002 production date........
Actually , according to Corvette Registery the first full day of 2002 Vette production was on June 22nd 2001 ( a friday). The last 2001 was produced on June 21st 2001. My Z06 was a June 18th car.
There was no 405hp '01 Z06 officially but the forged Alcoa rims were still available on early 2002 Z06es.

I looked at an '01 at a dealer. He had it listed as 405 hsp, and I told him he was wrong. He actually argued with me about it.
So I got in the car pulled up the codes - a whole bunch popped up, and I said here while your learning about Corvettes you might want to look into what all these codes mean, and then I left.

Thanks all. I know '02 was the first year for 405 hp..I had an '02 that I kick myself everyday for selling. The reason I asked was that I read a local ad for an '01 that said 405hp so I called and asked if it was an '01 or '02. The answer was a very adamant it's an '01 with a window sticker etc.. showing 405 hp. At the end of the conversation I was confused and the seller was a little peeved. I thought maybe this was another tidbit about Vettes that I did not know.
