Engine
I did both research both the forum and google didn't getting nothing that answer my question. My question is what make an engine a Z06? Is it some sort of part or what. I thought that all LS1,LS2,LS3,LS7 were all the same but produce different power. But I dont see why a Z06 would have anything to do with this beside an upgrade. I'm new to vette so bared with me
. I'm still learning about them. Thanks.

So the years 01 to now are Z06 that have a LS6 motor and other package? Cause I notice that the new Z06 and ZR1 bodystyle are different.

01-04 are the C5Z06's--GM didn't make a Z06 in 05, the 06-now are the C6Z06's and the ZR1 is a totally different animal. The best Z06's are scientifically proven to be the 02's, and of the 02's the fastest are the Red ones., this has been tested over and over again by an independent research lab.

Wow! If I look up NOOB in the dictionary will there be a picture of you there? ALL vehicles change a bit from year to year...this includes Honda Civics and Toyota Corrolas. GM cant just keep making the exact same Corvette over and over again. Lol.
AS far as year and color...pretty much ANY black C6Z will smoke anything on the planet....at least that is what I read.

The best Z06's are scientifically proven to be the 02's, and of the 02's the fastest are the Red ones., this has been tested over and over again by an independent research lab.
The phisyks show White to be "potentially" the phastsest. E=EmCee []'ed x Pi(R round) x circumfrential navigation, shows the quotient of farce to be more potent with White. White being the lightest pigment + reflecting the most light, (Black absorbing the most light creating the photon overload effect). The frontal photon coefficient being lower on the C5, means there are more reflected photons pushing it forward than those resisting it's progression. Hence White "should" be faster, but it was only offered in the C5Z in '01 with a lesser horsepower rating.
In actuality though, Blue '02's had a "special" assembly team assigned to make certain every effort was put forth to assure they left the assembly line with perfectly balanced chi. No Electrons were spared in the final "preperation" for delivery.
(Of coarse some of the above may not be totally accarite)

New Scientific Evidence
Apparently, Millenium Yellow Z06s channel the photons of the sun into a pseudo thrust pattern out the back giving just enough extra acceleration to cause all other colors to be equivalent to Subaru Outback performance standards....

It all boils down to this, black is beautiful, yellow is mellow, blue is cool, white is alright, grey is ok, but Red will keep you ahead /get you head..
