Re: Z450 (larryf)
Larry, I have some pics on the home computer that I will post for you later today. They had one at Tom Jumper Chevy in the new Machine silver. The price of the option is about $9K, bring the total of the car to $62k :crazy:
If I remember right it had long tube headers, a crappy Y cold air intake, Tuning, Chrome EOM Z06 wheels, screens in the side coves and I can't remember what else. The 450hp claim is at the crank for sure. After I added up what it would cost you to install the same options yourself on a Z06, it would come to about $5000 or less.
You can get a new Z06 for $5k+ off sticker and have or do the mods yourself. I don't think that they would be willing to come off of sticker for the Z450 package yet.

Re: Z450 (larryf)
IMO the machine silver has alot of pewter in it. More then you can see from the pics.
A few of the items that I missed that are part of the Z450 package are:
X-pipe
Hurst shifter
window tint

Re: Z450 (Vegasr)
Just something to think about but, as soon as you bolt on a set of headers you have voided the waranty at most dealerships. So you are paying extra for the mods but retaining the factory waranty.

Re: Z450 (Z06ufgrad2002)
So this is basically a 62K 450hp corvette with a warranty, correct? Considering all the discounts on corvettes after the C6 will be shown you can probably get the Z450 package in the mid to low 50s-not a bad deal! Does it come in any other colors (TR, MY)? Will any of the supporting dealers offer the Z450 package?

Re: Z450 (Vegasr)
:banghead: If i had $9700 to spend on upgrade on my 03 Z06, it would have a lot more than 450 hp at the fly. What a dealer rip off. :nono:

Re: Z450 (larryf)
OK I did the research:
The Z450 at Tom Jumper has, vararam intake, Hurst shifter, SLP long tube headers, Magnaflow X pipe, chrome rims and window tint.
The Z450 at Bill Heard Town Center is a HP package only which is cheaper it has everything above but no window tint, no shifter, no chrome rims. But it has Borla Stingers sounds mean!!!!
The one of a kind C5 called the C400 package which is not a one of a kind they have two is at Bill Heard Town Center it is a 400hp car that is as fast as a Z06 with a removable top so the best of both worlds IMO.
I checked with both and if anyone is interested in the cars I know you can get $2000.00 right off the top on the package just IM me. In saying that I know you can walk with the Z450 in the high 50's.
I drove the Z450 it is under factory warranty at Bill Heard and Tom Jumper that is why it uses parts like hurst and SLP because they are sold and honored by GM. The Z450 is for the person looking for a turnkey car with a warranty that hauls butt.:auto:
Cheers Guys
