Z18 European Commemorative Edition Pkg.* only 150 made.
*: As per Corvette Quarterly, Winter 2003, pg. 33: "...Z18 is made just for Europe...only about 150 will be produced. The Z18 is actually an interesting mixture of U.S. Commemorative Editon coupe (Z15) and Z06 (Z16) specs. With Le Mans Blue Metallic paint and stripes that mimic this year's C5-R race cars, its outward appearance is similar to the American Commemorative Edition coupe. But the hood panel is carbon fiber like on the Z06, and inside are Z06 seats uniquely embroidered with C5 logos. A standard LS1 engine delivers 350hp through a manual six-speed transmission. For enthusiastic drivers, the greatest benefit of this low-volume collectable is its handling. The Z18 also sports Z06 brake calipers, Goodyear Eagle F1 Super Car tires and an upgraded suspension (a modified FE4 system) that was developed on the famous Nurburgring Nordschleife in Germany."
LS1 engine not an LS6 as in the ZO6. Guess the Europeans cant handle the 405 HP engine Just kidding. Must be a Europeanian Union auto requirenment thing.
See if you can figure this out from the stats provided by the above link:
There were a total of 34064 C5's produced in the 2004 model year.
There were 5843 with F55 Suspension
There were 24664 with the Base FE1 Suspension
There were 3672 with the FE3 (part of Z51 package) suspension
There were 5683 with the FE4 (Z06) Suspension
Total........ 39862
The disparrity is 5798. How's that?
I am also suprised at how few FE3 cars were produced for 2004. That's what got me looking at this in the first place.
