Completely stupid question here but....
Is it Z06 (zero) or ZO6? I always thought it was Z06 but it is always pronounced Z"O"6. Just curious, thats all...
Also, is the wheel height the same on the Z06? 17 in front and 18 in rear? I heard they had 18s all the way around...
I just got me a 99 Torch Red FRC last Saturday and I am loving it!!!! After a little break I am back on the forum full force now!!! I guess it is no longer SmoknLT4 - maybe SmoknFRC or SmoknLS1.

The proper designation (as far as the GM option code is concerned) is "Z Zero Six". but most everyone says "Z Oh Six" when speaking.
The Z06's came with 17x9.5 and 18x10.5 wheels. This is the same diameter but 1" wider than the "normal" C5's, which use 17x8.5 and 18x9.5 wheels.

hmmmm, 4o9 sounds better just like z06. we're all too lazy to say zero.

Yeah, Im a motorcycle guy as well and I have heard the Kawasaki ZX-9 referred to as the Zed-X 9. Anyway, dont get me wrong, nothing bothers me about the pronunciation - I just like to act like I know what Im talking about!!
