Here are some places you can start to read up on the differences.

Basically, exterior based on the Fixed roof coupe, different wheels, more HP/Tq, rear brake cooling ducts, transmission cooler

Fixed roof only on Z06 making it 12% stiffer and in conjunction with the FE4 suspension unique to the Z06, far better handling than a regular C5. More power - 385 in 2001 and 405 thereafter.
02 Z06 onwards has a more aggressive cam and sodium filled valves. 02 Z06 onwards has HUD as standard but the 01 Z06 never had the HUD. Z06 is lighter than the C5 as well.
