Default 2004 best options

Hello everyone.
In getting ready to start the search for a 2004 C5 sometime after winter, I am preparing a list of must-have options. Basically, I am looking for a loaded LS6/Z51 package in a coupe (non-hardtop, non-convt.) and needs some advice on what the best options are so I do not miss out on anything good.

Thanks!

If you want an LS6 then your only choice is the Z06 and it only comes in the hard top(FRC). You can get a coupe with the Z51 suspension option however, but your only choice of engine in the coupe is the LS1. Don't fret that though because if you really have your heart set on a coupe then the LS1 is just a few decent mods away from running competitively with the LS6. Good luck.

Oh. I thought that for all 2002 or later vettes, it was an LS6 Block. I guess that is only for the Z06 then.. I originally was aiming for the Z06, but really like the coupe rear window and targa-type top...

Thanks much!
