The sticker on your glove box will give you information if you can decode the options.
If you send your VIN to Gene Culley or Patrick at GMPARTSHOUSE, they can provide you the GM VIS which will tell you pertinent dates, recalls performed, warranty performed, etc. They are members of this forum and a great source of GM parts at good savings...

The National Corvette Museum can reprint your window sticker and build sheet for a little $$. Directions are on their website. As mentioned before your RPO codes found in the glovebox give you all the information you need.

You have quite an issue going on there if you really think you have a 2001 Z06 (from your 1/19 post).
Your 6th and 8th digits say it is NOT a Z06:
6th digit:
2 - Body Style: 1=FRC/Z06, 2=Two Door Hatchback, 3=vert.
8th digit:
G - Motor Type Specific to year G=LS1/S=LS6

Still doesn't make sense it is obviously a FRC with a ....er wrong vin plate? Did you actually touch the car? How hot did it feel?
