There is no such thing as an A4 Z06 from the factory. They come with the M12 manual tranny and shot-peened 3.42 gears.

Automatic Transmissions have Torque Convertors

Manual Transmissions (6 speed) have a Manual Clutch

All Z06's are Manual Transmissions

Hummm Interesting, I thought all people that could afford Corvettes understood business basics and knew... that all people that work at GM are not mechanics..

They also have accountants, buyers of materials, supplier development, power house operators, facility maintenance people, janitors, snow removal, ground keepers, production control and logistical management, indirect material management.... and on and on... maybe he installs tires on the cars, nothing to do with fuel injectors or spark plugs.

We all have stuff to learn...

I have countless customers who are auto manufacturing engineers that couldn't tell you what the part they are making does, much less where or what it goes in.

OK, Bill. Are you going to dig out some obscure RPO code nobody ever heard of? We're talkin' factory Z06 C5's that Ed Schmoe can order from the dealer not any one-offs you GM engineers are privy to.
