It's a CE Z06 package. Every bit as fast as any other stock Z06.

Default ce

okay makes senses however if im not mistaken all 04 z06s come with a carbon fiber hood, lighter battery, lighter exhaust and a thinner front windshield (quoted from gm high tech performance mag.october 2004)
thats where the weight difference starts against the other vettes

All new for 04 because it just came out in 04.....ZO6 does not have the CF hood, only Z16....
