Z51 specifications
I have questions about the Z51 that may have been answered before, but I don't know where.
1) Where are the three extra coolers (engine, transmission, steering) located?
2) How big are they?
3) How much weight does the total Z51 package add to the base Corvette?
4) Is the A6 gearing and performance the same or different?
Thank you very much.

I think the oil and tranny coolers are inside the radiator. Power steering right behind and at the bottom of the radiator.
A6 gearing is the same on Z51 and non-Z51. Only the manual is different.

For 2006, the A6 gearing and rear axle ratio are always the same, with or without Z51.
Last year, the A4 with Z51 automatically got the performance axle, or the performance axle could be ordered as a stand-alone option.
For both years, the MANUAL 6 speed gets more aggressive gears when you order Z51, and those gears are NOT available as a stand-alone option.
