Real Z51 rotors have both three rows of holes (fronts), AND two rows of holes (rears)...No slots in either.
And this, my friends, is what they look like:

If your brakes squeal and your tires wear out in 15k miles, you have the Z51 package! And don't be embarrased...we all started somewhere!

The cross-dressing rotors hang out at the gay bars not sway bars.

Find a bridge or overpass support. Pull up to it, then back away exactly 122 feet. Mark the spot. Back up another 1/4 mile or so. Drive toward bridge. Get up to 60. When you reach the 122 foot mark, apply the brakes. If you stop before you hit the bridge, you have Z-51.
