38 PSI is really high and note that the PSI will rise as the tires warm up while driving.
Also the readings in your dash are more for monitoring the pressures if they go abnormally low, or high, and will vary compared to the Actual PSI in the tires.
Trust your tire gauge for a more exact PSI readings when setting the pressure

Congrats! Sweet looking ride. We know the feeling. I smile every time I fire my Corvette up, even if it is for a short ride. Remember to wave at us. :

[QUOTE=Nosferatu;1587532388]Simply look at the rotors. Are the smooth or dotted appearing? If they're smooth it's not a Z51. If they are cross-drilled (dotted) then it's a Z51. Tried zooming on the photo they appear to be normal (non-Z51).

Congrats on the ride man!!!



The rotors are drilled and slotted. It might be a Z51. I haven't had time to go take a look yet. Just got home Mon and have been running since trying to catch up with business.

Original Z51 rotors would only be Drilled.
Drilled "and" Slotted are custom aftermarket which isn't a bad thing.
With that in mind it's also possible the brake calipers have been upgraded.

Could be. It stops on the proverbial dime. I just went out and checked the glove box sticker. It's a Z51. That wasn't even listed on the ad for this car. I'm thinking I got a good deal for under $25k with 58k miles. Course I'm sure someone got the same thing for $1.25 but, I'm happy.
