2006 z51 question
Working with a seller and trying to determine if his 2006 has a z51 package. I asked for a pic of the glove box code sheet, waiting for that. In the mean time it has the "for looks only" cross drilled rotors as a visual confirmation and also the sport seats (perforated) which is my understanding came on z51 packages. Any other visual clues to look for while I wait for code confirmation?

Mine is 2006 with the Z51 performance package. The easiest visual signs it has the package are the cross-drilled slotted rotors. Of course, the owner could have upgraded the brakes and rotors. Z51 is a performance package; the seats are part of the trim level package. If they are sports seats, but there is no HUD, it has the 2LT trim package; if it has the HUD, it has the 3LT trim package.

Retired & lovin' it!
The Z51 option also included a separate oil cooler. It's a small radiator that is mounted ahead of the coolant radiator. And the outboard rear suspension links have grease fittings....should be greased at each engine oil change.

If the car is a manual 6 speed, the radiator will have 2 cooler tanks on both sides (the ends) with steel lines attached to them. The Z51 has both a engine oil and transmission oil cooler.

The separate oil cooler started in later models, the OP is looking at a 2006, same as mine...

Can't trust the HUD. Mine is a 1LT Z51 with a HUD.

I sent the seller a quasi offer after he asked me what I was looking to spend. He's two hours away so I'm trying to arrange to meet half way or so to look at it. The distance isn't that far there is just no interstate to get to where he's at...all highway driving.

Z51 packaged did not come with cross-drilled and slotted rotors, only cross-drilled. If the one you are looking at has the drilled and slotted they have been added,

Thank you for this. I noticed the zerc fittings on my '08 Z51 while doing some work on the rear and was thinking wtf? The last car I owned that had zerc fittings was my 1970 Nova.
