Default Z51??

Hey everyone,
Would it be accurate to say that if a C6 has drilled rotors front and back that its a Z51?
Thanks...

Hey George,

Not quite.

07+ F55 equipped Vettes also have the same crossdrilled brakes as the Z51.

So if it has the crossdrilled brakes, and no tour/sport switch on the center console, THEN its a Z51

Or, someone could of 'added' new rotors. Just open the glove box and look.

The reason i posted this is because I was at a car show, and didnt have access to the owner or the inside of his car. I told the person I was with that it was a Z51 equipped car, but wasnt sure if I was giving accurate information. If it was my car, and didnt know, I would just open the glove box and look....
