It will have cross drilled rotors.. (Although they also come with magnetic ride suspension cars)
Also look in the glove box and there is a sticker listing all the options of the car.. One of which will be Z51 if you have the option and its one of the last codes listed.

Z51 will have grease fittings on the rear tie rods.

If its got Z51 it will not have the Ride Select system. Yes, rotors will be drilled. Z51 will be on the sticker as mentioned already. I've got the Z51 but my tie bars don't have the grease fiitings for unknown reasons.
