Default Got the bug again

Hi from south Florida. I have had two Corvettes over the years and it is time for another one.
I located a nice convertible C7 that would be good for me. I cannot seem to figure out the options and could use a bit of help. The dealer lists stuff but not with respect to specific codes. Can anyone tell me if it is a Z06? It says it is a Grand Sport with LT3 but also says it has a Performance Package.
Thanks

Moving this over to the C7 General section, but just look at the front fenders - there will be either an emblem that says Z06 or Grand Sport if it is one of those models.

OP here. I called back and they told me is was not a Z06, it had a Z07 performance package that was something about Magnetic suspension and tires. So now I know it is a Grand Sport convertible, LT3 with Z07. A while ago I found a site that gave me all the details about a Mini Cooper. A build sheet. Is there somewhere that I can get a similar list for this car? I really would like to know exactly was this vehicle was ordered as back in 2017.

looks like Dennis has you covered...nice of him. Does the dealer not know? If they do not know how can they price it? Anyway the codes are also listed by the battery I believe.

Dennis
Thanks you so much for getting me exactly what I was looking for. It looks like the dealer had all the facts correct. Being able to check the ad against the build list adds clarity. It was mostly confusion on my part.
I hope I can make the deal work. It has been too many years being without a Corvette.

Yes, you are correct but the vehicle 2000 miles away. If it looks good I will have it shipped here and then do my due diligence.

Shouldn't that be the other way around? Due diligence first? You want things to check out before you spend a dime, JMO.

For $600 they bring it here for me to test drive and a 7 day return policy. It looks perfect and if there is something that warranty from GM cannot fix, all I am out is the $600. I really like all the pictures, the description is accurate, now that I understand it.
