Default C7.R question

What is the difference between C7R and a regular Stingray or a Z51? Is it just an appearance package or are there real performance enhancements?

A real Pratt and Miller C7-R, basically uses the C7-R aluminum mid frame and has everything else built by Pratt and Miller.

The C7R package was available on the 2016 Z06. It’s basically a soup to nuts loaded Z06/Z07 with some special appearance bling, similar to the Carbon 65 package. Not many of them made and they usually command a higher dollar if in good shape. It’s performance is the same as any other Z06/Z07.
