Z51 Option Description

This seems crazy, but I cannot find a detailed description of the 2016 Z51 option. Can't find it on the forum, can't find it on GM sites.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

On my 2015 the NPP exhaust came with the Z51 package.

On an auto you get a 2.73 gear vs. 2.52.

2015 was the first year NPP came with the Z51, in 14 it had to be added ($1100) if you wanted it.

Added into the Z51 it came out a little cheaper, I found this out when I ordered my car last year.

I had to pay for it on my 2014. They must have changed it this year.

One more point about the Z51 Coupe and Convertible starting $1,000 more than in 2014’s final prices. In 2015, the Z51 will now include the NPP Performance Exhaust which previously was a $1,195 add-on. So for those that wanted a Z51 Coupe or Convertible and the NPP exhaust, now they are saving $195 over 2014’s prices.
