Either way, the aero is the thing that could most easily vary the most. The extra radiator is probably the least likely thing in the Z51 pack to have been added or removed after the fact.

Here’s some info I found on the brake differences that you can compare to what you have.

Here's what you do... take it to a track and drive it as hard as you can. If it doesn't break, then it must be a Z51.
