Default Question about my 2003 Z06

I bought a 2003 Electron Blue Z06 over the summer and wanted to ask, Does this car have the FFS fuel system and steel shift forks? The build date of the car is 9-10-2002.

Many thanks in advance

Pete

Would be nice to know when the switch was done, mine was built in November 2002.

They switched over to the new 2003+ FFS system in November 2002.


This would be the VIN after 114930 (last six digits) built November 25, 2002.

I believe if you have FFS it will show up on the option code label in the glove compartment.

In general, is FFS bad or good? I am a little confused between the FFS "issue" and the leaky crossover issue.

I have a "late" 03 Z with the FFS fuel system. No issues here.

Some 2003 production highlights:

21JUN02: 03 production begins with 87 02s built and 47 03s built that day.

Not sure about the FFS crossover and VIN range. Its easy on this as it shows up on your RPO codes in the glove box, and in the RPO listings on a vehicle history report on your VIN.

Steel shift forks switch was made in FEB03.
03FEB03 start VIN is 120919
28FEB03 finish VIN is 123935

If your VIN is before 120919, you for sure have aluminum shift forks.
If your VIN is after 123935, you for sure have steel shift forks.

Not sure where the actual crossover VIN has been made.
