Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Corvette / April 2006Z51 option?
Can anyone tell me what this option on a 2001 includes? I know about the wider and thicker sway bars, is there anything else? My searches have not turned up any help. Thanks, Mike > Can anyone tell me what this option on a 2001 includes? I know about the > wider and thicker sway bars, is there anything else?

There is an added cooler but I'm not sure if it's for the auto, power steering, or engine oil, the C6 Z51 option has all three. Dad >> Can anyone tell me what this option on a 2001 includes?

In the C5 and C6, how about the subjective (meaning passenger seat-of-the-pants) ride experience for cars with performance suspension? If you can, compare to selective ride settings, and/or to Z51 v non-Z51 C4. By that I mean, my gf could rarely tell without peeking which setting I was using (sport,touring, performance) in the '93, but when we borrowed a Z51 '95 coupe for a caravan, she found it "teeth-rattling" (although, to be fair, the '95 also had C5 rims and runflats).

Nearly the same, hard to tell the difference. > If you can, compare to selective ride settings, and/or to Z51 v non-Z51 > C4.

Select ride offered nothing on the '92 I had and drove 90K + and my teeth never quit rattling. Add runflats to that and I wouldn't want to drive the hog. Dad A good friend just bought a base coupe with the Z51 addition from Maxi Price. A wise purchase to me, no HUD, heated seats, yada yada. The Z51 also has the drilled rotors. According to his car. > > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > SignatureRic Seyler Online Racing: RicSeyler GPL Handicap 6.35 ricseyler@SPAMgulf.net http://www.pcola.gulf.net/~ricseyler remove -SPAM- from email address -------------------------------------- "Homer no function beer well without." - H.J.
