The Z06 coil covers red with black writing as opposed to the normal vette where the covers are black with red writing. Also this does not mean anything, anyone can change the coil covers.

The 8th character on the VIN should be an "S" if it is a Z06

the NEW style z06's are a 7.0L but the old ones are 5.7's just like the regular C5's the heads, intake, cam and exhaust are different. I also theink there are some differences in the blocks.
