differences between 01 Z06 and 03 Z06??? Hi all,
I just wanted to know what were significant differences...
Also, I saw an 01' Z06 that had badging of 405HP on sides, but I have only seen that 01's were rated @ 385 hp.
Please help as I am thinking about buying the 01' tomorrow.
thanks,
dannyg

haha was the vette you saw white? it was most likely mine since your in Irving.. its a true z06.. bought it used and it had the 405hp badges on it.
all '01's are 385hp stock.. main difference is the cam is .525 lift '02 and newer is .550" lift.. and the suspension is a little better on '02's and newer.

Here are some/most of the differences
Differences between 2001 & 2002 & up:
1. The LS6 engine standard in the Z06 increased from 385 to 405 horsepower. Torque increased from 385 to 400 lb-ft.
2. Front fender badges for Z06 models included the 405 HP designation.
3. LS6 exhaust back pressure was reduced by 16%
4. Cam shaft was redesigned resulting in increased lift and a 5% increase in air flow
5. Valve spring material composition was changed to increase seat load by 14%.
6. LS6 intake and exhaust valves were a new, lighter design.
7. The valvetrain weight was reduced by 0.81 pounds, which improved valve seating at high rpm.
8.Airflow over the LS6 MAF sensor was increased by removing gridwork
9. MAF software was recalibrated
10. LS6 aircleaner housing had a larger intake
11. Wheels looked the same BUT they were cast spun instead of forged for a weight savings of 1.3 pounds per car
12. rear shock valving was changed
13. Improved clutch
14. Ticker front anti-sway bar
15. Modified steering rack to reduce the turning radius by 2 feet

well I don't like how the badging says 405HP when it is not true....
I haven't bought it yet as I am still trying to get the price down.
but hopefully will work.
