And what about 2001 Z06 Vs. 2002 Z06? just the HUD and a different exhaust manifold difference?!


Does 01' have the "competetive driving" mode?

Not 100% sure on this but I think that the cam maybe a little stronger in the later Z's, they definitely have different rings than some of the 01's due to a oil consumption issue in the earlier made 01's. Suspension may be a little different as well.

Not sure about the Competitive driving mode...I was thinking that all of the Z06's came with the "competitive driving mode."

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

So if i plan for header and cam change (and when that blows up an LQ9)... it wouldn't matter if i do 01' or 02'

Frc's come with competitive driving mode and if you hit the reset button you can than read your gauges.

Okay I just got a Corvette and I am trying to follow your guy's conversation because I am doing basically the same with mine. What the freakin' hell is a FRC?????? Is it just a Hardtop Corvette, or maybe one with a Z06 type suspension?
