No, 2002 was the 2nd year for the c5 z06. 2001 was the 1st.

Do a google search if you don't believe us.

01 Z06's also sell for a bit less than an 02 Z06. Some of the 01's, were also known more than any other year to have some oil consumption issues due to seals or something.

01 was the first year for the C5 Z06. The 385 hp comes from GM using the LS1 Hot Cam for a camshaft lift on it is only .525 on both in/ex. In 02 GM used a newly designed cam, the lift on it is .551 in/ex.

So if you have an 01 Z06 cam it is basically a LS1 Hot Cam. I infact think it is the same GM part number.

Using the great power of deduction (and by typing 2001 Z06 into any search engine), the "loch ness monster" of Corvettes, the 2001 Z06 Corvette has finally been proven to exist.

Okie dokie...naysayers be warned. Too much proof on this alien abduction to deny it.
