Basically, the 01's had a different cam than 02-04's, and the 02-04's had sodium-filled exhaust valves. Mod red was an interior option on all Z06's (01-04) I believe.

Mod Red interior was only an option, as it was on other years. Speedway white was an '01 color ONLY and the rarest Z06 with 352 made (137 w/mod red interior) out of almost 6000.

You are correct. The same 01 243s heads are used in the LS2, and the cam is the same again for the LS2. Other changes where in the badges (01s just say Z06 no 405 under them) and the o1 hood and trunk badges are a little differant.

01 was the only year for speedway white (352) and over all production was lowest of any year at around 3k (can't remebr that off the top of my head.)

PS yup slow 01 Z here

Well ok then, 2001 Z06 was a POS in my thoughts.
2002 was the 1st 405hp block so it came with more overall power so we'll leave it at that.


Thanks for clearin it up
