2001 was the first model year for the C5 Z06. There were no 1998 Z06 models. 2001 Z06 had 385hp rating. 2002 thru 2004 Z06 had 405hp rating.

The Z06 was first offered in 2001 and was rated at 385HP. The 405 rating came in 2002 and was offered through 2004. Not only that, the C5 generation Z06 (2001-2004) was only offered in the FRC (Fixed Roof Coupe) variant and never came as a hatchback. That 1998 Corvette you see listed is most definitely not a Z06.

It's a hatchback. There was never a hatchback C5 Z06, they were all FRCs.

No Z06s were offered in automatics either, all of them were manual transmissions.
That is definitely not a Z06.

Damn, didn't notice that until now. Absolutely not a Z06.

Doesn't seem to be. Two things that don't add up are; it has the 75mm MAF with separate IAT sensor, LS6 came with 85mm MAF with integrated IAT sensor. And of course it has the black LS1 engine covers instead of the red LS6 pieces.
