is there such thing? okay so i know this lady, she has a c5 corvette i think it is...its an lsx obviosly i think its a 2000ish.....anyway she always talks about waxing my ta in a race, and tells me she has a special eddition vette that isnt a 346 but actually a 35x cubic inch motor from the factory? doesn anyone know if there is any special eddition vettes with a different bore and stroke than normal? weird too bc it's a c5 and has 243 heads i thought i saw? she says its bone stock...and shes no hussler by any means it doesnt even sound like she knows what shes talking about, anyhow 35x ls1/6....????
Is it a fixed roof or a hatch? the 01-04 Z06 had the LS6 with 385-405hp. I mean it's not like you wouldn't notice it's a Z06, kinda hard to miss. If it's a regular C5 then it's the standard 350hp LS1. If your car has basic mods and her's is stock, its going to be a driver's race.

well my car is cam heads and on a tire, shes on street tires and prolly cant even drive, the car is stock she says and i mean down to the air box it appears and sounds bone stock...she let me drive it and it felt peppy but it was in the rain so i couldnt really get on it, i mainly was just wanting to do my research so i could tell her that her car is a 346 and theres not a 35x motor out...the car is a c5, i looked at it a year ago or so tho and i can swear i saw 243 heads, which if that was the case would have to have come on it bc she didnt do anything to the car...can you order a c5 with a ls6 upgrade?

97-04 C5 that is a hatch back or convertible has an LS1 (no other engine option)
99-00 fixed roof (wagon wheels & no Z06 brake vents) has an LS1 (no other engine option)
01-04 fixed roof Z06 has a 385-405hp LS6, lighter glass, titanium exhaust, and a bunch of other upgrades over a regular C5.

yea i know, thats why this is confusing, the lady baught it brand new, its a c5 not a z06, she doesnt no anything about cars and says she never touched it, thought i saw 243? so i dk
maybe gm had extra ls6 blocks or longblocks that they put in the car. or the lady's ls1 went out in the vette and gm under warranty put in a ls6 or just the ls6 block.
i know gm did that with 97 lt1's. some got 4 bolt main blocks from gm under warranty because they had bunch left over. they also took the left over lt4 engines and put them in some 97 ws6's and ss's. i know they did the same in 02 with the ls6. some f bodies got the ls6 blocks under warranty.

I don't think it was only under warranty work that they would change the blocks,
15% of 2001 and 25% of 2002 F-bodies got the LS6 blocks only from the factory
my 01 ss is 1 of them that got the LS6 block
