Z06 hood is carbon fiber and is 20.5 lb lighter and will be the FIRST production vehicle with a Carbon Fiber panel. Other specialty cars have CF but not production line cars.

I thought that GM kinda dropped the ball for the 50th.

And the Le Mans Edition is sleepy too.

I sure hope the 04' isn't following these leads.

Well, basically the 50th Anniversary was an emblem car.

All 03's got the 50th gray/silver 50th badging. The only
specific "Anniversary" edition was the '50th Anniversary
Red' that closely resembles the magnesium red that
already exists. The interior get's a unique shayle or gray
colored dash and 50th floor mats.

All the technical aspects, motor, drivetrain including
suspension is the same than ANY 03' and now 04' model
would recieve. The upgraded F45 or F55 magnetic ride
shock system was slated for the 03' model year regardless
of the 50th celebration, and that's still an option buy.

Ideally, and I honestly believe that GM intended the C6
to be the 50th car which would have made the most
sense. Slight updated body stylings from the C5, the
much talked about HP upgrade to 400 for the LS1, and
450 for the LS6(ZO6).

Enter Bob Lutz. Control-Alt-Delete those plans!

Once Lutz nixed those plans, that left GM scrambling for
something for 03' and the 50th, and now the inbetweener
year of 04' hence the Le Mans Edition.

That's my opinion...
