C6 zo6 vs z-51
Other than the LS-7, what are the other differences between the z-06 and z-51? I'm a huge fan of the new z-06 but not a big fan of the sticker price so I was curious as to what I'd be paying for other than the upgraded engine.

Re: C6 zo6 vs z-51
I agree, dogg.
Corvette doesn't believe in gimmickry. If you want upgrades, you have to pay for it. Well worth the extra expense (if you can afford it). To go one step farther, I saw an article on the Ron Fellows signature Z06 in the last Corvette Quarterly. It should be even more of an animal. Haven't read the story yet.

Re: C6 zo6 vs z-51
besides the LS7, the z06 has lighter materials like aluminum used for the chassis and magnesium used for the k member and roof, carbon fiber body panels, upgraded brakes (6 piston front calipers and larger rotors front and rear), and bigger wheels/tires. the z06 is also a hardtop (no targa top option) which keeps the car stiff. im sure you could buy a Z51 then buy the z06 CF body panels, throw a bunch of boltons at the engine and have a car equal to the z06 in hp numbers but i do think the z06 is worth the additional price.
