There is some info about the 02' Z06 as we heard first on this Forum,revised valve springs and camshaft, and improved exhaust flow. Chevy says the fastest, lightest and most powerful Corvette ever produced. The new Z06 has a beefed up high performance suspension, including a larger front stabilizer with aluminum end links, stiffer rear leaf springs, revised rear shock valving and new front brake linings. Standard head-up display. Very /phpBB/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif Mag Red convertible for sale. /phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

The 02 ZO6 sound like a great car. Can wait. Someone posted that today is the first day that Chevrolet will accept orders for the 02 VETTE. Anyone need a 00 Torch Red Coupe that is loaded?

You have WAY too much money Mr. JJ, how much will this one go for? The next one I guess will be black too. /phpBB/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif

Ditto to Amish!! You are forcing me into getting rid of a car I have only had for 2 months. I can't take it anymore. It's all your fault. I haven't even had a chance to get ovr the thrill of having a Z06 and already I want more!!

Damn it Carl, if they keep improving the car, I will have to start rationalizing why I should get an 02!

From my standpoint, it appears most of the changes listed concern improvements for racing. Since I don't race /phpBB/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif I have little need for a change at this time. My `01 with the new chrome OEM Z06 wheels is fantastic! A definite keeper.
