the '02 Z06 has a 20 HP increase, this will probably take a couple of changes in the engine, not just air flow, etc.
So it would seem appropriate that it would have a new RPO.
I quess we will all know soon enough.
Would make our 01's a one year car, engine and wheels.

JJ, I am thinking the same thing, I do not care that much about the 20 hp, but the 02' will be out in less than 4 months.

The engine, for the most part will be the same. The LS1 has evolved slightly ever since '97... since then (Not including the LS-6) the LS1 has seen improved Block casting, Cylinder Heads, Camshaft, and Intake Manifold changes. Although it has always been referred to as an LS-1. Now the LS-6 has a slightly different block casting, Heads, and Cam... Yet a complete Name Change? This makes sense because it is sold along side the LS-1... and obviously needs to be set apart from the LS-1. But to call the LS-6 an LS-7 for '02 doesn't make as much sense... since any design changes/improvements would be nothing different than typcial Engine evolotion.
You won't see anything different other than maybe 'MINOR' changes to Heads, and/or Cam Profile. Everything else would stay the same, would be my guess.
As for thinking the '02's will have better wheels! You are very optimistic! The '01 wheels are very smooth... I would be concerned at what GM may think is 'better' than the '01 wheels personally!

Zippy, you are correct "Some is good and more is better" I think it 02' for me unless there is a fire sale.

My dealer said he would know something after the dealers meeting in April, as always we will probably know before that.

I have read a few times now that the engine in the 02' Z06 will be the "LS7" and not the "LS6", anyone else hear this? In the same reading they said the the LS6 engine back in the early 70's was only made as an option for 1 years and so will the LS6 in the Z06, is this true? Please advise.

Took the car to MSRH this afternoon to see just how the C7 Z07 19/20 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2s would handle the cool winter weather.
Took a laps or 2 to get up to temp and after that they were very predictable.
But I think the larger rolling diameter of the 19/20's is throwing the Active...

I like the look of the OEM C6 guards and want to install a set on my C5-I know there are carbon fiber ones out there but they seem too large to me. I can't seem to find a vender that sells them for a C5-the only thing I have seen is people modifying the C6 versions to fit a C5. Anybody know of a...
