Z06 model replaced FRC model as the highest performance C5 Corvette. Instead of a heavier double-overhead cam engine like the ZR-1 of C4 generation, Z06 used an LS6, a 385 hp (later was upgraded to 405 hp) derivative of the standard LS1 engine. Using the much more rigid fixed roof design allowed the Z06 unprecedented handling thanks to upgraded brakes and less body flex. The car was equipped with titanium exhaust system and carbon fiber hood.
