The Auto Channel 2001 ZO6 Report -By Tom Hagin

The latest styling is unmistakably Corvette. It's lower and longer, with a wheelbase that is over eight inches more than the older version. The slippery shape features a crisp, hard-edged flat plane that frames in the tail, a feature that assists in giving it a low 0.29 Cd. There is little styling difference between the Z06 and other new 'Vettes, but unlike some makers that purposely hide the visual cues of their performance versions, the Z06 can be recognized by mesh-covered cooling inlets for the brakes just ahead of the rear tires, more mesh over the twin grilles in the front fascia, unique ten-spoke Speedline wheels and special badging on the front fenders. Z06 comes only as the hardtop version, which is identified by the notchback-look of its tail vs. the coupe's larger, more raked rear window.
