What year Z06? The 2002 had a LS6 with 405 HP. Do you mean the ZR1?

Gorn's right, the C5 Z06 first had 385 hp, then had a 405-hp LS6. The C6 Z06 has a 7.0L 505-hp LS7.

Not to change the subject but back in the late 80's I got to ride in one of the ZR1 prototypes. Man what a blast. It was close to 500 HP. This prototype had a 3 inch wide belt for the 4 overhead cams. Car sounded like it had a massive blower. The final product was a bit watered down compaired to the prototype.

I haven't gotten any sweet rides like that since working at GM yet, other than driving a new Corvette Grand Sport 'vert. Sounds like it was a blast.
