Default New Vette owner

I've recently purchased my 1st C6 (2005). I'm the second owner and I have two questions:

1. My vette has Corsa exhuast.......was this a dealer option or aftermarket?

2. My vette has everything up to the homelink (1sb package) but I'm not sure if I have the Z51 package. How can I tell?

Corsa is aftermarket and z51s have drilled rotors.

1. Aftermarket.......very good exhaust IMO.

2. Your rotors should be drilled (holes), and possibly GoodYear Eagle F1 SUPERCAR tires. Specifically for the Z51 option for that year.

1) Great aftermarket exhaust you have.
2) As others have said look for drilled holes in rotors and F1 Supercar Goodyear tires.
3) Welcome to the forum
4) Last and best of all, welcome to the family. Enjoy the new Vette.

Make sure to post pics for all to see.

Good luck

Welcome to the Forum!!!!!!! Congratulations on your new Vette!!! Enjoy the ride and the Forums.

Just an additional way to check the equipment on your car, look at the equipment label on the inside of the glove box door. It is an alphabetical list and you should find Z51 there. Just a way to be sure.
