This upgrade to the LS6 engine&#8217;s output is the result of new hollow stem valves, a higher-lift camshaft, a low restriction mass air flow (MAF) sensor and a new low restriction air cleaner design. Eliminating the PUP converter from the exhaust system enables better flow of spent gasses and reduces vehicle weight, without compromising the Corvette&#8217;s NLEV (National Low Emission Vehicle) status.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Z06-specific FE4 High-Performance suspension system features a larger front stabilizer bar, a stiffer rear leaf spring and specific camber settings all calibrated for maximum control during high-speed operation. The 2002 Z06 also has new rear shock valving for a more controlled ride.<\/p>\n<p>Now standard on Z06, the Corvette&#8217;s Head-Up Display (HUD) projects vehicle speed and many other gauges digitally on the windshield ahead of the steering wheel, enabling drivers to keep their eyes on the road.<\/p>\n<h4>Story by GM,. edited by Supercars.net<\/h4>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div
