The front fender badge proudly announced a power upgrade for the 2002 Z06 LS6 motor: 405 hp. Lighter valves were used and the exhaust valves were liquid filled. Modifications to the intake resulted in better breathing. Two catalytic convertors were used where four used to do the job in 2001 and a revised higher lift camshaft was used. Different rear shock absorber settings and a beefier front anti-sway bar upgraded the handling.
