Return of the Z06 Part 2

The handling of the Z06 was enhanced by special Goodyear F1 Supercar tires, P265/40ZR17 (front) and P295/35ZR18 (rear) developed specifically for the Z06. They were not run flat tires, a factor which improved the handling. This brought up an interesting scenario, as the C5 Corvette has no provisions for a spare tire. Standard equipment did include a tire inflation kit but the Z06 did not include the tire pressure monitoring system.
Z06 visual cues: Above left: Wire mesh screen signified the external intake for the rear brake cooling. The same wire mesh protected the front air intake. Middle: Distinctive star shaped aluminum wheels, exclusive to the Z06, were 1.0 inches wider than on the coupe or convertible. Right: brake calipers were painted red.
Above: Z06 interior choices were all black or black with red.
Below: Instruments featured the Z06 logo and a checkered background; headrest embroidery.

You'll find a good chart at https://www.corvettecentral.com/wheel-offset
What is the offset front and rear on an 01 base convertible?
In the 2001 Notes, the horsepower should be 350.
In the notes, it should say 350 horsepower.
Marty:
Like my Dad used to say, "when you're right, you're right". The notes have been updated, thank you for taking the time to write.
