The 1st year Zo6 has less hp too...I think like 20 less...385 or so

Where'd you hear this information?

He's right. First and second year Corvette ZO6s put down 385 bhp from the factory and consistently ran 4.1-3 to 60. There's a review of it against the previous-gen Dodge Viper RT10 and Mustang SVT Cobra R in Motor Trend's Aug 2000 issue. I can't currently find a link to it, but the newer 405 bhp Corvettes aren't all that much faster if you don't get an extremely grippy launch. I've seen 4 flat to 60 in a 405 ZO6 but nothing faster, although Chevy use to claim 3.9s. Nobody I've seen has pulled it off stock. However, the 405s post pretty damn 70+ slalom runs. I think they have some extra handling mods compared to the 385s.

Pretty long just to say that the 385s do exist.
