There was no Z51 in '02 that I know of, as far as I know its only been available on the C6's.
However, to answer your question, the Z06 package would be better than the Z51 anyway.

The Z06 has better suspension than the Z51 package. The Z51 package was available on the C5. I think it was started on the C4 actually.

My '02 has Z51. All non Z06 C5's had the option to get Z51 and the '99 and 2000 FRC's came with Z51. The C5's just dont put the Z51 badge on the side of the car, well most of us dont.
To the OP, like others said, the Z06 does not come with Z51, it actually has a better suspension.

C5 Z06's came with the FE4 suspension and it was the only one available. It was tuned a bit more than the Z51 and was considered better for road racing.

If i remeber correctly (as a former Z-51 owner) the only difference is stiffer springs in the back on the Z06... I might be forgetting sway bars and i think Z06's might have had better swaybar links, but there really isn't as much difference as you might think...
