If it's really important to some, why doesn't someone either "ask Tadge" or ask at a factory tour? That would finally settle the Z51 package/model argument for good.
So here's a pic of where I put my z51 emblem from emblempros.com. Really appreciate all the posts here and elsewhere on the Interwebs; they helped me make a decision.
Of course where to put any emblem/badge comes down to personal preference. In my case I eliminated the following places:
• Hood because IMHO engine related badges go here
• Side behind front wheels b/c the stingray badges are there (I like em and won't remove em) and more badges there would make it too crowded
• Rear spoiler faces downward slightly so badge is angled down
• Rear middle is too crowded there

Has anyone seen a "Z51" door sill plate? I see "Stingray" and "Corvette", but I like the idea of a Z51 logo on the door sill plate - similar to seeing "M" door sill plates on a BMW.
Combined with a small Apsis carbon fiber insert with a Z51 logo on the bottom of the steering wheel, would be just about right for me.
Look, what does it matter if folks want to call it a Model or an Option? It’s their car! I don’t hear anyone complaining that Chevy puts “Z71” emblems on their pickups, even though Z71 is nothing but a “Trim Package”. As far as this tread continuing, I think that those who put badges on their cars post here because they want to share the look with others who have done the same. Lighten up everyone!!!
What fun would that be! Regardless of the tick boxes some folks put in their ordering info, this is a pic of what GM calls a Convertible and a Z51! Models. Frankly I don't care if you call my Z51 a model or an option. Hard to understand how it creates emotion in some folks.
Z51 and Convertible listed as models by GM with their own model number! Was the same for 2014

LOL, wrong. There are two models of C7; Stingray and Z06. Period. The "Z51 Performance Package" is available on the Stingray. Nowhere does GM call the Stingray with Z51 option a model or even refer to it as a Z51. There is no "base" C7 either, just a Stingray or a Z06. On Chevrolet.com you can select from two models of C7; Stingray and Z06. Under the "Build and Price" section Z51 is actually listed under the Trim section. It's most definitely not a model according to GM.
I'm not badmouthing the Z51 or anyone who wants to badge one as such. I'm simply trying to understand gluing a badge on that denotes a trim or option package. To each their own.
U sure seen real bug'd by what other people are doing? U need to get a life!!
I consider the Z51 to be a performance package on a Stingray. As far as the emblem and package it's very inline with the say the package and emblem of the fourth gen Trans Am/ Trans Am WS6. To be honest I just put a the Z51 emblem on my car to annoy Steve R
