And even if it wasn't, there's no way I would put a C6 emblem on my C5. Hell, I wouldn't even be caught dead wearing a C6 hat while driving my C5!
It would be about as crazy as putting an Ultra Tour Glide Classic emblem on your Sportster!

FOLKS, chill out,Ive owned my 69 for ten years before I added my C5.Vets are far and away my favorite performance car(I like all cool cars)and over the years I bought all kinds of corvette hats and shirts,because it said "CORVETTE"What's with all this POSEUR crap---they aren't making you wear it or put it on your car.As a matter of fact I used humor and a hat to get my C5. Just after I bought the hat I left it at my bro.in laws house,and forgot about it.They thought it would be funny to wrap it up as a Xmas present(thinking I wouldn't notice it,I didn't)Laughingly I said "now I need to get a car to match.She'd been leaning towards one for trips anyhow.BINGO I got one.I'll wear any vet stuff any time because I love vets,,Not because I'm POSING !!Thats the kind of stuff that gives outsiders the." OH YOU HAVE A CORVETTE "amo.It's why some have custom some have custom and some in between.Would I attach 6 emblems on mine---no,Would I flame a guy for doing it NO he drives a vet,that's good enough for me.Only the "purist" would notice anyhow.I thought it looked good.

The majority of the public wouldn't recognize a C6 emblem on the C5, anyway. Only C5/Z06 owners/enthusiasts would (possibly) recognize the change. If that's of concern, don't dare do it! 
It's your car to do with as you please.
A general question...if an owner decided to put an LS7/505hp 427 ci motor into his C5, would it be ok to add the 427 emblems to the hood?

Folks, relax... it's an emblem, for crying out loud I put the C6 emblem on my car because when I debadged it back on 2004, there were 2 holes under the front emblem on the stock front fascia. The C6 emblem covered those holes - no big deal.
I have the Tigershark front fascia now with no badges at all. Even the "Corvette" on my rear fascia has been removed
But I do have a "Type R" badge on the back...

There's nothing wrong with being a Corvette purist and nothing wrong with being the type that wants to modify everything to ones own tastes. Sometimes the two mindsets clash on the simplest of topics, though.
Maybe there should be separate forums for stock/original and modified?

As its been said its your car, so what ever makes you happy. And it just an emblem. I wouldn't think twice about putting C6 brakes on my C5 or C6 seats in my C5, but I personally wouldn't think about putting another generations emblem on my car. I've also got a 78 C3 and I wouldn't think about putting the regular C3 emblem on the car. The C3 had a couple of different emblems, the regular C3 emblem and then the one on the 78, 25th anniversary. Kinda wierd I guess, It's got a spoiler that's not stock, a 400 sm block I've got C4 seats I'm going to put in it, so it's not like I haven't mixed different years and generations on the car. But I'd never put a regular C3 emblem on it. Just my $.02
