I had a '69 Vette. That was a Stingray. I currently have an '02 and an '06. They are not Stingrays.

1968 = Corvette
1968 + Stingray Emblem = 1969 Stingray?

still, i think that rebadging means that you have done something to your vette which distinguishes it from other corvettes, so much so, that it deserves its own badging. if GM decided to call the C6 Z06 a Stingray...i would have had no complaints. its different...and better

Sorry, if it appeared I was taking a shot at RBYCC, I was just using his quote. Sorry, RBYCC, nothing personal there.
Although I like the Stingray script, and the example on the Silver C6 looks fantastic, it all boils down to one thing . . . . They're a LOT of fun!! YeeHaa!
Uh oh . . . I can't resist this . . . help . . . stop me . . . too . . . weak.
So since my brother had a Stingray when he was 10, does this mean we're driving Schwinns? (oooh, I'm gonna' pay for that one. Sorry, Dave)
Quick, somebody take my mouse away from me!

1968 = Corvette
1968 + Stingray Emblem = 1969 Stingray?

NOT REALLY !!
The 1963- Corvette, known as the Sting Ray, had its roots in a prototype racing car of the late '50s. Arkus-Duntov created a Corvette-based racer he called the Sebring SS in 1957, with a 310bhp engine, magnesium alloy body, steel spaceframe chassis and DeDion rear axle with independent suspension, but due to the AMA competition ban, Chevrolet did not pursue the project for a while. Bill Mitchell revived it a couple of years later to make a single special-order car for Dick Thompson, which performed credibly in the 1959 and 1960 SCCA championships; this car became known as the Stingray. The car came back to Mitchell in 1962, and he used it as his own personal road car, which shaped the development of the C2 production model. Another influence was the Mako Shark I concept car of 1962, which experimented with a coupe body style.
To further confuse the issue is it "Sting Ray" as on the C2 or "Stingray" as the C3 appears ?
