Check out this post about the Stingrays:

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread.php?t=523314

Apparently all of the vettes from 1963-1976 were considered Stingrays and did not designate a specific trim or package. It is apparent to me that the C6 took some of it body lines and features from the Stingrays and you can see in RBYCC's picture. I think they look cool, it is kind of a nostalgia thing. Its not the same as claiming to be a ZO6 when they aren't since all of the past Vettes were called Stingrays! Also, I always wonder why you would even look in this post titled "Stingray Emblems" if you think the idea is so stupid. If you don't like it stay out of the topic!

Which badges did you guys go with, I have looked around and there are a few differences in the badging from the different year Stingrays. Cars are looking good guys!

Keep it up and we'll be seeing C6s that look as if they've tons of contingency stickers ala NAZZZZCARRR.
Just kidding.

This is one of those rare instances where I honestly think this kind of "add-on" looks "OK".
The top vent line even looks as if it could've been underlining the script.

Whatever floats your boat - but, to paraphrase a late "Son of Texas..." I know a Stingray and a C6 is not a Stingray. Of course, that's just me.

Oh but they look sooo cool. I have had mine on for months, and have not had one negative comment, other than some forum members.

WHY??? It's not a Stingray. If you want a Stingray buy a mid=year vette. Why not paste on CHEVETTE or CORVAIR. It looks ridiculous in my opinion - but its your car so obvious;y you can paste on whatever turns you on.

Comming from someone that has a picture of Laura Croft for his avitar? I dont feel so dumb afterall. HAHAHAHA I just love the responses. This is my 5th Vette, I love the freedom I have to adhere the Stingray brand.

azzholes? yeah, I know I'm one.. but putting a badge like that on a car 30 years newer doesnt seem to make sense, if you wanted the whole 'retro' look, you shoulda bought a mustang

Dude, Tomb Raider has got to be the dumbest movie of all times. Do you dress like James Bond too while driveing your Vette?

Who said we want the "retro" look? We like it and that's what counts.

this would be a pretty boring place if people stayed out of topics they didn't like. That being said I think putting the emblem on a C6 is rediculous. Oh well.
