IMO such an emblem is foolish. EVERY C6 ever made except the Z06s has an LS2. That is the problem IMO.
NO engine selections from the factory. One flavor fits all unless you get the much more expensive Z06.
I think the lack of factory provided engine and performance options has fueled the desire by many to make their cars 'special' with non stock special emblems.
IF and I repeat IF there were engine options from the factory then I'd be all in favor of special badges like the 327, 350, 396, 427 of old plus various fuel injected emblems etc. But ,IMO, putting LS2 on a C6 would be like putting 'ModelT' on a model T.
They are all the same. Even the mighty Z51 has an identical engine.
I think factory stock is good. I like clean lines. I think the Z06 emblem looks great with the special styling of that car AND it majorly ( learned that word from my teenagers ) belongs on the car!
I think an emblem 'V8' would make just about as much sense on a C6.
