She appears a little dizzy from the z51 lateral G's ...

The wheel badge looks good, but a body badge would be better than the wheel, like the Z06.

I've got no problem with "badging", as long as the badge belongs on the car that wears it.

thats where a Z51 badge belongs, if it is to be displayed as it is a suspension option.

Yeah, but then it can't be read when you're driving above 5 or 10 mph.

I wonder if I can get a 2LZ badge to add to my Z06? I can't understand what is so compelling about putting suspension option badges on a Corvette? If it weren't for the holes being left behind, I'd remove the Z06 badges and crossed flag emblems for a cleaner look. Already removed the dorky GM chiclets. Don't need no stinkin' badges, BUT, to each his own!

Now just what does that mean???? First everyone raised heii about the various Z51 badges because the Z51 is an option...now that GM produces one its' ok because it [COLOR="Red"]belongs on it....Before it wa just an option so we can't dare do that!!!! Help be out with this reasoning!!!

Yeah and they should never have put Z/28 badges on Camaros either, just makes no sense at all.

I say get rid of all the badges; Z06 your next.

How about a 4LT badge? Since the option is about 8K. Add NPP on the list also.

Ummm, regardless of whether or not you're in favor of badges, the Z51 gears ratios, oil coolers, etc, make it more than just a suspension pkge.
