Corvette is the model no matter if its a coupe or a Z06...
Go to the site and there's no 2009 or ZR1 either... and a Z06 is a style... 3LT is a trim and Z51 is a package....
It all came from option codes, yes it is now considered a model, duhh... ten years from now Z51 might very well be a model too. Then everyone with a Z51 will have badges...

But for a definitive answer see Talons post(#38)......a picture's worth a thousand words.

I'm just saying that the Z06 started as a option too, most people don't understand where these "codes" came from.

I love my Z51 badges. I was in a parade for the 4th and I heard at least three guys comment "Look, that's a Z51"
Impressed some people I guess.

Uh, Oh.....As soon as I read the OP's innocent inquiry, I was reminded of those old WWII submarine movies. The Captain peers into the periscope and shouts, "Mark, Fire One!"....and then there's that horrible silence and anxious looks as we all wait to see if the "fish" hits its target! This thread looks like another direct hit.....no need to waste any more torpedos.

I had seen pictures of Vette's that had the badge Z51; which I thought was cool looking, but while I was at the dealer on Saturday ordering he showed me a Z51 and to my surprise it didn’t have the badge. At which point I asked him why and he said, “They don’t come with badges”. Now that I know it’s after market, I'll have to decide if it’s something I want to do to my car; deface it or tell everyone what option I have.

No apologies needed, I'm just stating the way I see it. I understand that a Z06 is looked at as a different model and a Z51 (or what ever option) is looked at as an option.
I'm just saying that the Z06 started as a option too, most people don't understand where these "codes" came from.

i love these badge threads 
Me thinks it wouldn't be so bad if there wern't so many variations of z51 badges out there. there's only one Z06 badge per generation... I think the Z51 badge should remain optional, but look like the badge in post #37. that looks like the closest match to the oem z06 style badge to me. sad tho it's more of a C5Z replica... there's c6 z51 badges that look like the c6 z06 style ones but i just can't find them!

bahaha... i'm all about being unique, but it bugs me when i see Z51 badges that are in the font that belong on a camaro.... you know like the old z28 emblems. I wouldn't go as far as putting a hyundai elantra GT badge on my ford mustang GT
