This engineering frame may have derivatives, giving rise to more than one body style for a particular car model. For example, the same car model can be offered as a four-door sedan, a two-door coupe, a station wagon, or even as a folding-roof convertible, all derived from the same engineering body frame. An example of this is the BMW 3-series.
Also, the same car model can be offered with different mechanical internals, such as a choice of several engine sizes, automatic or manual transmissions, different suspension, braking or steering systems, etc., all of these options considered fairly interchangeable on that specific body frame. It is common for any specific car model to carry additional badges or letterings to announce the mechanical option(s) incorporated on it.

Your ignorant. A car model is a particular brand of vehicle sold under a marque. From an engineering point of view, a particular car model is usually defined and/or constrained by the use of a particular car chassis/bodywork combination or the same monocoque.

That is a whole lot of talk that really meant nothing. GM says the Corvette Z06 is a model, it is written in black and white on their website, nothing you can write is going to change what GM says. It cannot be any clearer than that, what you wrote had nothing to do with the fact that GM considers the Z06 a model.

How about that Brett Favre? (What??)
Well, I own my Corvette Coupe with RPO Z51. RPO stands for Regular Production Option for those that don't know. I ordered the Z51 decals/badges right here from the Corvette Forum Store and I'm puttin' them on Friday. So there!!
Also, to be clear, the Z06 is a designated model and does not have an RPO for Z06. Don't know why i brought that up but there seems to be some confusion regarding this.
Talk amongst yourselves!
P.S. This thread is very entertaining. You can't tell who's serious and who's not. Who's pissed or on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
Can't we all just get along??

If you want to argue about what is a model and what is an option, here is one for you. The ZR1 is a Z06 with the ZR1 option box checked off. Let's open that can of worms....
