Default Z51?

I have always assumed that my car is a Z51 but want make sure. It has drilled and slotted rotors, so I think it is. How can I tell by the sticker in the glove box?

If you run the VIN through GM you will have a complete printout of the car's factory options, but I am not sure how to tell from the sticker.

Slotted rotors? Shouldn't have slotted rotors. Big question though . . . does it have the badge?

Look in the glove box. You should look for Z51. If it is not there, than it does not have the Z51 option.

Should only have cross drilled rotors not sloted.

If you don't have an F55 control switch on your center console then chances are it's a Z51 pkg.

The badges will look something like this, only they say Z 51. I suspect most of the Z51 crowd is envious of the size of these.

I was at Auto Zone earlier today, and thought about going with a "DUB" emblem, or maybe some of those fake fender vents like everyone puts on their Chrysler 300's. Then would you guys maybe let me in the badge club?

If you really want to wow the badge fans, be sure to get the Z51 floor mats, underhood insulation graphic, embroided seats with the Z51 emblem, Z51 full length windshield sticker, rear cargo Z51 carpet graphic and engine covers. That should make you president of this exclusive club (as long as you don't forget the Z51 hat, shirt, shoes and Z51 magazine).
