Nice try. Calling them emblems. You must be really old.
They are badges, and we don't need no stinking badeges.

I don't think that any of us here would have the issues with the "427" badges on a real ZO6 that we would with putting them on a regular C6. the "427" emblems are almost sacred in Corvette lore.
I can hear the laughter at the car show now....putting the "427" on a base C6 would be akin to putting a 5.0 badge on a V6 Mustang.....sorry, but true!...and we know what we think about those when we see them....and you know you have!

If you don't have a 427ci engine... then forget it!
That's like ordering hot dogs at a fine steakhouse!

I can only see 427 or 454 on a vette's hood.

Back in the day my buddy did the opposite, he put 327 emblems on his car when in fact he had a monster 454 in it. Made for lots of fun down on Deer Park Ave.

Anyway, some form of "Z51" license plates are much better!

I agree 100% I put my Z-51 badges right above the GM chicklets, in my eye it looks very good a handling package has no business on the hood or front fender thats where the engine option or hp badges belong.
