Using incorrect terminology, over and over, just perpetuates the problem. What if everyone called their C6 a C5? How would someone that doesn't know the difference, be expected to learn the difference, if the idiots kept calling a C6 a C5. You call a vendor to get a part for your C6 but you call it a C5, do you expect to recieve the correct part for your C6.

Damn shame my Cruze Corvette, doesnt get the gas milage for a real Cruze! Thats what I get for buying the wrong version lol

Z06, ZR1, ZL1 were once option order codes for high performance Corvette engine, brake and suspension packages....period!
Today, these are all seperate Corvette models with the ZL1 going to the Camaro.
Is it any wonder why people who do not keep up with Corvettes are confused as what to call a certain model?

6.64HP PER lbs x 3335 lbs = 22,144 HP?
That's a small rocket booster.
