Default 2007 rear badges/markings

I have had 2 2007 corvettes, both supposedly Z51 models
The first one had "corvette" molded into the rear, the current one has the crossed flags.
my question is what is the difference?

Wait, what?

Both cars should have "CORVETTE" molded into the bottom right corner and the crossed flags badge in the middle below the rear brake light.

Need more details and pictures maybe.

This is a 2007 with the Z51 option. Flags in the top middle and Corvette at the lower right. If either of your cars has different than this, they were modified.

I guess my grammar was incorrect and should have said Z51 option?

I was afraid you were asking about Z-51 badges. We don't need no stinking badges".

Yes, Z-51 is the factory RPO (Regular Production Order) build code for the performance suspension package. Some think it is a model.

(Z51) Performance Package
The Z51 package, available with all PEGs on both Coupe and Convertible, is designed for the
performance enthusiast. The package includes:
• Specific shocks and springs designed for more control
• Larger stabilizer bars
• Larger, cross-drilled brake rotors (340 mm front/330 mm rear) and track-tuned linings
• Engine oil, power steering and transmission coolers
• Specific higher-grip Goodyear EMT tires with asymmetrical tread patterns
• Specific six-speed manual transmission with quicker gearing

With the 2005 auto trannys, it also included the 3.15 rear axle.

You don't need to wonder if it is "supposedly" a Z51. Just check the codes on the glove compartment to see if Z51 is listed.
