Default Z51 option

Can you tell if a C6 has the Z51 option from the VIN#?

Look for Z51 on the RPO sticker in the glove compartment.

You can from the VIN if you get a GM VIS report, or use compnine.com. I have a few free ones left from compnine if you want to PM me your Vin #.

I don't think so.

Are you sure about that? The VIN itself won't tell you. Model year 2010 and newer will have the option package name, but I don't think that says anything about Z51.

Thanks, been looking at cars online and was looking for a way to determine if C6 had the Z51 option.I can usually tell on a C7 by the dry sump.

Compnine will give you all the cars option list based on the Vin #. The GM VIS report will also show the options list as well.
here is the compnine report for my car. It has changed from the time I got it, but still shows all the options, just in a different format.

I just sent you a personal message(PM) with the compnine.com access code to get the options when you enter the Vin # then the access code.

Good Luck

. Nice find. I put my Vin # in and under additional information, all is correct, but 45U is listed as medium green, then tint coat of VY. I wasn't aware that the color green was the base coat? The other stuff above the additional info is not specific to my particular car, as many things listed is just for the first 12 digits of the Vin, and not specific to the last 6 digits of my car. I've had nothing done at a GM dealer or other service dept. since 2009. In 2009, a 100 point certified inspection was carried out prior to me taking ownership.
