Getting to know my C6. Were Z51 and Z16 standard on GS? I’m assuming most the other codes are pretty std. let me know if I’m missing anything interesting. Almost 70 degrees in NC today, pulling the top for first time!

Yes. They all had Z16 and Z51 in the RPO codes. The Grand Sport package replaced the Z51 as an option for the base, but it carried forward some of the Z51 components. The rest are covered in Z16 package (like the Z06 brakes, for instance).

EDIT: Side note, your signature still includes a photo of your C3 Corvette.

Here's mine:

All C6 Grand Sports will have the Z16 option. Here's what a build sheet for my '11 GS has to say about it: "Z51 - PERFORMANCE SPORT HANDLING LABELS - CODE WAS REPLACED WITH Z16 FOR MY2010". Also, the build sheet I got from the museum has both Z16 and Z51 on it. Not sure why, since adding Z51 seems to be redundant.

Assuming it is a 2011, here is link to all the RPO codes for that year. Research your car to your heart's content.

My '12 GS had both the Z51 & Z16 RPO codes on the sticker. They all do for the reasons mentioned by the other poster.
