Hi jus got a vette and was wondering what model base do I have?

 

Those are RPO codes...what information are you looking for ??....at the home page up top under tools there is a VIN decoder if that helps.

 

You purchased a car and don't know what model?

 

The model is base.

Your car has the Z51 package, but that's not a model.

The models are "base", Grand Sport, Z06, and ZR1.

 

Thank you

 

The YTK before the z51 means you got the optional ls9 supercharger they put on a handful of ls3’s.

Hell of a find there!

 

Can you recommend a good supercharger oil. Ideally it would provide protection for the SC as well as polish the chrome SC body. A big plus ++ if your SC oil hides scratches and major imperfections caused by multiple owners.

 

You have the Z51 handling package, 3LT upgraded interior package and the NPP performance exhaust which makes your base model nicely optioned and about as loaded as you can get for the base.
its a great car! Enjoy it.

 

Canola makes a really good Avacado oil that should do the trick

 

The model vs. package categories are just marketing distinctions, but GM marketing doesn't refer to a model called "base."

The models are Coupe, Convertible, Grand Sport Coupe, Grand Sport Convertible, 427 Convertible, Z06, and ZR1.

 

The 1YY07 and the lack of Z16 means you have a "Coupe".

 

thank you friend

 

Don't know if Vettes other than a 2008 have different RPO codes, but YTK and XND are high performance tires, rear and front.

 

Hey...I have option YTK too. So I must have a supercharger. How can I tell if I have one....not sure what to look for???

 

Here's a link to the rest of the codes, if you're curious.

YTK TIRE REAR - P285/35ZR19 BW HW4 (EMT) HIGH-PERFORMANCE
XND TIRE FRONT - P245/40ZR18 BW HW4 (EMT) HIGH-PERFORMANCE
LS3 ENGINE - GAS, 8 CYL, 6.2L, SFI, ALUM, HO, GM

If he had the LS9 motor with TVS 2300 supercharger [motor out of the ZR1], then RPO would be LS9, not LS3.
Same for if he has a 427 motor out of the Z06, since RPO code would be LS7 isntead.

So base car, MTZ6 trans, Z51 option package that comes with all those bells and whistles, and 3lt interior that comes with all the bells and whistles of that package as well.
So you did good, since really only 4 models before 2010, being base, base with Z51 package, the Z06 wide body cars, and then the Zr1 wide body car.

In 2010, then drop the base module Z51 package, and instead offered the wide body GS model to replace it.
Both the Z51 option base cars, and the GS wide body cars that replace it, are factory build autocross coursee cars.
The Z06 and ZR1's (up to the C6), are factory build high speed road course cars.
In the C7 cars, it first started this way, but C7 Z06 had over heat problems on the road course to cause them to go into limp mode, and instead of solving the problem with better intercooler cooling for the LT4 superchargers, GM just came out and stated that from the C7 forward, no more factory built car for either autocross, or high speed road course work.

 

It was a joke on the YTK thing guys. Lol

 

Hopefully they are no longer on the car!

 

ya the original owner kept the car oem he jus replaced the tires with the runflats it came with.. I don’t want to replace yet but are they that bad?

 

You're killing me, Smalls!
