From the sales guide:

Z51 PERFORMANCE PACKAGE
The Z51 Performance Package will be offered as the top performance Stingray. This package
includes larger 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels, dry sump oil system, ELSD, larger front brakes
(13.6 inch vs. 12.6 inch) with black calipers, specific shocks, springs and stabilizer bars, differential
and transmission cooling, as well as a unique Aero Package that reduces lift for high-speed stability.
Magnetic Selective Ride Control and Performance Traction Management are available. In addition,
the Michelin Pilot® Super Sport® ZP summer-only tires6 on the ZS1 Performance Package are unique
and aggressively tuned to provide outstanding handling, grip and road-holding capability.

AVAILABLE MAGNETIC SELECTIVE RIDE CONTROL
Corvette Stingray will incorporate the world’s fastest-acting suspension with available
Generation 3 Magnetic Selective Ride Control. This real-time damping system delivers
precise body motion control, “reading” the road every millisecond and changes damping in
just 10-15 milliseconds.

From the upcoming Order Guide:

AVAILABLE MODELS
Stingray Coupe (1YY07)
Stingray Coupe with Z51 Performance Package (1YX07)


http://www.corvetteblogger.com/docs/...rder-Guide.pdf

So the C7 Z51 must be it's own model -- like a GS or Z06 or ZR1 -- not just an option package.

That means it's gonna have badges!

The only badge anyone will see is the style police arresting those who stick, glue or screw any more stuff on their Corvettes.

It really looks like it deserves the model designation this time around.
