Won't be long before the major vendors come out with Z51 badges for the C7.

Look in the C6 forums. Despite it being just an option on the C6 versus a separate model on the C7, guys were demanding badges to distinguish their cars from lowly regular Corvettes. I know some of the vendors have Z51 badges.
BTW - disclaimer, my wife's 06 is a Z51 vert, just never felt the need to advertise.

Did I miss where Z51 is more than just an option code on the C7 and became its own living and breathing model?

very.... very dumb IMO, I thought advertising HP in the badging is cheesy enough, now people want a badge for an option on a car.Soon the "performance model" , (not an option on a base car) will be here, and some people will badge their base models.
This is the only downfall about mass produced cars, they all look the same 15 feet away.
Regardless, the C7 is an awesome car, the C7 performance model is going to whoop some tails, and make all the people who badge their cars feel dumb. I say if it doesn't have it from the factory, then it shouldn't be there.
The factory didn't put Z51 badges on it because they acknowledge its just an option on a base car( a hell of a base IMO), something some owners don't want to admit .
, but for those select people I say do as you want, it's your car, make some 1LT, 2LT, 3LT, paint codes etc badging while your at it, so you can argue, who has the better seat, radio etc........
