A non-Z51 code?

Is there a code for a NON- Z51 2016 Corvette on the ID code sticker in the trunk area? I see a Z-49. Is that it?

Z49 means Export - Canadian Modif Mandatory Base Equip

OK That answers another question that I had. Thanks a lot.

So if this car was a Z-51 then it would say this on that sticker ?

Yes, my 2016 says Z51 on the sticker.

Not my sticker but it shows the Z51 like mine does.

You may have already seen this, but in case not, the VIN can be used to identify a Z51 (or a Z06; or a plain-old, run-of-the-mill, everybody-and-their-brother-has-one Stingray

You can also look where your oil filler cap is. If its on the engine block then its not a Z51. If its off to the passenger side then its a Z51.
