ok so i bought my z06 when i was in iraq just got home and i found that the emblem on the driver side says z06 and the one on the other side says z06 with the 405hp is that normal or did i get get a wrecked car but it looks like it has never been in a wreck paint is perfect

2001 Z06 fender badge simply has Z06 on it, whereas the 2002-04 models have Z06 405hp on them.
It is conceiveable that a body shop didn't know the difference and ordered the wrong one.
Run a carfax on it which will only help if it was a reported issue.
Maybe the car had a blowout the ruined the fender and it was replaced....lots of possible reasons.

One of those is wrong...what year is the car? 01 just said Z06, and 02-04 had the 405hp.

First off, thanks for your service. Run the car fax, may/may not help. Contact the previous owner, see what he has to say. If he's not the first owner, contact the corvette museum, they can trace what dealership the car was bought at by the original owner, and start your search there. Good luck, and I hope it was just a fender replacement.

Well something not right, one side of your Z is an 01 the other is an 02.
Could have been wrecked and the body shop stuck on the wrong emblem. You could run a Carfax, but sometimes small stuff don't get turned in. Look under the fender well to see if you can spot any overspray. If the paint matches very well I wouldn't worry about it too much and as long as the car rides and drives well.

your sig says 2002.......if this is a early '02 car it may have happend on the assembly line.....many wierd things have happend on early production cars over the years.

Put a blower in and upgrade both badges to read ZO6 "Supercharged" Problem is solved and you got one badazz ride.

Yep. My dad's Solstice came with the hood latch sticker upside down.

Go GM quality control!

Check for the OEM factory stickers that tell you what year it is. These are located on the drivers side door and in the engine bay. Good luck!

buyer beware! If you had said that the paint reflected the miles then i'd say ' well maybe a factory goof up'. But with perfect paint logic says this is not OEM. The emblems cost $25- and many folks forget the '01 Z06 emblem is just plain Z06.

If the year of your car is in question then check the VIN number . Tenth digit will give you the year.

i have checked the vin and its an 02 ran a carfax and nothing and its a 50k car and i would say the paint is really good for 50k. but the nose must have been repainted its perfict no rockchips nothing. and it was made nov 01 and its a 02 car
