Quick C-5 Question

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but here goes.A little while ago i spotted a C5 with a DECAL on the back that said Z-51R. Now my question is: is that legit, or just a high class *****. I mean wouldn't the Z06 be the "R" Option.

It's a *****.. The Z-06 techincally would be the R option.. but the type R stuff is property of Honda.. Even the Acura integra type-R's engine is powered by honda.. so unless the Z-06 has a honda powered engine.. it's a *****.. tho it would probably blow away the R's and deserve to steal their type-R.. it's a *****..

I figured it out: Z51 is a $300 suspension option, but it doesnt say any thing about the "R". It did sound like he had a coffie can under there tho'.Thats probly why he put that sticker on there.

technically all acuras are just dressed up hondas but we all know these petty things, thus i find myself wondering even why i bothered to reply to this.. however i think i realize my reasoning now, i just simply wanted to ramble on about something that meant absolutely nothing to me or anyone else. god it feels good to ramble for long periods of time..
