I believe they all fit the same. Although I'm no expert on C6s. And yes, there's a weight difference. The thicker the bar, the more material in it, the heavier it gets.

Heavier? I figured since the Z06 is hollow and the base C6 is a solid piece of metal.. thought it would be same weight if not a little lighter..

Larry, is this the diameter of these? I'm just curious since the Z06/Zr1 are hollow if there any lighter..

Yes, diameters. Only ones I know are solid are the base rear. May be others but I don't think so.

WOW.. thats a BIG difference in size... Just wonder if they are heavier? Knowing the Z06/Zr1 R&D guys would put lighter stuff on them...
