While they basically are interchangible, they are different part numbers I believe. At least for the front heated O2's. People tend to recommend the corvette sensors over the F-body especially when using long tube headers.

The front o2 plugs are completely different from F-body to Vette. The Vette uses the Old LT1 style flat plug and the F-body uses the square plug.

The O2 sensor itself it the same one used in many closed loop applications, the reason for the part number difference is the length of wire used in the harness and/or the mating plug. There is not true performance or longevity benefit using one or the other. Corvette O2s have longer wire harnesses, hence why some opt to run those with LTs.
