Default LS6 Intake is a LS6 intake??

Is there any difference between LS6 intake manifold (01-02 F-body) = (# 12561184) & LS6 intake manifold (from Corvette Z06) = (# 12573572)?

Same exact manifold, just different part numbers. Only difference I've noticed is on ebay the manifolds that come off Z06 with the correct part number seem to fetch a little more money on average compared to that of an Fbody LS6 manifold. Around $50 more on average. Not sure why other than people see Z06 and automatically think it's better.

I think drive by wire on the z06 and cable on the f body. The vette one dont have the bosses to bolt the cable bracket on to. Cant remember if the first zo6s had cable or not

Not exactly true in all cases. I have the Z06 LS6 intake with part #12573572 (I even just popped the hood and looked to verify memory) in my C5 and it has the throttle cable bracket bosses that are on the passenger side of the intake snout. Yes, the first Z06's had drive-by-wire. In fact, ALL C5 and C5 Z06 Corvettes came with drive-by-wire throttle bodies.
