Have you considered going with an automatic? There were a few at the latest Z06fest. One in a TT and one in a 00 FRC that had gone through several rear ends and exploded a clutch. If you do go with the C6 rear consider a shield around your clutch because a clutch coming apart is a very dangerous thing and 1000hp is some serious power...

Do the C6 swap....keep it a manual, throw on a kevlar blanket... and do it to it.
I plan on doing something like this at some point as well...but i'm more interested in the ZR1 ratios.

Well my C6 Z06 rear swap is going to have to wait for awhile. I went to a track rental at MIR and one of my turbos ate itself. I figured it was a good chance to upgrade and pick up a new set. They are sweet with stainless turbine housings. Anyway they are borg warner from a non supporting vendor so I can't post a link. As luck would have it my clutch slipped big time for the first time. Now I am going to go to a twin disc. Needless to say my play money has run out for now. Can you just swap the trans output shaft on the 6 speed trans? I saw were you could do it on the auto.

Too bad you didnt have the brace on it,it would have saved the trans case.Usually when it breaks like yours it bends/breaks the end of the output shaft regardless. Oh,and I can make you a deal on a clean output shaft and tailhousing for your trans.PM me if your interested,they are out and ready to ship !
