Yes, the parts interchange. There are several threads on the LS1 brake swap.

No, the CTS-V caliper will not fit the C5. The 6 piston vette caliper will bolt on, though.

I have those calipers in stock too

Jason, I gotta ask, who is the chick in your signature pic and if not directly related, how many parts you need for an even up trade?

If any of the above cars use 17" rims, it's possible they use this same caliper but with a shorter mounting leg. This caliper might then fit on our f-bodies that run a 17" rim. I doubt it would bolt directly to the spindle, but even if we have to run a $100 bracket, it would still be a very cost effective swap. I'll do some research when I have some free time.

Dang, I forgot that this caliper for another car might cost double or triple what it costs compared to the Caddy application. Let's just hope for the best.

very true, perhaps some of the volvos would run a 17" rim? that would be my first guess

I got my setup from Kevin at PartsTaxi. $759 shipped for CTS-V calipers, pads, C6 ZO6 rotors, and all the necessary hardware for mounting the calipers and pads.
