Just the rotor? I assume it will physically fit, but the system is probably different.

Ummm yeah. Why does the Z06 have 5 lugs then? This picture is from the LA Auto Show when the Z06 was shown.

Yeah.. i thought you said it was 6 lug pattern... and I know a few people running C6 rims on their fbody's.. Recheck your sources again... I think you made a mistake.

Default c6

I am running a C5 front suspension on my 69 Camaro and have a set of c6 wheels bolted up right now. The offset on a c6 wheel is only different in the rear. The fronts are the same. They changed the front geometry slightly. I think the upper control arm is longer. The rest is the same. Double check by asking the chevy guy for the part number for each of the rotors and see if they are not the same for the non-drilled units
