Default Z06 Shifter same as coupe?

Is there any difference in the shifters in Z06 and non-Z06 C5's? 03 Z06, in case it matters.

The C5 shifter used rubber isolation bushings where the "box" mounted above the torque tube.
The C5/Z06 shifter used solid metal isolation bushings, so there may be some felt vibration/noise.
In reality, the shifters from 1997 to 2009 are all the same stamped metal with rubber isolated lever design.
The only difference was the square **** that screwed onto the 9/16-18" lever for the C5/Z06 cars, and the bent back lever with ergonomic **** with side fastener of the C6/Z06 cars. The boots were also different.
