Shock question
I am just curious, is there a difference between c6 z51 shocks compared to c6 z06 shocks? If so how much difference is there on a Weekend Driver with a once in a while drag pass. Is it worth the it to change over or not.

Pretty big difference. Z06 shocks are quite a bit stiffer. Most don't bother with them though, unless you get them for free or close to it.
If you want a better shock experience, the majority here go with Bilstein Sports or Koni FSD's. If you want a slightly softer ride the recommendation is Bilstein HD's.

I'd agree that the Z51 are not as stiff as the Z06 shocks. Do you have a Z51 currently?

100%. Oem shocks, whether base, Z51 or Z06 are essentially throw away items. If you are going to spend any money, get something better as stated above.
