start by pulling your console and just look at it, someone probably put an aftermarket shifter on it.

My advice is to find another Vette with the ZF6, ask the driver of that car to take a look at your shifter...try it out...and see if it truly is bad.

You are a new C4 owner, perhaps you are used to the very precise shifter on a Honda? If so, then a normal ZF6 may seem, to you, to be "sloppy as hell".
"Hell" being a rather non-quantitative value, you aren't telling us much. Put a dial indicator on it, take some readings at various ambient temperatures, and get back to us in the morning.
