Most of the vendors sell them. Eckler's, Mid America motorworks. Corvette Garage. The one I got looks like a short version of the original mast. around eight inches tall and $20 bucks I think from Eckler's

...if you listen to CDs more than radio like I do, I elected to leave the oem Z06 antenna off. I used a black vinyl cap to cover/protect the threaded stud. It looks like an electric antenna in the down position.
If you're in a metropolitan area your reception may not suffer much w/o the antenna. I cut my oem antenna down to approx. 8" and also covered the end of it with a black vinyl cap.

I got this one and am happy with it. Can't tell by the pics, but it is nice and thick and looks great on my Torch red Z

You're correct, the link to R-D RACING doesn't work...there's more than one site sponsor who's let their site links go down.
Anyway, an internet search found them under this link. They still show that same style of antenna for $24.00 online...scroll to the bottom of the page...

I just spoke to R-D RACING...neat people with nice products! They had someone else manage their website and they've decided to re-do it themselves...they will update their website link.
I got mine from R&D racing.
