Default C-5 to C-6

Besides the two sharing similar powertrains ie.LS engine. Does anyone know what systems, if any they share? I guess what I am trying to ask do they still have the same modules used on the C-5? ie. BCM, TCS

From all the info I have gathered, the C6 shares very little with the C5. The LS2 is very similar, but greatly modified. The transmission is similar, but again, greatly modified. ECM & other electronics do not interchange.

Per GM, the C6 is 70+% new parts.

I would have thought even more than that honestly...but its no different than alot of cars when they are updated. What is rare is when the entire drivetrain is changed/updated like they did with the C6
