So, is it the stock antenna cut down, or is it something else ?

Remember my previous post - 101 uses for a Z06 antenna - this is obviously a new one.

I believe Jake Delaney from corvette concepts on the c5registry has a bunch of these for sale. They look pretty neat and for 25.00 bucks also with free shipping from a post from the registry! :D

Cut mine down with a cut-off wheel. Finished it with a small rubber vacuum cap. (easy and cheap !!)
But now the radio won't pick up my favorite east German polka stations ... :p:

Tom, I had that idea - almost a year ago, when I first got the Z - and it landed me at Radio Shack - resulting in one of those rubber duckie antenna's ... cute, very cute - but now I'm back to stock, the damn thing broke ... :lol:

I hear the shorter antenna reduces the wind drag coefficient below the coupes level. The Ultimate Machine!
