Yep the Z06 has metal bushings if my memory serves me correctly and the box is stronger.

That is the only difference I know of... metal bushings instead of rubber ones where the shifter housing mounts to the tunnel.
Other than that:

Seriously though I really like it over my C5 shifter. Smooth, more percise and shorter.

The C6Z06 shifter is a drop-in replacement for the C5 stock shifter. Shorter throws (not as short as the shortest aftermarket throws, but for me, a nice balance between short throw and too-high lever effort), factory sound (lack of rattles) and factory shift feel (some like it, some prefer the crisper aftermarket shifter feel). The C6 shift **** feels better in my hand than the stock C5's, too. Price is right ($180?? from Fred Beans).

Obviously, I'm *real* happy with mine. FWIW, one of the reasons it works so well for me is that I also did the "shift bolt mod" to the tranny to further reduce the resistance felt when moving through the "gates" between gears.

HTH,
Mark
