Default C6 Z06 Differential conversion to C5
Has anyone put a C6 Z06 Differential in a C5? I know you have to change the Transmission output shaft, Lower Control arms, crossmember, ect ect..... I have an option to do this and was just wondering if there are any cons to it.

I have read in anumber of different forums that the C5 rear diff is much better at tolerating abuse than the C6 ZO6's.
Don't know from first hand experience though.
