Always recommended to use a AGM battery on a C5, because the PCM and TAC module are located beneath the battery.

Your Z06 came from the factory with an AGM so you want to stick with this type of battery…you don’t want acid spills or fumes in your trunk…the charging strategy for a lead acid vs AGM are different also …watch the video !!
