Default ZO6 calipers vs C5 calipers

Could someone explain the difference between the ZO6 calipers and brake pads versus the regular C5 setup. Has anyone put some miles on a Ceramic Brake Pad/Slotted & Drilled setup from GM. Thanks.

C5 and Z06 calipers are the same except for the red paint on the Z06's. The brake pads I'm not sure.

same caliper just paint, but the front pads have a different GM part number, but the rears are the same as a regular C5

:iagree: The ZO6 calipers are just powder coated red. That is the route I went on mine just because I hate painting.
