Default Front C5 Calipers on a rear C6?

I read awhile back that a front C5 caliper can fit on the rear of a C6? Any information on this? I couldn't find anything using the search feature.

One of my Corvette racing friend's uses AP Racing brakes in front and C5 Z06 front brakes on the rear of his C6. Although, he doesn't have a parking brake I vaguely recall that can be added. It can be done. You might check with Randy at Doug Rippie Motorsports. I think they originally set this up for him when he bought his C6 in 2005 and shipped it there for a major rework.
