As noted, it will fit fine. Any hood from any C6 will fit on any other C6.

Excepting, of course, the ZR1 . . . . .

Including the ZR1. They are all the same width and length and all share the same mounting points.

Ummmmmm . . . I believe the under-hood supercharger and it's surround will not allow the ZR1 to accept any other C6 hood - so not all the same

He's talking about fitting it to a 'STANDARD BASE C6 MODEL'
. Not the other way around.

I understand the OP's question just fine.
I was respectfully responding to Talon90's reply that "Any hood from any C6 will fit on any other C6".

They will all 'fit' the car, they may not clear a motor with a supercharger though.

You are correct. The height of the standard C6 hood will not clear the intercooler for the ZR1 supercharger, that's why they had to add the window.
I just wasn't thinking in those terms as the OP had asked about the base but you're right, I had overlooked the height on the ZR1.
. Not the other way around.
