Sure they will, with lots of $$ and new wheels.

Cheapest drilled and vented calipers would be a Z51 set up, paint the calipers while they are off.

CAll Gene at GM Parts house and he can sell you all the parts you need to do the brakes. You will then need to order wheels to clear them. The brakes I think are about $1,800 with shipping and the wheels start at around a $1,000 for Z06 reproductions to 4, 5 or $6,000 for good wheels.

Corvette garage - corvettegarage.com - has a package called "Sport Rotor Package" for the C6, they in fact Brembo rotors. They are Zinc washed so they will not rust and look superb. Performance is excellent. Add their caliper paint and paint the calipers. It's a very good set-up. price is great.
