I've heard that the Z06 and the Z51 use the same rad, but the base c6 uses a thinner one. Not sure if its true or just rumor

All C6 radiators were basically the same with only interanl coolers being the variable. Z06's are the only consistant version, which had an internal cooler on the passenger side for the rear end. The engine oil cooler (eoc) was an air type cooler in front of the radiator. Our model A05A would be for the Z06.

I use a Ron Davis 57mm unit with oil cooler. It fit perfect, and I've never had a cooling issue since I installed it with a 160 stat.
