Again.........NO !

the C5 ZO6 IS NOT an aluminum framed car and again NO not all C6 went with an aluminum frame, ZO6 yes as was the ZR1. Now as far as lightweight components only on the ZO6 during the C5 run that would have been the Titanium exhaust

FWIW I own a 2002 ZO6 and previously owned a C6 GS.
