Don't think so. From my understanding the C6 brakes use individual little pucks, instead of one big pad. I'm too lazy to search for the thread right now, but try looking for the thread about the C6 brake conversion on the C5. I faintly recall an issue with getting replacement pads cause of the difference and the C6's were fairly new at the time....

The base and Z51 C6's use the same brake caliper as the C5 and C5 Z06 so the pads will fit. The only thing the C6 does differently is mount the caliper over a larger diameter rotor with the Z51 option.
