Default 05 GTO/C5/C6 Calipers - same?

Someone told me that the 05 GTO uses a C6 caliper, which takes the same pad as a C5 caliper.

A buddy is going to an HPDE with me this Friday and has never gone. I was going to let him use my Z06 pads when I put my Wildwoods on. He has an 05 GTO M6 and I know brakes were a problem in the 04 so the pad should help him a bit at least.

I believe they are interchangeable but does anyone know for sure?

Yes, the fronts are the same. The rears are unique though. I have a set of HP+ for the front of my 2005 Goat. I had to order them as '04 Z06 as Tire Rack doesn't list anything for the GTO.

Stock front ZO6 pads will help the 2005 GTO quite a bit
