Thanks for everybody's responses.

If I understand this, does this adapt the C6, Z06 brakes to the C4? Also on the other forum there was mention that this requires 18" wheels. Is there a template available to see if it will fit my wheels? I have 18" HRE 445R wheels which have the valve stem inside from the spokes so I don't know if it will cause any clearance issues. Those wheels are shaped like a tube so there may be additional space compared to more conventional designs. Do you know what the whole set up would cost? Does it require any permanent modifications?

It looks like the Z06 brakes and the Movit brakes on the other thread are the only ones that would have a parking brake. The Movit brakes it seems would cost over $16,000.

The purpose for this upgrade is purely for looks. I don't do any racing.

Yes it adapts the Z06 brakes to our Z's, it is a quality peice of machining. I will take some measurements when I get her done. On Jeff's pic (post #4) you can see the brake shoes that will be the ebrake on the inside of the rotors. You will have to change to longer brake lines & you will need to make the ebrake cable longer as well. The whole setup cost me around $1600.00 so far (cals, rotors, & adapter) I still have to buy the new brake lines

You must have got the last set Street Shop had. I called them yesterday and the next batch of adapters is 4 weeks out.

The adapters with parking brake, no cable, are ~$700.

How are you fixing the parking brake issue? Get a longer cable or lengthening the stock one?
