Very true but the C6 Z06 and I'm betting ZR1 don't have a full shroud. No C5 or normal C6 does. You're also not producing huge horsepower sitting still or idling in traffic so you're not producing any more heat. Of course you have to know the capacity of both the fan and radiator before you can say if a partially cover radiator/ fan combination will work.
