I can across this post on Reddit.
Interestingly enough, if you’re having an issue with the throttle body and need a replacement, then the Z06’s throttle body will match the RS4’s perfectly. And did I forget to mention at a fraction of the cost? Not sure if anyone had transferred that info over here seeing as the AW post was from 2008, but I thought I’d share.
A local to me guy figured this out. Apparently there are two throttle bodies listed for the Z06 though so make sure that you get the correct one.
We talked about that here 4 years ago and a few times since. It’s neat indeed.

Nice find. I remembered hearing and talk about the dodge throttle body fitting. there are a few parts from headlight balasts and throttle bodys that we can get from the dodge catalog if we need replacements
GENERAL MOTORS 12570790 (not just the Z06 that used it)
PIERBURG 7.14423.00.0
ACDELCO 217-1617
CARDONE 673003
That last one is a remanufactured part and an absolute steal usually below $200. And should be as good as any new one.
Pretty cool info. We should make a cross parts section with what parts fit on Audi’s that are shared with other brands. (after seeing the thread with the ballast in the B7 shared with the Dodge/Chrysler)
^x2 on that idea!
B6 also in the same boat regarding new Chrysler ballast could be had for like $100 or so.
