Well I have a wrecked GTO so the entire brake system is free. Any sponsors make kits to adapt these brakes to a 1st gen or am I S.O.L? I want to put on the SL6 Wilwood kit, but don't have the 3 grand to spend on them, I have more like 2, which isnt even close.

You can use the calipers and just get C4/C5 Vette brackets/abutements and use the kits everyone has. Pretty sure that is the main difference.
Rotors no one uses unless you make a custom set up. The offset is too much,but would give better clearance.
The 2005-6 calipers are slightly beefier.

yep, Skip is correct. The brackets should fit. Not sure about the rotor...
What are you doing with the rest of the GTO?

Im just gonna buy some wilwoods, the rest of the GTO? Sell it. It wont have a motor, and it might not have the tranny, but im thinking I want a TKO so I dunno. Other than that its complete.... except for the parts that need replacing after hitting a tree, lol.

As far as I know, no one is offering a kit for the GTO brakes as they were such a limited production run in 05-06. That said and as was mentioned before, the GTO front calipers is the same casting as the 2005+ C6 caliper, so you can use the caliper bodies with C5/C6 front pad abutment brackets along with the associated C5/C6 conversion components for your GM short-spindle application.

You might could mock them up on the C5 bracket Tobin sells and see if the GTO abutement holes can be drilled in the bracket and keep them. Although I think Vette abutments are only around $30 each.
