>>>>>The C7 is still slated for mid yr 2013 for a 2014 model year.<<<<<

Most of that information has been posted here in a different format by a forum vendor dealer. However, the 2014 model year for the C7 is still questionable. May be 2015.

SpryGeezer

Still no RPO code for the OPTIONAL 6-speed paddle shift automatic transmission in Z06 or ZR1.

Wonder why?

PaulB

If they will put the automatic in the CTS V Cadillac, then why not in the Z06 or ZR1 Corvette. The Automatic is available in the Callaway SC606. There is a whole new Market out there for these cars.
