I think it has been done, but it is *extremely* expensive. If you want six speeds at a reasonable price convert it to a stick shift.

race proven motorsports in Delaware has done a few 6spd to automatic conversions on the new z06. I am sure they could give you an idea of what that would cost. I think I heard somewhere in the area of $6000-$10000.

Would this fit a C5?
