2006 Corvette?
Are there any differences on the 2005 and 2006 Corvette? I have tried looking on the net for info on the 2006, but all I can find info on is the Z06. Does anyone know where I can find some info on the regular 2006 Corvette? Thanks

The only change that I have seen thus far is a 3 spoke steering wheel and a few tweeks to the nav stereo system. Plus a few new colors that are already on late 2005 models, Velocity yellow & a new red color.

To each his own - if like the manual transmission, have at it, but many of us are very happy with auto, especially the new 6 speed with paddles. By the way, check the numbers as to which tranny is more popular
