Its finally updated
Just checked out the official GM Corvette website. They finally have updated it for the '06 models. I'm off to explore.

Is it actually a different finish or just a lighting/angle thing?
I was hoping for something like that (not a huge fan of the silver though I could live with it versus spending the extra $1200.00 on the aftermarket options LOL), even a flat black option or something.

The copy says " a new, richer finish ". A definite change, looks darker, like a graphite?

Great catch, sure enough, it's a new trim plate!
Wonder if the material is any different at all? Naaah...

It looks like a darker shade of silver to me...that and the "silver-ringed" ***** are an improvement IMO.
That Titanium interior looks pretty nice, too...maybe I'm goofy, but the color looks slightly darker, somewhat richer, and less blue that 2005 Steel Gray. I suppose the low angle lighting could make it look better. Titanium would be my second choice if I couldn't get ebony.

Center console never bugged me, but I definitely like the chrome-ringed *****.

Where does it mention top speed and where does it mention new improved materials for interior?

Another small thing (but mostly useless), if you click on the picture of the coupe show from above on a twisty road, it says it's Monterey Red.

OhhhYeah...Monterey Red. Nice shot...if it were a convertible, I'd have to get a copy for my wall.
They also show an accessory Monterey Red console trim in the interior section.
