I cant find the info I am after. I am curious to see if they went with the ls7 clutch standard on the ls3.

Can you add Nav only to the base model?

Does z51 come with 3.42 gears . I see 3.42 gears on base model cars without z51.

If you get the base model what are the shock and spring and sway bar ratings.

Is 42,000 a good price for a new base model 3.42 six speed car?

Are there any thread links to similar questions about the 08.

Thanks.

I'll try to answer your questions:

- No, the LS7 clutch is not standard with the LS3 package as far as I know.

- Not sure I understand your question, but if you mean from the factory, no. The Nav integrates with the HUD and the 1LT package is not available with the HUD and subsequently can't be equipped with the navigation head unit from the factory. Some have added the OEM nav head unit after the fact as well as some have added the HUD with a little effort.

- All manual six speed transmission C6 Corvettes have a 3.42 rear end. The A6 non Z51 automatic has a 2.56 rear end. The performance axle option adds the 2.73 rear end to the A6 cars. The Z51 A6 cars come standard with the 2.73 performance axle.

- Here is a table compiled by member Modshack that may help:



- $42,000 is a fair price.

You may want to do a search above in the red band, then click specific to C6 General.

As to price, that's not bad at all for a base C6 coupe. May be able to get a very little bit more off, but not much.

The rear springs in the Z51 are softer than the base coupe? That's interesting. Anyone know why?

What's a C6/C5 T1?
