Default 2008+ Major Differences

I've been researching and doing the search function here on the forum but I just wanted to make sure that I have this straight:

1 - In 2008+ C6 models, the engine was an LS3 (2007 was the last year for a LS2).

2 - 2008+ models have the 5yr/100k miles powertrain warranty (2007 and later did NOT)

3 - 2008+ models have the NPP option

4 - 2008+ models have the higher performance axle ratio options

Any other info would be appreciated....

The 08s came with an improved steering

I think the 09 had a different steering ratio

2007 models did indeed have the 5 year 100,000 mile warranty.

TR6060 transmission shows up in 2008.

2.73 gears are an option in the automatics in 2008, as are forged wheels.

Carbon fiber look console shows up in 2008 and for the F55 option, the new console **** too.

New air intake under the hood, and I believe that OnStar is standard for 2008.

New brushed aluminum finish on the manual shifter **** and inside door button trim.
