Default Manual transmission in 2011 Grand Sport?

Which version of the manual trans did the 2011 Grand Sports get?
I can't find this anywhere.

Don't know which tranny, but the gear ratios are the same as the Z51 optioned regular C6s.

version, as in is it the Tremec TR 6060? to my knowledge, it is with improvements from about '09 or '10 as I recall.

In 2008 The Z06 got the 6060 so I believe that would also be the case with the rest of the vettes. If not 08, 09 for sure.

It is a Tremec TR6060 with an RPO code of MZ6 and it is rated at 430ft lb of torque

But it also has a 30-spline mainshaft, which I'd assume should raise the torque capacity. I found out the hard way on my '08 Z51 TR6060 (same basic trans and gear ratios) that the 27-spline mainshaft is the weak link in the transmission.

The manual GS has the 30-spline mainshaft and the Z06 differential

Really?! Well, if that's true, it makes me feel better about some future mods.
