Default C6 Corvette Changes year to year?

Hello,

I have been searching for information related to changes in the model years for C6 Corvettes.

I have found changes from 2005-2008. However, I am not able to find anything beyond.

Would someone please post the model year changes like someone did for the C5. The C5 changes are very well documented.

I know launch control was added in 2010.

Thank you.

ALREADY DONE! There's a link in Pewter99's sticky to my new thread that has all the links.

Try it - You'll like it.

Yes, I just realized it's not exactly what you were suggesting, but this way, you can select just the model year info. you want to see. All the links are on one page.
