Default 2006 C6 changes?

Hey all, my 1st post here--I'm a current C5 z51 owner looking to upgrade to a C6 z51. I wanted to wait 'till the 2006 release for them to work out any bugs.

I have read a few post speculating about the changes for 2006.
It seems like the 3 spoke steering wheel from the Z06 will be standard but do we know any other changes for sure?
6 speed auto has been mentioned--would work well here in N. VA traffic.
New Onstar digital? So you could use your verizon service?
Anything else?

When do you have to place an order for the 2006?

Thanks for the feedback

Welcome to the Forum. As for changes everything is just rumor at this time. The bigger Corvette dealer will start taking 06 orders in April.

Many dealers have started a list already. They won't be able to put them in until May. Contact the Forum dealer of your choice.

Everything you mentioned is a possibility.
