There's a file available with a listing of the options. If you have Adobe Acrobat, here it is. 2006 coupes & verts don't go into production until Sept. 9. 2006 Z06s start production in July.

I purchased a 2001 off the showroom floor in August 2000. The car was manufactured 6/21/00. The dealer comment about production begfining around now for 2006's does sound plausible according to facts regarding my 2001. Unless somethings changed for 2006's.
Still would like to know of anyone knows of any teaks or changes? The start month/day is immaterial, just asking about whats changing.

Thanks for the clarification, I was not aware of the production date claims by GM, but then again I really don't follow that closely. Dealer should have known that though!
Are you aware of any tweaks. Basis for the question is, if I were considering moving to a C6, is it prudent to wait for the 2006(improvements?), or just get the best deal NOW on a 2005.

Here's the ones I've heard of:
1. rumored 6 speed auto w/ paddle shifters (strong rumor - probably true)
2. new steering wheel
3. rumor of chrome wheel option
4. preferred equip groups packaged differently
The Sept 9 begin of production has been confirmed. You might want to consider a different dealer.

Thanks Mike...I appreciate that input. The paddle shifters possibilty sounds very intersting and may be worth the wait. A new steering wheel and equip packaging changes aren't that compelling to me. I assume the balancer problem I've read some forum members talk about is solved.
My instincy to is to wait for the 2006, assuming they'll have worked out some pesky issues with th 2005 and intro some new improvenments such as you pointed out.

Does the antenna in the outside mirror replace the module that sits on the t-roof span of the current C6?
