Does anyone know when this will be available for manuals? Thanks.

I don't understand your question. The C6 rear gear ratio has always been 3.42:1 for the manual transmissions regardless of the year.

I will be putting a 4.10 gear in mine as soon as it is available. It took about 6 months before the '05 gearing was available from DTE so it should be getting pretty close. This is an aftermarket thing in changing out your rear differential for shorter gears. I LOATHE the 3.42 gearing and am ready for this mod.

I like my 3.42, to each his own. I think that DTE has a 4.10 available now.

6 months? I watched Cartek Racing install 4.10s in a manual 2006 C6 back in September.
