c6 mn6 ratios
Could Anyone Tell Me If There Is A Difference In Transmission Gear Ratios Between The C6 Z51 Mn6 Speed And The Nonz51 Mn6 Speed. Are Either Of These The Same As My O2 Z06. I Am Planning On Buying An 07 And Would Like To Get The Same Gear Box As My Z06.i Think That They Both Come With 3.42 Rear Axle Ratio Which Is The Same As The Z06. There Seems To Be Alot Of Talk On This Forum About Loss Of 1/4 Mile Et With The C6 Over The C5z06 Due To Torque Management. Is This True Only With The Automatic Transmissions?
Thanks :

The Z51 gears are almost exactly same as the C5Z gearing so that will be your baby. Im not going to touch the TM issue. People will argue it to death both ways, manual tranny or auto. If nothing else the C5Z had a little better rubber and is a bit lighter.
