no it doesn't.... none of the c6 cars do you just shut it hard enough it doesn't engage a motor to pull it down

My 08 LS3 coupe had an electric pull down for the rear hatch. My 08Z does not.

Sorry, but you're wrong! My '07 Coupe 3LT has an electric pull-down for the hatch; maybe you should check the facts and owner's manual before you make a blanket statement like that!

All the base C6 coupes have the auto pull down latch for the hatch.

The 2006-2008 Z06 did not have the feature - they had the same manual latch as all the verts have.

In 2009 and 2010, ALL coupes (including Z06 and ZR1) have the pull down latch (edited: actually, I don't know about the GS coupes).

I really liked the feature on my '05 coupe, and when I got a 2006 Z06 I missed it. So.....I put an auto pull down latch into my Z06. Here's a link to a thread about it (you have to scroll down to post# 34 before I get parts and start doing the installation):

thanks guys, you busted me i have an O5 Z51 1SB, that's a fully loaded, and i don't see it in my manual or i have never seen it pull down like the old f bodys, on them it was obvious, i just dont see it on mine, but mine came with a hatch handle and i have read somewhere the newer one didn't ok i went out and checked, if it hits the latch and doesnt shut all the way i always would open then drop from a little higher, now i went and just popped the hatch with the key fob and just pushed down a little and it pulled down i will stick to racing and answering questions about those things, good bust guys
