I have had my base '05 6 speed for over 12 years with150,000 miles and I have found this year is an orphan !!! Ecm is dif, along with more.......................but I like the car!!

Make sure anyone you choose realizes this!!!! I have had several "experts" say HUH and not get back as they have no clue. Just look at the several items offered for the C6, they all seem to say 2006 and up.......Good Luck
