Hi there, I'm Jason and a soon-to-be vette owner. First things first, originally from NC, stationed in Germany but as soon as I get back to the states I am getting an 06+ Corvette, this will be by next year and if anything I may just go ahead and get one by this summer and have pops take car of it for now. He has a 75 so I know he will take care of it. So I have been doing research and so far the only thing I cannot get a good answer on is the suspension. I have read that C6's have coils and I have read in other places they have leafs front and rear. If someone could clear this up that would be great. Maybe even some pics perhaps? Also any things to look for in particular beings this is my first Vette. Well I'm glad to be hear and look forward to meeting some of yall and hearing your input.

Welcome to the Forum!!!!!!
Best of luck with your search and hope you find the perfect Vette!
Just a quick answer to your main question. C6 Corvettes (2005 - present) have Transverse Leaf Springs, front and rear.
As for other questions, head over to C6 General and ask away. There are lots of great people ready to help.
