Corvette C6 is GM's latest version of Corvette which will probably be with us for many years to come. It differs quite a bit from the previous generation in several ways. Besides the obvious body change its more then just a re-skin. The steering and suspension have been redesigned for better control and feel.
The engine is now a 6.2L 430 Hp 428 lbft of torque from 5.7L 350 Hp in the C5 It is 5.1 inches shorter than the C5 but its wheelbase has increased by 1.2 inches. It is also one inch narrower. The manual transmission also has improved shift linkage along with the replacement of the previous T56 transmission with a new TR6060. The automatic is set up for quicker shifts giving the C6 Automatic a 0-60 mph time of 4.3 seconds making it faster then any other automatic corvette ever.
