The C6 Corvette debuted as a 2005 model featuring a 6.0 liter LS2 producing 400 HP. For 2008, a new 6.2 liter version known as the LS3 was introduced with 30 more horsepower. Other changes included improved steering feel, a new 5 spoke wheel design, and a new full leather interior option to help bring the Corvette's interior up to the competition. A 6 speed manual transmission is standard while an optional 4 speed automatic is available for those who don't deserve to be driving a Corvette. The optional Z51 performance package offers more aggressive dampers and springs, larger stabilizer bars, Goodyear Supercar tires with an asymmetrical tread pattern, and larger, cross-drilled brake rotors for outstanding handling performance that is still comfortable for daily driving. The Z51 brings the C6 up to the performance levels of the previous gen Z06 but at a lower cost. In terms of styling, not a lot changed since the C5 but thats not a bad thing. Chevy gave a great looking car a face lift and made it look even better.
