sophisticated powerhouse on wheels!!! Automotive History: The
Corvette C6 featured new bodywork with exposed headlamps, revised
suspension geometry, a larger passenger compartment, a larger 6.0 L
(364 cu in; 5967 cc) engine and a higher level of refinement. It is
5.1 inches (13 cm) shorter than the C5, but the wheelbase was
increased by 1.2 inches (3 cm). It is also one inch (2.5 cm)
narrower. The 6.0 L LS2 V8 produces 400 hp (298 kW) at 6000 rpm and
400 lb�ft (542 N�m) of torque at 4400 rpm. Like the C5, the
Corvette C6's suspension consisted of independent unequal-length
double wishbones with transverse fiberglass mono-leaf springs and
optional magnetorheological dampers. With an automatic
transmission, the Corvette achieves 15 mpg-US (16 L/100 km; 18
mpg-imp) / 25 mpg-US (9.4 L/100 km; 30 mpg-imp) mpg (city/highway);
the manual-transmission model gets 16 mpg-US (15 L/100 km; 19
mpg-imp) / 26 mpg-US (9.0 L/100 km; 31 mpg-imp) mpg. The Corvette's
manual transmission is fitted with Computer Aided Gear Shifting
(CAGS), obligating the driver to shift from 1st directly to 4th
when operating at lower RPM. This boosts the EPA's derived fuel
economy thus allowing the buyer to avoid paying the "gas guzzler"
tax. GM badges were added to the car in 2006. Beginning with the
2008 model year, the Corvette received a new engine, the LS3. With
displacement increased to 6.2 liters (376 cu in; 6162 cc), power
was increased to 430 hp (321 kW) at 6500 rpm and 424 lb�ft (575
N�m) of torque at 4600 rpm, or 436 hp (325 kW) and 428 lb�ft (580
N�m) with the optional vacuum actuated valve exhaust. The previous
Tremec T56 transmission on manual Corvettes was replaced with a new
version, the TR6060, in model year 2008. Manual Corvettes have
improved shift linkage; the automatic model is set up for quicker
shifts, and (according to Chevrolet) goes from 0 to 60 mph in 4.0
seconds, faster than any other production automatic Corvette. From
2008 onward, steering was revised for improved feel and the wheels
were updated to a new five-spoke design. The last Corvette C6, a
white 427 convertible, was completed on February 28, 2013. Mirror
