Model year 2006 will always be known as the year the 505-horsepower* Z06 was let loose on the sports car
world. With its 505-horsepower (377 kw) LS7 7.0L engine, racing-bred suspension, hydroformed aluminum frame
and unique bodywork, the Z06 is the fastest, most technologically advanced production model in Corvette's
53-year history.
Performance enhancements also are found on '06 Coupe and Convertible models, with the availability of a new
electronically controlled 6-Speed Paddle Shift transmission with automatic modes. The transmission has three
driving modes – Drive, Sport and Paddle Shift – and a wide, 6.04:1 overall ratio that enables a balance of
stirring acceleration and excellent fuel economy.
Other changes for 2006 Corvettes include a new three-spoke, 370-mm-diameter (9.4 inches) steering wheel. The
wheel is smaller in diameter than the previous steering wheel, allowing the driver to maintain a "tighter"
feel on the wheel and help improve turn-in response. The three-spoke design is characteristic of a sporty
design that is being implemented in other performance-oriented Chevrolet vehicles.
