Whats New for the 2006 Chevrolet Corvette?
The new Corvette Z06 is the big news, but the standard 2006 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe and Convertible also see upgrades this year. Foremost among them is the new six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters, which features Drive, Sport, and Manual shift modes. Drive works like a regular automatic; Sport engages the Corvette’s Performance Algorithm Shift software; and Manual works with the paddle shifters for complete driver control. The paddles are mounted to a new, smaller-diameter steering wheel this year, and the dual-stage front airbags are upgraded with an occupant sensing system for the passenger’s side. Order the upgraded Bose audio system in 2006, and XM satellite radio is included (though the subscription is extra). New exterior colors include Velocity Yellow Tintcoat and Monterey Red Metallic Tintcoat, while the interior is offered in a new Titanium Gray color. On convertibles, the top is newly available in Storm Gray.Advantages of the 2006 Chevrolet Corvette: Torquey
