According to the GM website and edmunds.com there is a paddle shift option for the 2006 C6.
check out the standard/options.

Paddle shifters are for Euro sissies.

To the best of my knowledge we have ordered a C6 with paddle shifters...I don't think a manual driver will switch, but someone who usually drives an auto would like it

Being a huge Corvette fan and owner. I was going to buy a new 06 C6, but GM pushed out the 06 production date to late Sept instead of early July. I couldn't wait. That's one of the reasons I bought the 05 645. I drove the 645 with SMG and hated the way it shifted, lift foot off gas, shift, wait, wait, wait, then the car would decide to shift. The 645 auto-manual is right there when you want it. Lots of fun to drive.
Just my 2 cents worth,
Tim

We couldn't wait for an 06 C6...picked up a new 05 on Friday night.
Paddle Shift would have been cool though. Another plus of the 06 is the XM antenna is hidden and not the big black wart that we have now. I'd rather have Sirius too. Eh, oh well. I'm still happy with this one!

I'm liking the Z51 performance package option.

With Michael as in part of the team or as in competition? I can't hardly watch F1 this year because of all of the handicapping that's gone on to help the poorer teams. F1 has always been the pinnacle of all racing... now it's barely better than Indy or NASCAR. Ecclestone is killing F1. Can't wait to see the teams start their own league after this contract is up. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
He reced back in the days, not reacently. I think that was in F3000 class. Agree with you all of the above, Ferrari has a deal with Ecclestone for too long though. However I have to give it to Raikkonen (McLaren). He has been way faster than anybody else this year. Too bad they got his equioment reliable enough too late.

We got the Z51. Nice bigger rotors and cooler tires. It definitely grips a lot better than the C5. It's harder to get the tires to break loose when spinning donuts in the parking lots.

We all hope so!!! It is the only team that can do the tactics. Those damn Brits can't keep their focus together at McLaren's. It is going to take always a great driver to even get close to the top (look at Mr. Hakkinen, my personal favourite. Btw, my girlfriend's cousin is their best friend ). But at the Team Renault, they got two suck ass drivers and they are kicking butt...

The Z06 is not yet available. If you want one you should put it on order because there is limited production and a sticker of around 70k for one thats fully loaded

You are most likely very much right. Fernando Alonso (Currently Renault) has just signed with McLaren starting 2007. I know Kimi doesn't have a deal with McLaren past 2006 season and he's definately going to sign with real contender.
btw, Kimi is building his own kick ass SUT (lift,SC etc etc)

Hey Timster I resemble that remark. I'm changing allot of stuff but, do not think I could swallow the paddle shifters. Not sure yet what i think about them on the Vette. It is a situation where surely it will benefit some in a real down to earth way. But, when it comes to the Vette it needs to be 6 on a stick and stick changed out to a short throw shifter. In fact would not mind an inline shifter to just click Your way up on a legal race track not on the streets. Inlines can give You just enough edge to win. Ran one on a 1968 Mustang coupe that was ported, polished and blue printed with a block setup that was one of the last 2 left in the Ford warehouse while Gapp and Rousch was still with Ford. Friend found them so We jumped on them. It had all the inner race guts with it and I never could rev it enough to hurt it, especailly on the line with line lock. I guess that is why I guess the Vette should be a stick. If nothing else for the good old days and the background of running high HP cars with stick not automatic like paddels. But, the paddlers may serve a real good purpose just not read up on them enough. I'd drive it though if it did have them most likely would not take the fun out of it.
TAZ
