The Chevrolet C6 was designed by Tom Peters and built in Bowling Green, Kentucky the C6 featured new body work and exposed headlights, for the yime since the 1962 model year., revised suspension geometry and a larger passenger compartment despite the car being 5.1 inches shorter than the C5 achieved with a 1.2 inch longer wheelbase It is also one inch (2.5 cm) narrower.
The 6.0 L LS2 V8 emgine produced 400 hp, 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. GM badges were added to the car in 2006.
For 2008 the C6 received a new 6.2 litre LS3 V8 engine bringing a power increase to 430bhp The previous Tremec T56 transmission on manual Corvettes was replaced with a new version, the TR6060 with improved shift linkage and the automatic model is set up for quicker shifts, also from 2008 on steering was revised for improved feel and the wheels were updated to a new five-spoke design.
The high performance Zo6 arrived in 2006 with the largest-displacement small-block engine ever produced, a new 7,011 cc (7.0 L; 427.8 cu in) V8 engine codenamed LS7 producing 505 bhp and the car is also the lightest of all Corvette models The frame of the Z06 is constructed from aluminum, saving 136 pounds (61 kg) over the standard steel frame. Other weight saving measures such as balsa wood/carbon fiber composite floors and a magnesium alloy engine cradle were used. The Z06's body differentiates itself from the standard Corvette with its larger front and rear fenders and an intake inlet scoop on the front bumper. The front fenders are constructed with carbon fiber and the rear fenders contain ducts to aid in cooling the rear brakes.
