What Changed

Sixth generation (C6) Corvette is shorter, narrower with a longer wheelbase. Styling is edgier and features fixed headlamps. Under the hood, a 400-bhp 6.0L V-8 provides power. Transmission choices include the standard 6-speed manual and a 4-speed automatic. Optional Z51 performance package adds more aggressive tires, gearing and suspension tuning.
