Looks like GM might be coming up with a paddle shifter for the 06. No idea if it will be an option on the Z06 but apparently is going to be on the C6 with an auto. Notice the paddles in the little red blinky circles.

Faster shifting, I can tell you that. And an awesome ride...

Sorry, call me old school, but I just don't like the paddle shifters. I thought the SMG M3 was kind of sluggish off the line and the shifting was odd to me. My friend raves about the 360 F1, though, and says that with it any body can shift like Michael Schumacher.

I just talked to guy who has been racing with Michael and he gave me some inside info about F1's. He said that F1's donwshifts automatically. Only upshifting is done by the race driver. This ofcourse makes the cornering much easier, you only have to be careful not to upshift too early or your ass is ahead of you head

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.

I am a huge Ferrari fan and have enjoyed watching them clean up the last few years. I was skeptical about the rule changes myself, but I have to say it has made it a lot more fun to watch.
Did you see the San Marino GP? Man, that was one of the best races I've seen in a long time. Schumi came from p13 all the way up to P2. From that point on it was an all out due between Schumacher and Alonso.
I hope the rest of the season is that competitive. It will do a lot for the sport in the U.S.. Not to mention the fact that San Marino aired on CBS. We go to the USGP every year. It's like nothing else. Where have I heard that before?
Here is a pic I took from the inaugural USGP. Sorry about the quality. It's a scan from a poster I made for a friend.

That pic is of a regular C6 with a Steptronic system like in a BMW. The Z06 has a 6-speed stick no paddles

No ****? What gave you that idea? The threads title or my first post that has the picture in it that specifically says it is for the C6 but no word yet if it will show up on a Z06.  |

To further answer this question, there will be no paddle shift on any C6, unless it is a last minute added option. If you have a question about the C6 ask me. |

Da Blue Devil. Suppose to be INSAIN!
"Chevrolet won’t confirm it, but the company may be working on a $100,000 Corvette that’s a few performance notches above even its new Z06. GM Vice Chairman, Bob Lutz, while not confirming the car’s existence, told AutoWeek that the company is working on “something beyond the Z06” at a “much higher price point” that would match some of the world’s greatest cars. Le Mans 2005 GT1 winner Jan Magnussen is reportedly at Nurburgring hammering away at a post-Z06 ‘Vette, which, according to witnesses has 600 supercharged horses and is fitted with carbon fiber body parts."
