⚙️ Transmission
The 2006 Corvette Coupe was available with:
- 6-speed manual transmission
- 6-speed electronically controlled paddle-shift automatic as an option
The six-speed automatic was new for the 2006 Coupe and Convertible. It offered Drive, Sport and Paddle Shift modes.
Performance
With 400 hp and 400 lb-ft, the LS2 C6 provides very strong acceleration for its era. Typical published figures put the manual Coupe's 0–60 mph time around the mid-4-second range, with a top speed in the neighborhood of 180 mph, depending on configuration and testing conditions.
Dimensions & Weight
- Wheelbase: 105.7 inches
- Length: approximately 174.6 inches
- Width: approximately 72.6 inches
- Height: approximately 49 inches
- Curb weight: approximately 3,179 lb
- Fuel tank: 18 gallons
- Cargo capacity: approximately 22.4 cu ft
Wheels, Tires & Brakes
Typical 2006 Coupe specification:
- Front tires: P245/40ZR18
- Rear tires: P285/35ZR19
- Front wheels: 18-inch
- Rear wheels: 19-inch
- 4-wheel ABS
- Large four-wheel disc brakes
The Corvette's low weight, rear-wheel drive and wide staggered tires give it a performance-oriented chassis.
⛽ Fuel Economy
For the 6.0L Coupe, published EPA figures are approximately:
- City: 16–17 mpg
- Highway: 26–27 mpg
- Combined: around 19 mpg
Actual economy varies with transmission, driving style and vehicle condition.
Interior & Equipment
Depending on the specific option package, a 2006 Corvette could include:
- Leather seating
- Power driver's seat
- Power windows and locks
- Keyless access
- Dual-zone automatic climate control
- Bose audio system
- CD/MP3 capability
- XM Satellite Radio
- OnStar
- Advanced dual-stage frontal airbags
- Passenger sensing system
- Three-spoke steering wheel
XM Satellite Radio with the Bose system and the new three-spoke steering wheel were among the 2006 updates
-
⭐ Important distinction: Coupe vs. Z06
The 2006 Corvette lineup also introduced the C6 Z06, but the standard Corvette Coupe should not be confused with it.
Standard Corvette Coupe:
- 6.0L LS2
- 400 hp
- 400 lb-ft
2006 Corvette Z06:
- 7.0L LS7
- 505 hp
- 470 lb-ft
- Fixed-roof body
- Significantly upgraded brakes, suspension, chassis and body construction
-
Bottom line: This is the classic C6 Corvette LS2 Coupe—a lightweight, rear-wheel-drive, two-seat sports car with a 400-hp 6.0L V8, removable roof, and either a six-speed manual or the newly available six-speed paddle-shift automatic.
