Hi Ken,
Do you have any info on if or when the Tiptronic style shifters will be availaible? I think one of the codes is MYC?
Thanks,
Tim

Take a look at the ordering info for the 2006 Z06.
It shows the 4 speed deleted and the 6 speed auto available.

It seams like they would make a bigger deal out of the first paddle shift in a Corvette? (It may be over shadowed by the Z06)
Time to place and order!
Thanks for pointing that out!

I placed my order with a deposit with the understanding (In writing) if there was no 6 speed auto then there was NO deal.
I use to live in Ypsilanti, MI and the guys at Hydramatic said the 6 speed was a go deal for the Corvette. They were already making new six speed autos for other applications.
This was several months ago and I later heard they had run into trouble with machinery delivery from (guess where) China.
Lets hope the new transmision has been beat on real hard in testing.
