Great review, very indepth. I drove a 6spd C6 about a year ago and it was a blast! Keep us updated on the mods you aren't going to install but are thinking about getting... 8)

Its been around since the C5 at least, I'm sure Vette experts can further elborate. As annoying as it is, it is a nice way to boost up the EPA sticker MPG.

the skip-shift is old, and been around since the early 90's C4's to some degree. What is 'odd' on the new box is the "auto-center" feature. It would take some getting used to.
