It'd be nice to have the real, Le Mans class-winning Corvette C6.R instead of the fake "Corvette ZR1 (C6) LM Race Car '09" and the Z06 version from GT5.

Official specs of the 2012 C6.R here. The GT1 and GT2 cars are compared here. (Corvette Racing was in the GT1 class at Le Mans from 2005-2009, GT2 in 2010, and LM GTE Pro from 2011-2013).

Highlights of the GT1's specs are:
7.0L V-8
590 hp (440 kW)
640 lb-ft of torque (868 Nm)
2,580 lbs (1,170 kg)

EDIT: Found some higher-res versions of the official, studio pics:

More pics here.

Qualifying times at Le Mans for the various C6.Rs. (Best of each years' Corvette Racing C6.Rs.)

Code:
2013    03:58.64
2012    03:55.91
2011    03:59.52
2010    03:59.44
2009    03:54.23
2008    03:47.67
2007    03:52.13
2006    03:53.10

Hard to say whether the wildly different specs were all that was affecting laptimes, though. (The comparison of the GT1 and the GT2 cars' specs seems pretty dramatic.) Still, it seems like the GT1 version would be the best to have in GT6—just in case. :)
