Overview & Reviews

The 2008 Chevrolet Corvette receives more power, additional standard features (including OnStar, satellite radio and auto-dimming mirrors) and refinements to the steering, transmissions and interior. A 427 Limited Edition Z06 joins the 'Vette family midway through the model year.

• Exotic-car performance for short money, daily-driver functionality, excellent ergonomics.

• Base interior lacks pizzazz compared to rivals, ultra-performance Z06 looks too much like the standard Corvette.

  Perfect choice to replace old Vette - 2008 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Lea - April 28 - 5:06 pm

  I owned a 69 427 pumped up Vette for 16 years. Decided at last, to replace it instead with a new one a few weeks ago. My old car was a beast, and this one equals it, but stock and under warranty! Chevy has finally brought back a true muscle car! Fun to drive, great gas mileage, unbelievably 26.5 mpg after a 3200 mile trip out west, and a rather comfortable ride to boot. I still miss my old car but this one takes away the pain leaving nothing to be desired.

  My Dream Car - 2008 Chevrolet Corvette
  By M. Biagini - April 18 - 1:34 am

  Got this as a Christmas gift Dec. 07. We are a Corvette family, with my mom owning a 82 and also a 2005. After driving both of those I was ecstatic to get in my 08 for the first drive. This thing handles like nobodys business, so smooth and responsive. I love all the little gadget-y stuff (like the OnStar, GPS, heated seats are fab. in the cold NY winters). The push button start took some getting used to, I prefer to turn a key myself. Also, getting in and out was a comedy of errors until I figured out how its supposed to be done. My only real complaint was an extremely squeaky roof. Every time I hit a bump, squeak, squeak. Dealer fixed it no problem. This car is amazingly sharp!

  08 Coupe - 2008 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Pleased - April 5 - 11:11 am

  Purchased new in March of 09. 0% financing and steep discount was enough to convince. The car looks fantastic in Velocity Yellow. Turns heads around town. Averaging over 21+ MPG.

  08 Vette Coupe - 2008 Chevrolet Corvette
  By 08 Z-51 Coupe - February 23 - 10:51 pm

  AI bought an 08 with 5000 miles on it. It has Z-51, dual mode and 6 speed manual. Performance is outstanding, dual mode is fun. Z-51 suspension is on the stiff side. It is OK in states with smooth roads, but would be bothersome in northern climates with cracked pavement. Overall a well built car so far.

  Worth the wait! - 2008 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Bluuurr - January 13 - 3:59 pm

  I had never owned a Corvette before purchasing a new 2008 crystal red metalic coupe. I thought that I could not afford one yet, and then the Chevrolete employee pricing was offered. I had planned to wait another 5 years before taking the plung, but the price was right sooner. I had never even been in a Vette or even test driven a Vette until my purchase. I just knew I wanted one! I couldnt be any more pleased with color, speed and acceleration, interior. I love everything about this car. Everyone else loves it too. To all you who have put off purchasing the new C6 Corvette...go do it, youll not regret it.

  $50k piece of junk - 2008 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Dissapointed - December 30 - 11:08 am

  Considering all the good reviews I must have gotten the car built on a Friday before a holiday. This is the worst car I have ever owned. Worst paint job I have ever seen. Silver body doesn’t match the gray front. Visible drips in the paint. Car was purchased new but I took it to a body shop to see if it was ever hit and repainted. Seams dont line up, door doesnt close flush. Worst stereo I have ever heard. Cheap interior. Center console was put on incorrectly. Window indexing mechanism was defective. Brakes continued to squeak even after service addressed issue. Loud and embarrassing buzzing/humming sound coming from the dash when car goes over 70mph. Too many other problems to list.

  No car better! - 2008 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Conrad - December 29 - 10:58 pm

  Im a mechanical engineer and I love this car, my first Corvette! Acceleration, fuel economy, fun to drive. Its much more than I thought a Corvette could be. The engineers who worked on this car should be very proud. I test drove what I thought was my dream car, a BMW Z coupe, M series (my daily driver is a 5 series) and it did not compare. Only two options Z51 and dual mode exhaust. I removed the fuse from the exhaust so its open all the time. At 58 years old, this car makes me feel the same way I did when I was 23. I drive it on day long trips through the Ozark mountains, simply wonderful. A pure expression of freedom and individuality. Its magic!

  Best money ever spent - 2008 Chevrolet Corvette
  By George Ware - December 24 - 9:17 pm

  I owned a 1984 and a 1986 Z51 C4. I liked the C5 but didnt have the money. When I picked up my black on black 3LT C6 the smile stuck to my face. and now I have high blood pressure when ever you push the start button 8^). I love this car... and after a year & 8k miles it keeps getting better!

  American Muscle - 2008 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Tony Fiorello - December 19 - 12:30 pm

  This is my 11th Corvette since I was 18. I have had a pretty wide spread of years and this 2008 steals the show! Very docile in traffic but packs a heck of a punch when desired. I had a fast 1972 LT1 car that this one would probably beat, and be more comfortable doing it. The electronic suspension control really steps up to the plate when needed. Thanks Chevy, youre number 1 in my book!
