This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Exotic-car performance for short money, daily-driver functionality, excellent ergonomics.
Cons:
  • Base interior lacks pizzazz compared to rivals, ultra-performance Z06 looks too much like the standard Corvette.

  • Sweet Ride - 2008 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    I have wanted a Corvette for along time now but never pulled the trigger. I bought an 08 Crystal Red 3LT. Magnetice ride a must if you live in the Northeast because of pot holes with The performance exhaust(this is a must option with the mild to wild remote,repeat a must option) This exhaust note is incredible but my neighbors are not liking it at night. and I got zo6 replica chrome wheels and red painted calipers. in a little over a month I have put 900 miles on it because I always want to drive it.

  • Dont wait any longer - 2008 Chevrolet Corvette

    This is my first Vette. The quality and workmanship put into this car is the best and worth the price. Gas mileage at 65mph is 24 miles per gallon! The performance is unsurpassed. Dont wait any longer, for this car is truly an American classic. You cant beat the quality, price, and performance.

  • Paddle shifter - 2008 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    This car is fantastic. This is our second Corvette and we like them so much we kept our 2001 for me and this one is hers. I am ussually a M-6 guy but this A-6 is plenty quick. The paddle shifters are way too slow and if you pull down instead of up you will overrev the engine quick. I think they are worthless and should have just left the selecter on the floor. We bought the crystle red metalic vette and it is georgous.

  • A true all around sports car - 2008 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    For years I didnt seriously consider the Vette due to the "gold chain" image and cheap looks. The looks and performance of the C6 got my attention and the 08 improvements really got me thinking. I finally took the plunge and bought an 08 JSB/Cashmere car w/ 6sp and 2LT. You cant help but smile when you nail the throttle, hear that big V8 scream, and feel the tires fighting for traction. I came from Porsches mostly but I have owned something from about every sports car manufacturer. My most recent was an 02 911 Cabrio. I have to say that this is my favorite of anything Ive owned. GM has done a magnificent job and no excuses are necessary. Drive one and youll understand!

  • Wow, No, Wow - 2008 Chevrolet Corvette

    Unbeliveable. Never another import. This Corvette blew them away. Steering,ride and all out raw power. I can never see me ever owning another sports car. Drive it every day. Great mileage for a true American sports car.

  • Awesome car and value - 2008 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    Awesome ride. In hind sight, Id probably go with less options. Nav and XM radio are nice, but not why I bought the car. A portable nav is easier to operate and less expensive, save the money and get the nicer wheels. The (npp) bi-modal exhaust is very cool and with the wild to mild aftermarket kit, you can select it whenever you want to. Paddleshift aut is nice, but again Id probably save the money next time and get the 6 spd manual. The hud is something you become dependent on, unfortunately its only available with the 3lt upgrade. 25 mpg driving it with zeal. You only live once, live it in the fast lane.

    3LT paddle shift NPP exhaust and NAV. If I were to buy this car today, Id leave the Nav, and automatic trans off the build sheet. The NPP exhaust is a must, a portable gps is cheaper and easier to use and the 6 speed manual is a bit more fun. the money you save can go towards a new valentine1 radar detector. The hud is something youll miss after using it for a week, so the 3lt is the only way to go. Awesome car!

  • A Dream Come Thrue - 2008 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    I love this car, this is my dream car. Black 2008 Z06 with 3LZ pack, chrome wheels and Navigation system. It is everything I was expecting and more. A well and improved Corvette compared with the previous ones. A car in the mid $70,000 and capable of competing with the high prices cars like Porshe ect. The American auto industry is raising the bar with this car. I was shopping between all the new cars and I am very happy with my decision. The power in this car is unbelievable but at the same time it give you all the technology and accessories the perfect combination. I am using it as a daily driving car and no complaints at all. It making 16/28 MPG not bad for a 505 HP.

  • Well Folks youre right. - 2008 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    As I have read in these post and now the proud owner of an 08 coupe, all I can say is folks youre right. I only have 400 miles on it to date and that was 2 days worth on the road. From the beginning this vehicle has been nothing but a hit. Quick acceleration, fine curvy features, great paint, comfortable ride, hud. If your in the market for one. Please do yourself a favor. Buy.

  • Dream Car - 2008 Chevrolet Corvette
    By -

    I have finally purchased my life long dream car. I love this car and I would say the only thing I would do differently is improve the rearward visibility. The view through the rear glass looks a little fuzzy because of the curvature of the glass. I love the car and the performance is outstanding.
