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.

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

An Elephant in the Alps - 2008 Chevrolet Corvette
By Bill - September 3 - 6:00 amI got this car in place of a Porsche 911 S and believe me, this car is no Porsche. Its huge for a "sports car". A sports car is supposed to be small, powerful and nimble. The Vettes handling is comparable to an elephant trying to perform on the balance beam at the Olympics. Sure, I like the power under the hood. 30 horses with the dual mode exhaust sounds great, but thats about the only thing thats great on this car. After driving BMWs, Z cars, Porsches and even my Mercedes E350, I am very disappointed in the way this cars handing and appointments are for the money. Cant anyone in the U.S. build a "sports car" at least in the league of the afore mentioned. Pitiful.
