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.

  Neck Snapping Fast - 2008 Chevrolet Corvette
  By 1st Corvette - December 11 - 2:39 pm

  I have only owned sports cars, and this is the fastest car I have ever owned. Had several Mustangs, Porsches, and now my first Chevrolet. The 6.2 litre is has more horsepower than most will be able to handle. This car could break the tires loose in 4th gear. I almost didnt purchase the car because I thought the interior was kind of cheap looking. But I have adjusted. Car sounds good! Who doesnt like an American V8. Had some issues with heated seats, headlight, and stereo is subpar.

  Absolutely love this car - 2008 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Jeffrey - November 7 - 11:54 pm

  Purchased an Atomic Orange Z-51 4LT with all the options. This car is absolutely fantastic. Sticks to the road like the tires are glued down. Gas mileage is unbelievable for a car with 436 hp. I use the cruise control a lot to improve the mileage, and often find myself getting in the low 30s, until I get up past 60 mph, when it drops down to 28 to 29 mpg. No other car with this much power, comfort, and performance can compare. I get compliments about my car everywhere, even while sitting at stop lights. Reliability has been absolutely superb (do you hear that Consumer Reports???).

  My Best Corvette Yet (Number 8) - 2008 Chevrolet Corvette
  By K7XB - October 22 - 10:56 am

  This 2008 Corvette ZO6 is the second ZO6 Ive owned...and by far the best. Back in 68 I had another 427 Corvette but it sure didnt have the performance of this new one. Looks like GM now knows how to transfer all 505 hp to the road. Good job guys! Super car this ZO6.

  Wow - 2008 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Ted - September 27 - 10:09 am

  I now have this car almost 2 years with only 1 minor issue. The trunk release from outside the car(by the rear plate)dont work. Besides that no other issues. This car is awesome, with incredible power. Its also very comfortable even on long trips. Im always looking for an excuse to drive because of the fun of this machine.

  Best Vette since the 67 - 2008 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Marc - June 8 - 10:13 am

  This is my first Vette since my 1969 convertible. The performance is exceptional. The aerodynamics are well engineered, the car actually feels like its attached to the road - extremely solid and smooth on the highway. Low end torque is so powerful that you never have to rev the engine past 2200 RPM if you dont want to. The shift linkage is very smooth and short coupled. Steering wheel controls are unnecessary because the stereo and HVAC dash controls are perfectly position right above your hand when on the shifter. The panel is a throw back to the 63-67 series, my favorite. Im 62 and I absolutely love every minute I spend in this car, its a delight to own and drive.

  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!
