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.

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

No car better! - 2008 Chevrolet Corvette
By Conrad - December 29 - 10:58 pmIm 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 pmI 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 pmThis 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!

What a beast! - 2008 Chevrolet Corvette
By Cokernut - December 1 - 3:55 pmI finally pulled the trigger when Chevy had the employee pricing. I couldnt be happier with the car. The acceleration is breathtaking. The lines of the car are sharp and a real eye catcher. My only complaint on this beast is the stereo sound system. For $70K put a good sound system in. I purchased the atomic orange Z06 and it accelerates like an atomic bomb and the roar of the exhaust is better than the stereo anyways. I have owned a 1990 Vette and the technology now is just unbelievable especially the Z06. Am I happy with the car, heck yes.

Like riding a wild bear - 2008 Chevrolet Corvette
By Randude - November 12 - 11:38 pmIt is a privilage and pleasure to own and drive a 2008 "Crystal Red" 427 special edition Z06 Corvette. I thought seriously about buying a Nissan GTR, but after seeing the GTR in person, I felt it remined me of a fancy Nissan Altima with new fenders. The engine sounded tame and boring. It just didnt excite me much. In contrast, just standing near the Z06 Corvete and looking at it, makes your heart race. I fell in love with this sexy beast from the moment it rumbled to life with a push of the button. The car looks twice in good in person as it does in pictures and sounds beautiful. Its incredibly fun to drive, and I have to beat the girls away from it. I absolutly love it.

Go buy one today! - 2008 Chevrolet Corvette
By Matt - November 11 - 11:33 amIve been looking to buy a new Corvette for about 3 months. With GM reporting a sales decrease of 45% for October, I knew now was the time to pull the trigger. I bought the machine silver 2008 convertible with titanium interior and a black top. It looks great in the garage and I smile everytime I open the garage door. Absolutely no buyers remorse. The only reason I gave the interior design a 9 is because I cant plug my MP3 into the stereo... whats that all about? The NPP dual mode exhaust is cool as hell and the magnetic selective ride rocks. If youre thinking at all about buying one of these, dont wait any longer. Nows the time do get a great deal on a great American sports car.

Wow! - 2008 Chevrolet Corvette
By Paul - August 24 - 7:36 amI had an M3 ten years ago which was the benchmark for me for purchasing a new sports car. The Corvette handles as well as the M3 with an enormous amount of power. I still cant wipe the smile off of my face everytime I drive this car.

Simply awesome - 2008 Chevrolet Corvette
By dsinned - August 20 - 5:14 pm427 cubes of modern day small block, push rod V8 engine technology is a wonderful thing! I never thought it would happen in an age of hybrids and ever greener emission standards. The Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is the best of all worlds. Big time muscle car performance, yet still docile and comfortable enough for every day commuting. It dont get much better than this! Corvette still rules as Americas #1 favorite sports car. Thank you Chevrolet!
