2008 Chevrolet Corvette Reviews, Pricing & Specs

The C6 Corvette is now at a bargain price. The C7s are actually appreciating a little bit. The performance bang for your buck with the C6 is really high.

If your looking for good looks with LOTS of power this is the car. Remove the top for near vert experience! 0-60 in only 4.0 sec. 6 spd manual is mandatory for this car. With Z51 pkg can add additional exicitement for handling. As a major benefit MPG is awesome!

I can't say anything bad about the 08 Vette. I wanted the dual mode exhaust, a $1200 option but was disappointed with it. You get a little more sound on start up and if you go over 3500 RPMs. Last wseek I found a product called mild to wild on EBay. About $100 and another $50 to have it installed. It comes with a remote that allows you to switch from closed to full time open any time you want to. Now it sounds like a Corvette should. I never turn it off. I got the car in October 08 and drove it mostly on weekends. Now you can't get me out of the car. The car looks great, performs great and now it sounds great. If you have dual mode, get this kit.

FAST!!! Just swapped out of a Silver 07 for the Red 08. Great everyday supercar that can compete with some of todays top Italian and German sportscars. They have improved the interior significantly which was a big problem for past Vettes. Only upgrade I would make is an exhaust so you can really hear the power.

505 HP and she loves to be driven hard. 3rd gear will easily do 100+

I had this car for a while in Hawaii and loved every second of it

the all new LS3 6.2 liter small block pumps out 30 more hp than the previous model bringing it to 430hp, which is easy to feel. You can feel the pin you to the seat acceleration all the way into the triple digits while the crossdrilled brake rotors effectively bring you to a stop in a more than timely fashion. The interior is black and red leather, which draws compliments every time i drive it. I have yet to find any other stock car that will run with it, save a Z06. The overall fee of the car is amazing. Chevy really put some time into the mid-production changes. Every one of them was just in the right place.

Love the speed and handling. Could use better quality materials inside. reliable car though for how exotic it is. Gas mileage is also better than expected for a car with this much power and performance. Would definitely recommend this vehicle to someone looking for raw power.

I've bought my 2008 ZO6 off the showroom floor in May 2009, and currently have just over 8,000 miles on her. Can't say enough nice things about it. It goes like hell and is a ball to drive. The only area I'd like to see improvement is the sound dampening, still a lot of road noise, especially on worn concrete interstate roads. On new blacktop it's an absolute dream.

Z51, 3LT Titaniaum/ebony interior, competition grey wheels, Z06 spoiler, Orange FRC's, ECS Paxton SC600 Supercharger Kit, Speed Density Tune, American Racing 1 7/8" Headers and best of all.... 28-30 MPG Highway... Granted no the best for IKEA trip and grocery hauling, amazing to drive plus the top comes off!

2009 Corvette LT2 LS3 motor 6 speed manual 7000 miles Like a new car

The power train is definitely the best of the older Generations. The interior is reasonable, but I personally like the 2001-2004 era as a personal preference.

i got a regular coupe. but this thing is loaded. got the duel mode exhaust.(a must)magnetic ride. (smooth) the bose stero system. (kicks ass) its automatic so the old lady can drive it. (she loves it) and it's got paddle shift if i want to get crazy.(it is crazy) never liked red cars but i got this crystal red metallic (it's an awesome color , really deep)

This is why I love my ZO6 Corvette: LS7 7.0-liter / 427-cubic-inch 505 horsepower at 6200 rpm 475 lb.-ft. of torque at 4800 rpm 7100 rpm redline Titanium connecting rods-intake valves Dry-sump engine lubrication system Engine hand-built at GM’s Wixom Performance Build Center Composite & carbon-fiber body panels Hydroformed aluminum frame Aluminum and magnesium structural chassis components 0 to 60 in 3.7 seconds Top speed of 198 mph Weight 3160 lbs. Front brakes: six-piston calipers; six individual brake pads Back brakes; four-piston calipers; four individual brake pads Cross-drilled rotors Stopping: 60-0 in 114 feet Priced under 80,000 USD

i have driven them all and owned half of them. this car is raw power and sex appeal that is best controlled with an angry right foot. cars, like women, have qualities and attributes that are subjectively measured. but there is no denying that the Z06 must be universally respected. in the right hands there isn't a car made that it won't put it the rearview mirror. notes: save some money for rubber and moving violations.

Very fast and fun, 80,000 dollor race car.

a few steps closer to a Z06 at a less cost; there is really nothing else to compare it to short of a jumped up Volkswagen all Porsche are or a French (Bugatti) or Italian (Ferrari, Lambourghini) truck;

I love this car...... It looks great, goes like stink, can pull 1.8G in a corner, is faster and handles better than most production Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Porches and comes in at one third the price of the nearest equivalent Ferrari.... with the added bonus that people love the Corvette. I get so many comments and people taking pictures.... Not many Ferrari or Lambo drivers get that! Its also 1 of only 20 Z06s on the road in the UK... exclusivity or what!

I like the power and the handling of the road. the car make you feel like youre in control of the road.

I have the base model with 'only' 430 horses, but oh my gosh this thing is quick. It might be the tires are worn, but with TC on, a bit of throttle and it fishtails all over the road. And with it off, well, let's just say I've been sideways more often than I can count. This ain't no Camry, you can't just slam the pedal down (unless you're aimed straight). In other words, I'm having a lot of fun. It looks great and the leather interior is really nice. I know there is too much interior plastic for some, but it doesn't bother me. I fixed the squeaky roof easily enough, but haven't found the other rattles. Mileage has been a respectable 21-25 MPG. Love it.

Truly a drivers car with 6 speed manual, loaded car with all options I wanted.

if you stay off the accelerator on the interstate, 28-30mpg is very realistic. of course, that isn't as fun as punching it past unsuspecting drivers - just pick your passing opportunities wisely or get ready for your local state troopers to rack up those license points.

SOLD Like Harley the Corvette was Killed twice and brought back from the dead. (The new C7 is the latest to come back from the dead and in my opinion GM over designed the Transformer looking car with the Camaro rear end.But this is not a C7 review. The C6 will be my last Corvette. It does everything well. Especially the 08+ with the improvements I find the car comfortable and at 58 getting in and out without damaging the bolster s a breeze. I dont track the car so i have no opinion there except that I am sure the car will out do my driving skills. The power and torque is great when needed. It moves from 50-90 in a blink of an eye. I would only own this car as a convertible because two seat vehicles IMO should be convertibles. I have after market BlueTooth via GMs Pal system and an aftermarket PAL 2 which puts the BT and Ipod unit behind the waterfall where the XM radio circuit box is instead of in the dash behind the stock radio. MUCH better. This is my second Corvette in a year. I had an 05 earlier this year and liked it well enough but it was a manual and I prefer the Paddle Shifting Auto. I looked for and found an 08 with low miles from a private first owner. (Dealers are out of their minds with their prices) The 08 brings 36 more horses to the table with the LS3 engine. The auto transmission is slushy except when using the paddle shifters where it tightened up a little. But I am not aggressive so that does not bother me. Hell I drive it like a Lincoln The factory tires are crap and at 16k miles I am replacing them early.. They are original and hardened and the road noise reflect that. I will be putting on non Run Flats soon for a smoother ride. I have AAA. Many more tire centers will deal with a normal tire. Many wont fix run flats and most dont have them in stock If a tire is needed the car is down. Service is fair as there are Corvette Specialists at MB Chevy where I take it for oil changes and tire. Many common repairs are expensive on this car. Harmonic balancer and fuel pump sender could cost $2000 to fix. An oil Pan gasket cost me $800+ to replace. I never felt the car would hold up and stay reliable. The electronics are extreme and gremlins are common as well. Heck Car and Drivers review 2014 C7 car blew an engine as have a few owners in the Corvette Forums. GMs and dealers response to those issues is not inspiring. So if you want to drive a fast car for little money, Not too many cars can compete with the 08 Corvette. But buy used first or second owner car with lots of records and original parts and put aside a slush fund for repairs. I am moving to a Miata for reliability and a more genuine roadster experience.

430 hp, it was fast, but got loose on sandy patches.

I can sum it up really (Fast). Fastest car I've ever driven. I feel like a king driving this race car. All heads turn when they see the Crystal Red Metallic Tintcoat and Cashmere interior.

C6 are nice cars, still a little plain on the inside Z06 would be my pick in the c6 generation

Purchased slightly used with one prior owner. Very low mileage and in great condition. Will use as a pleasure driver so the mileage should remain low. The C6 Corvettes have not changed very much from model year to model year so a 2008 -09 -10 are all pretty much the same.

very fast but when i drove it the roads were salty so i didnt get traction with it but it was still fun
