Sports car enthusiasts will find the general spec, along with aesthetics, remarkable for their road trips or as a mark of prestige among their friends. Let's explore this sports car's features and specifications.

The 2008 Corvette’s specs

KBB

explains that the 2008 Corvette Z06 runs on a 7-liter LS7 V8 engine with a whopping 505 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. That’s pretty good horsepower for a

muscular sports car

. Its rpm and power are enhanced with racing-derived lightweight technology.

The convertible and coupe have lower-sized engines. Each trim runs on a 6.2-liter V8 engine that provides 430 horsepower and 424 lb-ft of torque. As stated by

Edmunds

, all trims come with a six-speed manual gearbox.

However, the coupe and convertible buyers can opt for a six-speed paddle-shift automatic gearbox.

Chevy also made the vehicle light to enhance its speed while reducing its drag. It has achieved this by using hydroformed aluminum perimeter frame rails instead of the standard welded steel components that you find in earlier Corvette models.

The 2008 Corvette interior and comfort features

The 2008 Corvette features various comfort and convenience features that enhance the riding experience. These salient features include dual-zone front climate control and interior air filtration for comfort.

It also has keyless ignition, speed-proportional power steering, and a tilt-adjustable steering wheel. In addition, car owners can hold items and cups in the front door pockets and cup holders. Leather upholstery comes standard with alloy and leather trim on the shift knob.

The 2008 Corvette also comes with stylish bucket front seats and a height-adjustable driver's seat, along with a four-way manual passenger seat adjustment. The car also has plenty of legroom in the front and back seats.

What’s the 2008 Corvette exterior design and price?

The two designs for the 2008 Corvette are the coupe and a

convertible supercar

. The Z06 is significantly more sculpted than the other trim levels. However, the interior dimensions are almost the same.

This two-door sports car comes with a rear spoiler and alloy wheels. The coupe and convertible models also have an optional two-mode performance exhaust system.

Many other outward features like the grille, mirrors, and hood look like the previous model. However, the model features split-spoke wheels as standard for all convertibles and coupes. The wheels are covered in a Sparkle Silver color with an option for Competition Gray.

At the time of launch, the 2008 Corvette sold for $45,170 for the base coupe, $53,520 for the convertible, and $70,175 for the Z06. According to

Edmunds

, used corvettes range from $20,000 to $45,000 depending on the maintenance.
