Technical highlights of this award-winning V8 include lightweight aluminum construction, Sequential Fuel Injection and Electronic Throttle Control. Horsepower is 350 at 5600 rpm. Choose between the high performance six-speed manual and the sophisticated, electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission that has more refinements this year. Innovative tradition with flexible sheet-molded composite body panels that will never rust and a balsa-wood core composite floor that is both lightweight and exceptionally strong. New for 2008 , the second-generation Active Handling System is standard on all models.

Reviewing dealers specs, Chevy Corvette photos, research, and Chevrolet Corvette history, reveals news nobody doubts. The already legendary LS1 2008 V8 engine shared with the convertible has been enhanced to provide more horsepower (now 350 hp) and low-end torque over a broader range for outstanding acceleration, with improved fuel economy for 2008 . And you may choose from a six-speed manual transmission or an electronically controlled four-speed automatic with more refinements this year. The exhilarating power of the LS1 V8 is completed by Corvette's sophisticated four-wheel independent suspension, variable effort Magnasteer, massive four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, Traction Control and Second-Generation Active Handling System all standard.

The 2008 Chevy Corvette purrs on the pavement, thanks to the classic LS1 engine by Chevrolet. Technical highlights of this award-winning V8 include lightweight aluminum construction, Sequential Fuel Injection and Electronic Throttle Control. Horsepower is 350 at 5200 rpm. Choose between the available high performance six-speed manual and the standard electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission. If you're interested in the 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, an L6 engine produces 405 horsepower at 6000 rpm, and is mated to a high performance six-speed manual transmission for the quickest, most powerful Corvette ever. Either way you look at it, you win. With this in mind, why not choose both?

All 2008 Chevrolet Corvette models include a number of internal and external features that dreams are made of. First, of course, is the Magnetic Selective Ride Control, which uses an electromagnetic coil to alter fluid consistency within the shock absorbers to instantly adjust damping for road surfaces and conditions. Next is the design - the 2008 Corvette Coupe, Convertible and Z06 models continue innovative tradition for Chevrolet with flexible sheet-molded composite body panels that will never rust and a balsa-wood core composite floor that is both lightweight and exceptionally strong. Finally comes the interior - standard Sport bucket seats with leather seating surfaces, inflatable lumbar support and adjustable side bolsters, and a dual-cove instrument panel with the traditional Corvette crossed-flags badging.

In the distinguished annals of Chevy Corvette history, the new and improved 2008 Chevrolet Corvette is the safest Corvette ever. Every 2008 Corvette is equipped with standard Active Handling, an advanced stability control system that provides nearly seamless operation and low intrusion in enthusiastic driving conditions. The Active Handling System activates when there is a significant difference between driver steering input and how the car is actually responding. Working together with the antilock brake system and Traction Control as needed, Active Handling automatically applies any one of the four brakes to help control the situation. Add this technology to the standard Corvette safety-cage construction, airbags, and front and rear crash zones, and you know you'll be styling and safe in your 2008 Chevrolet Corvette.
