The 2008 Corvette is a carryover from 2007. Improved torsional rigidity and handling, and a reasonable price, make it the absolute bargain of performance sports cars (although its price has been rising over the past two years). Clearly, then, the changes have made a huge improvement in the Chevy's handling. This affordable muscle car also has a six-speed manual transmission and four-wheel disc antilock brakes. Speed is what the Z06 was designed for.
Chevy engineers tell us they sought to eliminate the little imperfections and potential dis-satisfiers that sports car customers formerly had to accept. For a major upgrade, though, it's necessary to order the 4LT package, which includes stitched two-tone leather on the instrument panel and doors. All models get interior trim enhancements-a wrapped center trim plate, new doorsill plates, and brushed aluminum accents are the biggies. The ZR1 Corvette is new but could you sit in one? The car includes larger wheels (18-inch in front, 19-inch in rear) topped by dramatic fender forms, with a crisp and tapered rear deck and fascia that support improved high-speed performance.
Cars can now be ordered through selected Chevrolet dealerships. Of the commonly available fuels, including gasoline, diesel and natural gas, it is the only one eligible for tax rebates. If all the 2008 Corvette offered was acceleration, braking and handling equal to high-dollar exotics, it would still be the darling of car buffs everywhere. The new Corvette Z06 is that model, with a 7 liter engine.
The 6.2 liter LS2 V8 produces 400 hp at 6000 rpm and 400 ft lbs of torque. The number of available options on the new car is limited, in order to save as much weight as possible. Standard wheels are a new split-spoke cast aluminum design and Competition Gray finish is optional.
The Corvette is what it is and always has been: a 2 seat American sports car. The Corvette Z06 is capable of accelerating from 0-60 mph in 3. Everything is sensed through the steering wheel.
The 2007 Corvette is a 2-door, 2-commuter sports car, or convertible sports car, present in 7 trims, ranging from the Coupe LT1 to the Z06 LZ2. In the front you notice the large grill that adds some character to the car. The Corvette Z06 is a true supercar for a price that's merely expensive, as opposed to insanely expensive. Even so, the Corvette's tyranny still lags behind the top sporting automatics out there.
And in base or V trim, the XLR has an interior the Corvette's new-for-2008 optional interior package is only now beginning to approach for luxurious look and feel. In addition to being more pleasing to the eye, this also helps preserve the outstanding aerodynamic characteristics designed into the sixth-generation Corvette. Corvette ZR1 chief engineer Tadge Juechter recently sat down to participate in a live chat on GM Next to answer questions about Chevy's new supercar, with topics ranging from fuel-economy to production numbers.
If we don't have it and it can be had we will obtain it for you. Driven sanely, it can deliver pretty good mileage, too, up to 28 mpg highway by the EPA's formula, better than most SUVs. Chevrolet uses pushrod engines for a reason: they are less complicated (less crap to break) and a more compact engine design. Wider rear fenders with flares cover the massive rear tire s, while a rear spoiler both houses the central high mounted stop light and provides sufficient down force to balance the front splitter without adversely affecting aerodynamic drag.
In addition to achieving speeds of nearly 200 miles per hour, the car will also be capable of changing colors from green, blue, gold and yellow. It was impressive in its day, but is far overshadowed by contemporary engines. Stronger axle half-shafts with tougher universal joints transmit power to the rear wheels. All of the major user interfaces the hood, the doors, and the rear hatch.
