The 2008 Chevrolet Corvette-
The 2008 Chevrolet Corvette receives a new LS3 6.2-liter V8 engine that produces 430 horsepower and 424 lb-ft of torque.
Info:Long an American icon, the current Corvette is also a world class, high-performance sports car. For the 2008 model year, a new LS3 6.2-liter V8 gives the Corvette an extra 30 horsepower and 24 lb-ft of torque. With the new mill cranking out 430 horsepower and 424 lb-ft of torque, you might assume a car with so much power would provide dismal fuel economy. You can't expect the gas mileage of a Toyota Corolla, but the Corvette's every-day supercar status grows when you learn the EPA estimates for an '08 manual-tranny version are an impressive 16 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway.
All new for 2008: An all-new LS3 6.2-liter V8 engine that produces 430 horsepower and 424 lb-ft of torque is standard for the 2008 Chevrolet Corvette coupe and convertible. Interior trim is updated including a wrapped center trim plate with Cyber pattern brushed aluminum accents and an available custom Leather-Wrapped Interior Package. Shift effort for the 6-speed manual transmission is improved and shift times are quicker for the paddle-shift 6-speed automatic. Standard wheels are a new split-spoke cast aluminum design and Competition Gray finish is optional. New exterior colors are Jetstream Blue Metallic Tintcoat and Crystal Red Metallic Tintcoat.
