The changes for Corvette in 2008 involve everything from an all-new, larger and more powerful V-8 engine to refinements
in driving characteristics that solidify the Corvette's position as the preeminent American sports car - and further the
argument that it is one of the world's best. There are also a host of exterior and interior refinements that raise the
Corvette's luxury status and enhance the feeling of craftsmanship.
"Corvette is an uncompromising sports car that rewards its owners with impeccable performance and great comfort," said Ed
Peper, Chevrolet general manager. "The changes and enhancements to the 2008 Corvette reflect continual improvements that
speak to Chevrolet's unflagging commitment to building the best sports car – and with nearly 55 years of experience, the
Corvette just keeps getting better and better."
Also back again for '08 is the 505-horsepower Corvette Z06, an American super car that has won over enthusiasts,
journalists and racers around the world for its balance of racetrack-bred performance, daily-driving civility and
value.
