I purchased this 2008 "VETTE" new in January 2010 for $49000.00. It's a LS3-Z51-CONVERTIBLE- with all the "BELL'S & WHISTLE'S. IT'S FAST-TOP SPEED IS 190+MPH. It has excellent acceleration, braking and handling. No repairs,squeaks or rattles at this time. As for as appearance and styling-IT's a "CORVETTE CONVERTIBLE" What more can I say other than, It's FUN to DRIVE

SOLD Like Harley the Corvette was Killed twice and brought back from the dead. (The new C7 is the latest to come back from the dead and in my opinion GM over designed the Transformer looking car with the Camaro rear end.But this is not a C7 review. The C6 will be my last Corvette. It does everything well. Especially the 08+ with the improvements I find the car comfortable and at 58 getting in and out without damaging the bolster s a breeze. I dont track the car so i have no opinion there except that I am sure the car will out do my driving skills. The power and torque is great when needed. It moves from 50-90 in a blink of an eye. I would only own this car as a convertible because two seat vehicles IMO should be convertibles. I have after market BlueTooth via GMs Pal system and an aftermarket PAL 2 which puts the BT and Ipod unit behind the waterfall where the XM radio circuit box is instead of in the dash behind the stock radio. MUCH better. This is my second Corvette in a year. I had an 05 earlier this year and liked it well enough but it was a manual and I prefer the Paddle Shifting Auto. I looked for and found an 08 with low miles from a private first owner. (Dealers are out of their minds with their prices) The 08 brings 36 more horses to the table with the LS3 engine. The auto transmission is slushy except when using the paddle shifters where it tightened up a little. But I am not aggressive so that does not bother me. Hell I drive it like a Lincoln The factory tires are crap and at 16k miles I am replacing them early.. They are original and hardened and the road noise reflect that. I will be putting on non Run Flats soon for a smoother ride. I have AAA. Many more tire centers will deal with a normal tire. Many wont fix run flats and most dont have them in stock If a tire is needed the car is down. Service is fair as there are Corvette Specialists at MB Chevy where I take it for oil changes and tire. Many common repairs are expensive on this car. Harmonic balancer and fuel pump sender could cost $2000 to fix. An oil Pan gasket cost me $800+ to replace. I never felt the car would hold up and stay reliable. The electronics are extreme and gremlins are common as well. Heck Car and Drivers review 2014 C7 car blew an engine as have a few owners in the Corvette Forums. GMs and dealers response to those issues is not inspiring. So if you want to drive a fast car for little money, Not too many cars can compete with the 08 Corvette. But buy used first or second owner car with lots of records and original parts and put aside a slush fund for repairs. I am moving to a Miata for reliability and a more genuine roadster experience.

430 hp, it was fast, but got loose on sandy patches.

Purchased slightly used with one prior owner. Very low mileage and in great condition. Will use as a pleasure driver so the mileage should remain low. The C6 Corvettes have not changed very much from model year to model year so a 2008 -09 -10 are all pretty much the same.
