Don't wait any longer
This is my first Vette. The quality and workmanship put into this car is the best and worth the price. Gas mileage at 65mph is 24 miles per gallon! The performance is unsurpassed. Don't wait any longer, for this car is truly an American classic. You can't beat the quality, price, and performance.
Sweet Ride
I have wanted a Corvette for along time now but never pulled the trigger. I bought an 08 Crystal Red 3LT. Magnetice ride a must if you live in the Northeast because of pot holes with The performance exhaust(this is a must option with the mild to wild remote,repeat a must option) This exhaust note is incredible but my neighbors are not liking it at night. and I got zo6 replica chrome wheels and red painted calipers. in a little over a month I have put 900 miles on it because I always want to drive it.

Owner
I have always wanted a Corvette, as most men. I finally made the big decision last year, with no regrets. This is an awsome machine. Driving the vehicle is totally off the chain, I want to drive it all the time. The only improvement that I would recommend is the console between the seats. This area can be improved, my wife has some great ideas on this.
Bang for the Buck
First time owner '08 3LT, Z51, dual mode exhaust, with Nav, etc., crystal red. I liked the C5 styling, but the C6 is so much better without popup headlights. Performance at this price point is amazing. The ride with the optional Z51 suspension is still very smooth, yet taut. Dual mode exhaust sounds simply awesome when you punch it in the guts, and adds a bit more power to boot. And who knew that a car capable of nearly 190 mph could get 25-30 mpg when driven normally. Amazing. And the trick integration of the HUD with the nav unit is super cool. I have very few negative things to say about this car. It's a keeper.
Awesome performance vehicle
Having have many performance German vehicles in the past (BMW E46 M3 was my last), there is no substitute for displacement. The torque on takeoff always puts a smile on my face. I love the NPP exhaust which I recommend to anyone as a must have. This car is a tremendous deal for the price that will spank many cars costing 2-3 times more. Also, to increase the HP to over 500 is relatively cheap compared to German or Italian cars.
'08 3lt, auto
Wow! This care is awesome to say the least. Pound for pound the best American performance sports car ever built. The look, power, handling, daily driveablity, interior features and pricing says it all. I finally have my dream car and there are only a few carnal pleasures that trump driving this machine. The dual mode exhaust is so cool, sounds like afterburners on a jet and the power is like riding in a rocket. HUD display is unique and a must have. Paddle shift and magnetic select ride features allow the driver to have two cars in one. Interior is luxurious enough for the real sports car enthusiast.
Glad I sprung for the 4LT
When I ordered the 4LT package I was a bit skeptical, but after seeing the Linen first hand and feeling the difference in comfort and support alone compared to the 3LT or below I'd definitely say it was worth it. The only compliant is actually not even the cars fault, and that is the tire roar at highway speeds with the run flats. I've driven the last 3 generations of Vettes and this is by far the most advanced.
Running well
I bought my 08 Z06 used in 2014 with 24k miles on it. Kept it stock over the years, so far the biggest challenge was resolving dead batteries. I had to invest in a Battery Tender to fix the issue. Aside from that I had all four TPMS replaced when the car hit 10 years old. The sensors were starting to go, honestly could care less for the technology but it triggers an annoying dummy light. Anyway I love the car and now it’s paid off with summer coming soon. I’ve driven it across country and love the comfort too. I’m not tall at 5’9 but this was a breeze to drive across Texas and up to Kansas, mileage is now 38k. I’ll say the one minor criticism is the cheap front chin spoiler. I destroyed the first one on a low curb, replaced it and ruined another one. I’m content with no chin spoiler. Hope this helps

Love my 2008 Z06. It’s and amazing car the power and handling is truly spectacular. It’s a bit costly on gas but it is after all a v8 pushing 505 hp. Drive it….it’s amazing. I’m a bit concerned about the potential “valve drop issue”.

My Garage Queen
I like everything about this car. I can deal with the cup holders being medium size. Lol. I have own the car for seven years, and always enjoy the ride, and driving it. I recently added a Corsa Cat Back Exhaust System. I enjoy it even more than ever now. It looks, and performs better than when I purchased it. It’s a High Velocity Yellow, 3LZ package. I mainly enjoy it on the weekends, and at Car Shows. It’s the sweetest, fastest car I’ve owned. I have been totally satisfied with this vehicle.

An absolute monster
Picked up a used 08 C6 Indy 500 pace car in manual coupe. Car makes 436 hp and looks amazing on the inside. Car is super fun to drive and the ls3 sounds like heaven on earth. If you have the chance, highly recommend getting one.

430-PUSH YOU BACK IN YOUR SEAT HORSE-POWER
Bought the car with 25k I asked my son-in-law, a dealership mechanic, if I should get the Warranty. He said, "No, It's a brand new car!" Just got 40k service. Everything is a little more expensive with a 'Vette, 4-Wheel alignment was $119, which I thought was very reasonable. Love those Z-Rated tires (140 mph) Update on 2-28-24. Just hit 40K miles. Had an interview with Karl Donaldson. He has a YouTube channel for Corvette lovers: Fully Vetted. Check out my interview! This winter has been warmer. I made a Trickle Charger to plug into the cigar lighter. Only used it for about a month. I have had the car out about 10 times since Thanksgiving.

Black Beauty
We love the classic beauty of this car, the shine from the exterior and chrome rims really makes it pop! We have put it four car shows and we won first place for class every time. The drive is something to enjoy, you never want to stop. Everyone that comes in contact with loves the car. It’s a black car and the plate says “BKBEAUT”. Very fitting name we think.

z06 vette
It may drop a valve, mostly the exhaust valves have dropped on a few, but the controversy rages on about that
