427 cubes of modern day small block, push rod V8 engine technology is a wonderful thing! I never thought it would happen in an age of hybrids and ever greener emission standards. The Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is the best of all worlds. Big time muscle car performance, yet still docile and comfortable enough for every day commuting. It don't get much better than this! Corvette still rules as America's #1 favorite sports car. Thank you Chevrolet!
BEAST MODE!!!

I love this car, this is my dream car. Black 2008 Z06 with 3LZ pack, chrome wheels and Navigation system. It is everything I was expecting and more. A well and improved Corvette compared with the previous ones. A car in the mid $70,000 and capable of competing with the high prices cars like Porshe ect. The American auto industry is raising the bar with this car. I was shopping between all the new cars and I am very happy with my decision. The power in this car is unbelievable but at the same time it give you all the technology and accessories the perfect combination. I am using it as a daily driving car and no complaints at all. It making 16/28 MPG not bad for a 505 HP.

I purchased my first Vette ever(Red 2008 Z06). I traded a 07 BMW 335i (I miss it by the way). The Z06 feels very fast and safe. Ggreat handling, great brakes, fat tires, low to the ground, super wide, etc. The looks of this car is just unbelievable. The regular Vette looks so plain and simple compared to the fat fender z06. This car is a real challenge for Ferrari, Porsches, Lamborghinis, you name it. This car screams on the highway, the sound of the engine is spectacular. It makes you want to go to the garage and just start up the car so that you can hear the engine. This car is a perfect sport coupe with a huge trunk (best on its class)
Bought used 2008 Z06, owned it for 5 years.

I bought the car in 2014 with 27,000 miles on it as the second owner. Color: silver (still looks great in 2019 - no rust). All stock, previous owner only added the ZR1 spoiler from that era, tinted the windows, and had a clear scotch guard bra applied. Tires and brakes are expensive. Easily spent $1500 on tires and now it’s time to do the brakes. Reliability: I’ve had two issues with the tire pressure sensors. Note: sensors only have a shelf life of 10 years. Get them replaced for $60-$80 at Discount Tire. The driver side door handle also froze up and refused to open. I had to pull the manual cable under the seat: cost $400. Batteries 🤦♂️: so this car has a notorious issue with killing batteries when left parked for over a week. I killed two batteries before buying the Battery Tender $30 value. I’ve driven the car across country in mid summer and clocked 31 mpg two years in a row now; the car passed 40k miles in June of 2019. People aren’t buying corvettes for fuel economy but man what a surprise for a 7.0 liter V8. I had the trunk full and A/C on as outside temps were 80-90 degrees between central Texas to Kansas. The engine and transmission have had no issues but as stated before electronics are beginning to have problems. One last issue,GM’s tracking an issue with the digital clock in the radio. The clock disappeared after the second battery was replaced. Still waiting GMs patch, good thing I have a wrist watch. Update July 2020. Sold. While the engine and transmission ran fine, electronics continued to fail. GM gremlins froze windows down, headlights were showing signs of rain water inside the housing,
