The official unveiling is apparently set for this Saturday, April 28 at the C5/C6 Bash at the National Corvette Museum in BowlingGreen, but thanks to a poster at Digital Corvettes, you can get sneak preview of the 2008 Corvette and its LS3 V8 right now. The new mill is expected to pump out 430 horsepower, and the '08 Vette will also sport new 5-spoke wheels and interior tweaks, among other things. We’ll have to wait until the weekend for the full dog & pony show to go down, but one thing’s certain: the presence of 430 standard horsepower will only further cement the Corvette’s standing as an unbelievable performance value. Production of the LS3-powered Vettes is scheduled to start this week.
they will also have the option for a ZO6 style exhaust.
The LS3 is pretty old news at this point. But it’s still cool. I understand it’s going to have L92 style heads, so the power potential w/ a set of headers and a cam is pretty huge. The porno red isn’t new though, my buddy’s '07 has that (white exterior over that same interior). It looks a LOT better in person, but still is TOTALLY not for me.
son of a bitch! I just moved here last week from Clarksville, TN… which is like a 45 mins. drive from the ole corvette museum. I would have delayed moving to go and see that.
So if this one is coming out… what ever happened to the Z06R (aka Blue devil, SS, stingray, w/e the rumor is now that they are calling it)
the red interior is hideous. i dunno if i like the wheels or not. the car is just so luxory anymore, i dunno if i like it yet. I love the Z but the normal c6 looks weak to me, stock atleast. some agressive wheels with a lip really make it better for me, but i still prefer the c5 styling. the motor is def badass tho.
5 years is about normal anymore for a car run, they can design them a lot faster because of computer technology now. Also, I think the C4 alomst killed the vette because it lasted ~13 years (They weren’t selling good at the end, but the C5 fixed that!)
