Chevrolet Corvette 2008

The Top Five Reasons I Bought This Corvette for Our Garage—and Why You Might Want It in Yours

1. The killer LS3 V8

Its naturally aspirated 6.2-litre LS3 produces 430 horsepower  (438 with NPP) and is paired with the six-speed automatic transmission. It delivers strong performance while remaining smooth and economical for longer-distance touring.

2. Factory NPP Performance Exhaust

The desirable dual-mode NPP exhaust gives the LS3 a more purposeful voice when the throttle opens while remaining civilized during ordinary driving. It is one of the factory options that materially improves the Corvette experience.

3. An exceptional interior

The Ebony and Cobalt Red leather interior transforms the presentation of this Corvette. Combined with the Black exterior and chrome wheels, it creates a distinctive specification that becomes more impressive when seen in person.

4. Desirable 3LT equipment

The upgraded 3LT package gives this Corvette the comfort and convenience expected in a genuine grand-touring sports car:

• Head-Up Display

• Heated power seats

• Driver memory

• Bose premium audio

• Dual-zone automatic climate control

• Removable roof panel

• Staggered 18-inch front and 19-inch rear chrome wheels

• Keyless access and push-button start

5. Clean, documented history

The CARFAX reports no accidents or damage and shows nine service records, including extensive early servicing by Chevrolet dealerships. Before offering this Corvette for sale, we installed new brakes and replaced the harmonic balancer. Our preparation also includes thorough road-testing, an independent inspection, checking or replacing the fluids and filters as required, and on delivery, Ontario Safety Certified included. 

The 2008 Corvette is famous for introducing the larger 6.2-litre LS3 engine to the C6. Powerful, durable and relatively straightforward to maintain, the LS3 is widely regarded as one of Chevrolet’s finest modern naturally aspirated V8s. 

With 115,904 kilometres, this is a Corvette its next owner can use without treating every added kilometre as a financial event. Remove the roof, let the NPP exhaust bring the LS3 to life and take the road that makes the trip longer. It offers the kind of sound, colour and performance that can turn an ordinary drive into something anticipated all week.

Black, Cobalt Red leather, 3LT, LS3 and NPP—this is a particularly appealing C6 combination for the buyer who wants something distinctive enough to admire, but usable enough to enjoy regularly.
