Vehicle Description
Victory Red is a popular color, but if you're like me and think
it's the only hue worthy of America's best sports car, then this
2008 Corvette has a lot to offer. Loaded with just about every
available option and with a miniscule 5,308 original miles, it's
the one to own if you like the C6.
Very few Corvettes are purchased new to become daily drivers;
they're all someone's lifelong dream and they live in heated
garages until the weather is just right to go out and play. That's
certainly the case with this awesome removable-roof coupe, which
looks as bold and vibrant today as it did on the showroom floor.
Victory Red looks spectacular on the sleek C6 Corvette bodywork and
if it's attention you crave, this car will deliver by the
truckload. By 2008, they pretty much had the Corvette factory in
Bowling Green, Kentucky dialed-in, and the cars coming out of there
have been extremely high quality for many years, because those guys
take a lot of pride in building America's finest sports car. This
one has doors that fit well, excellent gaps, and paint that looks
like it belongs on a far more expensive car. Even the nose hasn't
been sandblasted by gravel or scraped on steep driveways, and while
the tires are fairly sticky, the rocker panels look great. There's
just no way this Corvette looks over 10 years old.
The Corvette guys got with the program after years of automotive
writers complaining about the low-rent passenger compartments. With
high-end, sophisticated black leather, this Corvette interior looks
expensive and upscale and the seats are supportive and comfortable
without being confining. A technological tour-de-force, this
Corvette carries just about every option GM could throw at it,
including an extensive option package which offers a heads-up
display, Bose audio system, power telescoping steering wheel, dual
power heated seats, push-button start, power windows and locks, and
dual climate zones, just to name a few. A removable top means this
beauty can be driven on any occasion and with the spacious trunk,
you can carry the glass with you if the weather turns wrong. It's
all in excellent condition with extremely minimal wear and you'll
never get tired of watching the gauges do their dance every time
you key it up.
Remember when the ZR-1 had 405 horsepower and it was astounding?
Well, this 2008 C6 pulls 430 horsepower from its LS3 V8 and that's
how it came from the factory, complete with a warranty. The
LS-series of engines are quite modification-friendly, but this
Corvette remains completely stock, right down to the air cleaner,
and quite honestly, are you really going to use more than 430
horsepower on your commute to work? With bulletproof reliability
and a very tractable nature, this car is equally happy trundling
through rush-hour traffic or hammering the corners at the next open
track day. There's a lot of black plastic under the hood, but it
makes the engine bay look orderly and clean, and with proper
maintenance it'll run practically forever. The 6-speed automatic
transmission always seems to be in the right gear, and with a
towering overdrive, this Corvette pulls down remarkable fuel
economy on the open road. Powerful disc brakes live behind gorgeous
polished alloy wheels wearing 245/40/18 front and 285/35/19
Goodyear F1 performance radials.
Available for a fraction of its original price, this extremely
preserved Corvette offers big performance and all the right options
in a searing red package that never fails to stop traffic. Call
