Vehicle Description
Owning an example of any new generation of Corvette brings with it
a sense of pride and excitement. Each generation has its own kind
of personality and charisma to it, and this 2008 Chevrolet Corvette
3LT is no exception. The inaugural year for the new LS3 V-8, this
one-owner C6 comes to us with just 42,723 actual miles on its
odometer and decked out in its original Crystal Red Metallic paint.
With its body-colored targa top on or off, this 3LT allows its
driver and passenger to enjoy the luxurious side of Chevy's iconic
halo car.
Inside, we find a decadent Cashmere leather interior featuring dual
power and heated bucket seats that provide lumbar support. Thanks
to the available Memory Package, the vehicle remembers settings for
the driver's seat, mirrors, and steering wheel column angle. Just
ahead of the power-telescoping steering wheel sits a six-pod gauge
cluster, highlighted by a large 7,000 rpm tachometer and a matching
200 mph speedometer, both flanked by two auxiliary gauges on either
side. If you don't want to take your eyes off the road, then the
Heads-Up Display will come in handy. Add to that the built-in
navigation system, power everything, and a premium seven-speaker
AM/FM/CD Bose stereo, and you have a sports car that is ready to
cruise comfortably for as long as you are.
Under that signature front-hinged hood, we find a 6.2-liter LS3 V-8
engine. From the factory, the LS3 produced an impressive 430
horsepower and 424 pound-feet of torque, an increase of 30 hp and
24 lb-ft over the previous year's LS2. That power is routed through
a rear-mounted Tremec 6060 six-speed manual transmission, which is
another upgrade for 2008 over its predecessor's T56 unit. Those
ponies are transferred to the pavement via a 3.42-geared transaxle
before a set of ten-spoke 19-inch factory wheels shod in big
285/35ZR-19 Michelin tires tackle the tarmac. Up front, a staggered
set of 18-inch wheels wrapped in 245/40ZR-18 rubber benefit from an
upgraded Magnasteer variable-effort rack-and-pinion, improving
on-center feel, precision, and feedback, making it another notable
feature new to the 2008 Corvette.

independent suspension with transverse composite springs and shocks
