Owning an example of any new-generation Corvette brings with it a
sense of pride and excitement. Each generation has its own kind of
personality and charisma, and this 2008 Chevrolet Corvette 3LT is
no exception. In its inaugural year for the new LS3 V-8, this
stunning C6 comes to us with just 86,045 actual miles on its
odometer and decked out in its original gloss-black paint. With its
matching black power top up or down, 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 naturally
aspirated 6.2-liter LS3 V-8 engine. From the factory, the (then)
new 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 6L80E six-speed
automatic transmission. Those ponies are transferred to the
pavement via a 2.73-geared transaxle before a set of powder-coated
ten-spoke 19-inch factory wheels shod in big 285/35ZR-19 Goodyear
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.
