The new, 6.2L LS3 small-block V-8 is the standard engine in
Coupe and Convertible models. It is rated at 430 horsepower (321
kW)* and 424 lb.-ft. of torque (586 Nm)* with the standard
exhaust system; with the new, optional two-mode exhaust system,
power ratings increase to 436 horses / 325 kW and 428 lb.-ft. /
592 Nm. As a result, the standard Corvette is true supercar,
capable of 190 mph. The LS3 with the six-speed paddle-shift
automatic is the fastest automatic-equipped Corvette ever, with
0-60 mph capability of 4.3 seconds.
The shifting efforts for both the six-speed manual
transmission and paddle-shift six-speed automatic transmissions
have been improved in ’08 Corvette models. The manual
transmission shifting improvements include a more positive and
direct feel during gear changes, with better gate-to-gate
location. The six-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission on
Coupe and Convertible is improved with new hardware and a new
controller calibration that deliver quicker shifts.
Also new on the 2008 Corvette are new wheel designs, a luxury
interior package and two new premium exterior colors. Returning
for ’08 is the Z06 ultra-performance model, which boasts 505
horsepower from its 7.0L V-8.
