Served up by a spirited Chevrolet team, the 2008 Chevrolet Corvette is truly a car you can admire. The car has been improved in stages over the years, and the team at Chevrolet has been slowly removing any chinks in the armor that this car may have with each passing year.

Traction control and engine immobilizer are two of the great safety and security features offered on this year’s Corvette.

2007 Chevrolet Corvette

For 2007, Chevrolet kept with what works best for the Corvette.

The engine is mounted low in the chassis with a dry-sump oil system that ensures proper lubrication during periods of performance and acceleration. Titanium connecting rods instead of steel were introduced to further reduce the reciprocating weight inside the block, affording increase in rev and power potential while keep fuel-friendly vices intact.

In a momentous change, Chevrolet opted for a mostly aluminum body versus the steel body found on non-Z06 2007 Chevrolet Corvette coupes, providing a generous weight reduction companied with carbon fiber fenders make the 2007 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 one of the lightest yet most powerful sports cars in history.

Larger wheel tires were required to harness the power of the new Z06 engine.

2006 Chevrolet Corvette

2006 saw the greatest change to the Corvette in years with the introduction of the extreme-performance package known as the Z06.

The 2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 comes with an absolutely massive 7.0L V-8 Engine that produces an astonishing 505HP that rockets the 3,100 pound monster to 60mph in only 3.8 seconds with a top speed of nearly 200MPH limited by the computer.

This Corvette is significantly faster than the competition, setting records and performance standards equal to a race car. The 2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 features a 6-speed manual, rear-wheel drive platform.

After reaching “supercar” status, it manages to still maintain over 26MPG on the highway; a feat that sets the unparalleled bar for the competition to equal up to the impeccable and notorious domination of the Chevrolet Corvette.

2005 Chevrolet Corvette

There is no vehicle, let alone sports car, more notorious than the Chevrolet Corvette, and for 2005 nothing but great changes are made.

A new suspension, visible headlamps, increased passenger room and a higher performing 6.0L V-8 engine round out the list of cosmetic and performing changes done to the 2005 Chevrolet Corvette.

Low drag and weight help this year’s Corvette to maintain its relatively good fuel economy, getting 26MPG on the highway which is an absolutely phenomenal feat for such a large V-8 engine while also out-performing virtually any sports car on the road today.

Traditional 2-seater styling with a rear-wheel-drive platform for enthusiasts and 6-speed manual option make the 2005 Chevrolet Corvette “the” sports car to have.
