190 mph The 2008 Corvette reaches 60 mph in 4.3 seconds and has a top speed of 190 mph, GM says.
Enthusiast mags have routinely clocked the Z06 going from 0-60 mph in 3.7-3.9 seconds, and its top speed is quoted at nearly 200 mph.
In short, the 2008 Chevrolet Corvette can serve equally well as a comfortable touring car or world-class performance machine, while the Z06 version is simply a monster on the street that is still docile enough to serve as one’s daily driver.
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.
Top speed is 198 MPH. For 2008, the Corvette received a mild freshening: a new LS3 engine with displacement increased to 6.2 L (380 cu in), resulting in 430 bhp (321 kW) and 424 lbft (575 Nm) (436 bhp (325 kW) and 428 lbft (580 Nm) if ordered with the optional performance exhaust.
Genuine excitement (whether or not you see it through the hood) comes in varying degrees from every 2009 Chevrolet Corvette powertrain. The base 430-horsepower 6.2-liter LS3 V-8 Vette coupe tops out at 190 mph and can run from 0-60 mph in 4.1 seconds (manual six-speed) or 4.3 ticks (automatic six-speed).
Used 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Pricing The 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 carries a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of just over $72,000 .
Which Is Better, LS3 or LS7? The LS7 is better if you want a high power output, where it gives you 505-horsepower. With improvements, you can achieve more power, around 570-hp. The LS3 is also great in power output, though, at 430-horsepower, it is lower than the LS7.

All three Corvettes are spectacularly fast. The base model goes from zero to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds and hits 100 mph in 9.0 seconds. The Z06 needs just 3.6 and 8.3 seconds for the same tasks, while the ZR1 hits 60 mph in 3.4 seconds and 100 mph in a stellar 7.6 seconds.
