Chevy Reveals 2008 Corvette 427 Limited Edition Z06, Now With Red Metallic Paint
Oh god no — please Chevy, don't go down Mustang Road. We're really hoping Corvette's not heading down the same road as the Ford pony car — with random "limited-production" runs hitting the stage of random small-market auto shows. But then we see this number straight from the Ford playbook — the 2008 Corvette 427 Limited Edition Z06. This new 'vette, unveiled at the Cleveland Auto Show (we mean Cleveland rocks, but who knew?) is supposed to pay homage to the big-block Stingray from the mid-1960's with the "427" signifying the cubic-inch displacement of the biggest of the big-blocks offered between 1966 and 1969 and also happens to be the cubic-inch equivalent of the Z06's 7.0-liter small-block V8. Yup, nothing says big-block like big small blocks. But what else makes this here Z06 special? Nothing really. Well, not nothing, but can we really count Crystal Red Tintcoat paint? Yes, it may be the first Z06 ever offered with a red metallic tintcoat paint — but does it need it's own model to do it? Perhaps not. Full press release detailing all the new details — like "427" stitching on the seats and the fact they'll only build 505 of them (nice HP reference) with only 427 of them available in the U.S. — from the General below the jump. Did we mention "427" may be the mark of the devil? Just sayin'... More »
