Beginning with the 2008 model year, the C6 Corvette received the new 6.2-liter LS3 V8. The manual gearbox changed from the Tremec T56 to the newer TR6060 that year, and the steering was revised for better feel. Ours is a 2008 Corvette in black over a black interior, with a manual gearbox. It rides on HRE wheels powder-coated in an almost magnesium blue.
