As a salute to classic big-block 427 Corvettes from the late 1960s, Chevrolet is releasing the 2008 Corvette 427 Limited Edition Z06.
The limited-edition models will be painted Crystal Red. The exterior changes for the limited-edition model include a graphic on the hood and fascia, and "427" badges on the hood.
The 427 refers to the cubic-inch displacement of the big-block motors from the late 1960s and the displacement of the 7.0-liter V8 in the Corvette Z06. The Z06 motor, with the LS7 designation, is rated at 505 hp. Chevrolet says the Corvette Z06 will make the run from 0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds and has a top speed of 198 mph.
Other content unique to the limited edition includes chrome wheels, body-color rear spoiler and door handles, custom leather-wrapped interior, Crystal Red interior trim-plate graphic pattern, "427" embroidered seats and floor mats and "Z06" sill plates.
The limited-edition model goes into production this spring, under order code Z44. A total of 427 cars will be built for the United States and Canada, along with 78 cars to be exported outside of North America.
The Corvette 427 Limited Edition Z06 carries a sticker price of $84,195, which includes shipping charges.
