Its an 08 with 232 Miles on her, i havent checked the paint code, however its either electron or lemans blue, 6 speed obviously, feels great to be back in the LSX!! Trying to post pics of her. Cannot believe the handling difference coming from my ole WS6, The Vette moves like a raped ape!

A blue 2008 is probably most likely Jet Stream Blue Metallic, post pics and I can tell you for sure. Nice car btw. A JSB Z06 is one of my favorite cars. Also, you made a good choice on getting the '08. Don't know if you are aware of the differences of the previous years or not.

Hope you enjoy it as much as your last LSx.

Great job on picking up a C6Z. Very badass cars.

Yea you have the jet stream blue, very nice color on a c6Z. Seen one today at a car show. They switched from lemans blue to jet stream blue in 2008.

2008's came with an updated steering rack for better feel, upgraded interior stuff (optional leather dash, carbon fiber center console, etc), different oil reservoir for the dry sump system to avoid oil starvation in corners, and 08's haven't seemed to have the rocker arm issue the '06-'07 LS7's did. If you don't know early LS7's that blew were from oil starvation and rocker arm needle bearing failure. Although, it is not as common as some people make it out to be. I would still pick up an '06 Z, if I get the chance.

Sometimes I miss the all motor feel though. Nothing like big inch n/a power.
