Kelly Blue Book has released their list of 2008 model year vehicles with the best resale value and Corvette was front and center. What's interesting about this year's list is the inclusion of the Corvette Z06 in the newly created High Performance category. Last year's survey omitted that category, but still said this about the 2007 Corvette Z06:Kelley Blue Book's Best Resale Value Awards exclude expensive, high-performance, low-volume vehicles, because of the program's emphasis on serving the typical consumer. The No. 1 vehicle would have been the 2007 Corvette ZO6, holding the greatest percentage of its original value after a five-year ownership period.
This is what Kelley Blue Book says about the 2008 Corvette Z06 in this year's survey:Replace the standard Corvette's 430-horsepower V8 with a 505-horsepower V8---an engine hand-assembled by a single technician---and you've got what many consider the best of the best in American sports cars. The added power is managed by a reworked suspension that delivers improved handling with very little sacrifice in highway ride comfort.
In addition to the Corvette Z06 holding the best resale title in the High Performance Category, Chevrolet's Corvette also got the nod in the top 10 list for 2008 vehicles with the Best Resale Value. Source:
