The 2008 Corvette 427 Limited Edition Z06, a limited-production
model pays homage to the big-block Stingray models of the mid-
1960s. The 427 designation refers to the cubic-inch displacement
for the highest-performance engines offered between 1966 and
'69 - and is also the cubic-inch equivalent of the Z06's 7.0L LS7
small-block V-8. The 427 Limited Edition Z06 features a Crystal
Red Tintcoat exterior, the first Z06 ever offered with a red metallic
tintcoat paint. Only 427 will be offered in the United States and
Canada, with 78 more exported outside North America.
