Default Differences between base C6 model years?

I've searched around on the Internet and can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for. I want to know the exact differences between the base C6's of each year. Particularly 08-09-10-11-12-13. In 2012 they upgraded the seats, but that's all I know of...

But does anyone have a list of all the exact differences between those years? Any difference at all, suspension, engine, interior, body, etc. Thanks!

The best resource for this info, IMO is the book called
Corvette Black Book Corvette Black Book
. Its updated every year and gives you all the details of each model year change as well as the RPO codes.

As for online info The National Corvette Museum has quite a bit of similar info.

If you are just going to drive the car, I would look at the 2007.
Better gas mileage, same car.
You are the only person who will know what year it is.
You can put newer wheels on and then even these guys won't know the difference.

I mean, I have had people ask if my car is the new C7.

You might find the 2007 for 10,000.00 less than an 2008.
If you are only driving it to work and Wal-Mart, it is plently of car to put a smile on your face.

I get paid to drive my car for work. At .55 per mile, my car has paid for itself twice.
After fuel and service, the money is going in the bank for my C7.
