I can't speak to the 2008 but I have 2007 3LT and can tell you that I have the 6 way power driver seat. It has the center and side bolsters and the the seat cushion.

The 1LT car will not have a power passenger seat. The 3LT will. They both have the 6 way power drivers seat. I just looked at the Corvette Black Book and it did not mention any changes in the seats between 2007 and 2008.

No side impact airbags with 1LT , no heated seats , no two tone ,and no memory function. The 3LT will have these options. From a visual standpoint they will look the same. My personal opinion…Im the only driver of my vette , its a conv, and a summer car. I have no real use for the 3LT interior upgrades. If both these cars are similar condition and price, I would get the 2008 for the many mechanical upgrades that came that year over the 2007. Good luck

I have an LS2 and I love it, but if I had a shot at the 08 LS3 I would get the LS3 and forget about the interior options. The two toned seats are ugly and the rest of the interior options can be had without. I have all sorts of interior stuff, HUD is cool, but I'd take a bigger engine instead.

If the 2008 is a Z51 you already have your answer. Go for the Z51.

I believe the seats did not change until 2010. I drove both and 07 and 08 Z51 3LT cars before I purchased my 07. Same mileage. Not much difference between the two cars that is noticeable driving wise. The deciding factor for me was price. A dealer wanted $32,000. I bought mine from an individual for $25,000. No brainer.
