Default 2007 vs. 2008

I have read that there were changes made to the 2008 Z06. Is this true, and if so does anyone know what the changes are?

Center console is different and the steering was upgraded, I drove both and didn't notice that much of a difference but I do not track mine either. I might be missing something but someone can chime in.

Like someone else has said.....the transmission change. To me the O8 shifts at least twice better than the earlier years.
The first time I noticed this was at Spring Mt. It was early 08 and most of the cars were 07's. I got in one that was a dream to shift, and mentioned it to the others. They had one 08 there and one of the guys informed me that I got it on that particular ride. I decided to get nothing earlier than a 08 on that day.
