GM has been a master at nearly always changing just enough items on the 'vette from year to year that there seems to be good value in getting the newer model. The transmission/rear end changes might be significant if you plan to modify the car: that is a known weakness in modified C5s and C6s and requires $$ to fix. The rest of the changes aren't the type to get me excited: carbon fiber console? -- the present piece weighs about 2 lbs so the weight savings is insignificant -- wish they'd use it for more body pieces, though.
Overall, though, I doubt there will be any difference in performance, 07 to 08. Realize that the standard C6 gets more displacement and HP for 08 and so the Z's margin over the standard model shrinks, but it still has about 20% more HP.
