Chevrolet Corvette C8

While drag racing fast cars only tells you so much about their performance capabilities, it’s always fun to see who comes out on top. Currently, these four – theAcura NSX Type S, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Chevrolet C8 Corvette, and Porsche 911 Turbo S – are some of the hottest high-performance cars on the market. ’Throttle House’ arranged for them to meet for a drag race. Can the C8 Corvette punch above its weight against the turbocharged opponents?

While Ford launched the GT supercar with an outrageous-for-a-Ford price tag, extreme rules for purchase, and very limited availability, GM was busy putting together the new mid-engined C8 Corvette. As a car that has become known as an affordable exotic with the performance credentials to match its appearance, it was only missing one thing: electrification. That’s about to change, however, as Chevy has just confirmed that the Vette Hybrid is on the way, and while that’ll be a first for the Vette nameplate, there’s an even more important first coming with it.

The good people at ‘Edmunds’ have another U-drag race for us. This time, it’s the Chevy C8 Corvette going up against the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing. It is generally easy to predict which car’s going to win depending on what kind of race they are taking part in; whether roll or standing drag races. But, in this interesting format, the cars go through drag and roll tests in one shot, and even the braking and handling aspects come into play. Makes it exciting, doesn’t it?

Barrett-Jackson had a super Saturday as it auctioned 10 cars with a seven-digit price figure. The showstopper here was the first production model of the 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 that fetched $3.7 million! All the proceeds from this sale will go to Operation Homefront, an NGO that helps military veterans and their families build strong and secure lives.

The 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 has yet to enter mass production, and yet photos of the 70th Anniversary Edition model have reportedly surfaced online.

If you are in the market for a car, you will be surprised at the number of offerings you get in every single segment. Right from your Nissan Versa to a Ferrari F8 Tributo; there is competition in every segment. Whether you’re into classic cars, imported models or luxury items, you will be spoilt for choices. But, not every car you see is a cool one. There are a number of factors in determining whether a car is cool or not. There’s the exterior, the interior, the performance, and most importantly, it’s every individual’s opinion. You may or may not agree with some of the entries here, but here’s a look at the coolest cars of 2021.

The Chevrolet Corvette C8 is still one of the hottest sports cars, currently on sale. Demand is so high, GM is having trouble keeping up. The same could be true with the recently unveiled 2023 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06, as information about the prices has finally leaked. Spoiler alert: like the regular C8, it’s shaping up to be a performance car bargain.

Most of the speculations prior to the launch of the C8 Corvette Z06 were based on the C8.R race car, especially about the 5.5-liter V-8. The leaks sure helped, but it the C8.R race car was used as a benchmark. Now, the automaker has decided to replace the C8.R with the Corvette Z06 GT3.R. What makes this even special is that you will be able to purchase it. We’ve seen automakers like Porsche and BMW do this, but not Chevy.

The 2023 C8 Corvette Z06, has to be one of the most important and highly anticipated cars to hit the road this year. With its high-revving mid-mounted V-8 engine, the new Z06 can give any European exotic, a run for its money. You had lead development engineer Aaron Link from General Motors join Jay Leno to give him a quick tour of the new car.

If you already haven’t already heard about the headline figures on the new car, you can find the performance figures of the C8 Z06 here. I’ll instead mainly touch upon some aspects of the C8 that the pair talk about.

Chevy finally launched the fifth-gen 2023 Corvette Z06 on 10.26.2021; two years after the C8 Corvette came out. The Z06 is a huge improvement over the standard model in general, but the automaker offers another package that takes this up the notch even more – the Z07 Package. Chevy let out details about the Z07 Package at the Z06’s launch and it is quite impressive. Here’s a rundown of what to expect from it:

Chevy shocked the world when the eighth-generation (C8) Corvette switched to a mid-engine layout. It naturally came with some criticism, but for the most part it was well received. Fast forward a couple of years, and Chevy stayed true to tradition by releasing an all-new C8 Corvette Z06, but how much does the new Z06 really stick to tradition? Well, it doesn’t feature forced induction, but it is supercar fast and it comes as a strong proposition to cars like the Ferrari F8 that cost more than double, and it kind of sticks it to Ford and its overpriced, heritage-proud GT. Here’s everything you need to know about the brand new 2023 Chevy C8 Corvette Z06.

The C8 Corvette came out a couple of years back and we have been waiting for the new Z06 ever since. The time is finally here. The company has hyped it enough to keep us on our toes and it seems to be worth the wait. The 2023 Z06 comes with a new LT6 5.5-liter, flat-plane crank naturally aspirated V-8 engine that puts out 670 horses; 175 horses more than the standard C8. The engine redlines at 8,600 rpm and will be mated to an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox.

The talks of the new Corvette Z06 started within a few days after the standard C8 was launched. The car was spotted testing in the past as well. After making us wait for a couple of years, the company decided to announce in August this year that the Z06 is coming soon. The countdown had then begun, and we are now around 24 hours away from its official debut at the time of writing this article.

The 2023 Corvette Z06 will be launched on 10.26.2021 at 1200 ET, and this is where you can watch the live stream:

The Corvette E-Ray has never been spied before, but the company has been working on it for a very long time. The fact that GM trademarked the ‘E-Ray’ name back in 2015 shows that the automaker has had it in its plans for the better part of the last decade. Fast forward to the present day, the automaker is still tight-lipped about it, but it has been spotted testing at the Nurburgring. If you had even an ounce of doubt, this proves that the car is certainly not a myth.
