The Verus Engineering Carbon Polyweave Side Splitter Kit completes the aerodynamic appearance of your Chevrolet C8 Corvette.
These units were designed specifically to flow with the factory rocker panel and feature a horizontal member which reduces the amount of high-pressure air making its way to the bottom side of the vehicle. This high-pressure air produces lift and by reducing this, we reduce lift on the chassis. This is specifically prevalent while the vehicle is in yaw or while turning.
• Reduce Lift (Increase Downforce) • Improve Overall Aerodynamic Efficiency • Reduce Lap Times • Increase Gas Mileage • Will Not Grab and Bend Surfaces Like Aluminum Units • Will Not Crack and Break Like Carbon and ABS Units • Abrasive resistant while stiff
** PLEASE NOTE THIS IS POLYWEAVE – It is NOT CLEAR CARBON FIBER. Polyweave will have some inconsistencies in the material. THIS IS NOT FOR CAR SHOWS, IT IS FOR RACE CARS!

With interest rates rising the housing market and car market is starting to cool off and used car prices are starting to come down. In this video you will see Jump Squad Auto take his brand new 2023 70th Anniversary Edition C8 Corvette to Carmax to see what they would offer.
His C8 Corvette is fully loaded and has just over 200 miles on it. So far C8 Corvettes have dropped about 10% and the high end supercar and exotic car market is falling as well to compensate for the rise in interest rates.
Jump Squad Auto’s C8 Corvette has a MSRP sticker price at $98,800 but he paid over sticker for the car as he hints in the video. He does mention about $10k over is fair game.
In the end you will see CarMax offers him $102,000 so about $3k over sticker on this 70th Anniversary Carbon Flash Edition C8 Corvette Convertible.
Chevrolet Corvette C8 prices continued to decrease this year and what better way to test the market then to take my 2023 C8 Corvette to CarMax. What did CarMax offer for the 70th Anniversary Edition. Consumer spending and confidence is falling and so are car prices. Almost 10% dip in corvette pricing at auction and wholesale since the start of the calendar year.
However, everyone is still wondering if production of the 300+ known allocations and possible 500 more “VIP” orders General Motors hand selected like Emelia Hartford, TJ Hunt, and the Stradman will still go into production this month.
StreetSpeed717 confirmed 3 YouTubers were hand selected by Chevrolet and General Motors at his local Chevy dealer in Pennsylvania at Whitmoyer Chevrolet.
There is also speculation General Motors is hand selecting these people in a unique way since EddieX and Speed Phenom on YouTube also were selected to get their orders of the C8 Corvette and Eddie X never owned Corvette before unlike Speed Phenom that has a “track” focused YouTube channel and since StreetSpeed717 was more “TRX” focused lately with his channel jumping cars.
And further speculation they are halting production because there is something wrong with the car now that its a flat plane crank engine and the highest NA horsepower engine ever built. Which is another reason why people are saying they are going to void the warranty if you don’t keep it at least 6 months and try to flip the car so they don’t have to pay to fix any of the issues.
Just when it was announced only 10% of C8 Corvettes were going to be C8 Z06 models or about 3,000 a year they pulled the rug out from everyone and stopped orders. There are people that have been on dealer lists for years that will have to continue to wait even longer for the new C8 Z06 that’s if they continue to wait at all or decide to switch over to a Acura NSX, McLaren, Porsche, Ferrari, or Lamborghini instead.
Chevy Just CANCELLED My 2022 C8 Z06 Order… *I Got ABSOLUTELY SCREWED*
My Corvette Z06 Order!!! | New Car Update
SHOCKING NEWS… The 2023 C8 Z06 Will Be RARER Than A FORD GT! *Order Update*
In this video Speed Phenom, Austin mentions he doesn’t have any inside information about the C8 Corvette Z06 production still starting on his hand selected allocation for the C8 Z06 but he doesn’t seem too worried about it.
Our guess is even though General Motors and Chevrolet halted orders for the 2023 C8 Corvette Z06 they are still going to start production on the 300+ allocations given out to dealers in August, 2022 including the hand selected “VIPs” and YouTubers they wanted to have the car.
If there wasn’t enough drama, waiting, mark ups with the C8 Corvette and the new 2023 C8 Corvette Z06 you’re in luck there’s more!
Rick Corvette Conti on YouTube just let the Corvette community know that General Motors and Chevrolet are not accepting any more orders for the 2023 C8 Corvette Z06 until 2024!
The C8 Corvette has been nothing but issues since they debuted the car in the summer of 2019 in California. And when they did with a starting $59,995 price tag it increase the C8 Corvette demand like no other Corvette in it’s history being a new mid engine platform. People looked at it as they do with most Corvettes an American sports car with tremendous value.
Now almost three years later you can find C8 Corvettes selling above MSRP as many Chevy dealers marked up the C8 Corvette as well as the new and highly anticipated flat plane crank high revving C8 Corvette Z06 for 2023.
And as of today September 2nd, 2022 Rick Corvette Conti a Corvette sales person in Ohio at Coughlin Chevrolet of Pataskala received noticed they are no longer taking orders for the C8 Corvette Z06 until 2023! He mentioned its due to supply chain which funny enough has effected the entire United States in many areas since November of 2020.
Also, we found out that one of the first C8 Corvette allocations that were suppose to be built September 19th 2022 has been pushed back until November, 2022.
