In this video by Daily Delinquency on YouTube they install a bunch of aftermarket mods for the C8 Corvette including a Fabspeed Exhaust, Paragon Lowering Kit, Flashtech Lighting LED, Underglow Lighting and Vertical Doors.
This C8 Corvette is already wrapped in Satin Purple and has aftermarket wheels. However, Certified Motors installed the Fabspeed Exhaust on it and Daily Delinquency does the rest with the lighting, vertical doors, and lowering collars.
This gives you a glimpse into all the different aftermarket mods for the C8 Corvette that are available. The only other thing we might add to this C8 Corvette is some carbon fiber from Racing Sport Concepts although this C8 Corvette does have a High Wing Spoiler already.
In this video from the Radiator Grille Store they show you exactly how to install the Racing Sport Concepts Ducktail Spoiler step by step on their 2022 Amplify Orange Hard Top C8 Convertible.

In this video you can hear DadBodSzn610 on YouTube give his opinion of the new C8 Z06 Corvette Sales process and allocations to Chevy Dealers.
Normally, Chevrolet Dealers get allocation based on their sales numbers and he recently put two C8 Corvette Z06 deposits down at a Chevy dealer with the highest allocations of Corvettes but was pretty far down on their list when they started emailing the reservation numbers.
He ended up being in the 1,500s on the list so he decided to take his deposit back about a month later. Also, his wife took her deposit back once they said you can only have one deposit down at MSRP per household to make it fair for the rest of the people on the list that put their deposits down.
So far the list is over 4-5k people at this one car dealer that want the C8 Corvette Z06 as fast as possible and “first”. This Chevy dealer has the best chance and getting the most C8 Corvette Z06s because they normally sell the most and have the most allocations. The dealership was recently purchased and in tradition they didn’t open the list until the car was actually unveiled, set up their rules to get on the list and started taking deposits at the day and time mentioned allowing people from all over the world to wire transfer money or if local drive to their dealer or fly in and stand in line in person.
No one knows how many C8 Corvette Z06 cars that Chevrolet can produce each year going forward especially with current supply chain issues and in the past it was only about 25%-35% or so of the base Corvette models. And the C8 Corvette Z06 might be even lower since each engine is hand built by about 13 engine builders they mentioned at the time of the reveal.
Do think he is right in the video about General Motors changing things up with Chevy Dealer allocation or even taking a “Tesla.com” model where people can buy directly from the manufacturer?
Leave your comments below we know it’s a tough subject and everyone is hyped about getting a C8 Corvette including the C8 Z06 but it’s tough for car dealers too that earned allocations by their history of past sales.
In this video from Rick Corvette Conti with Coughlin Chevrolet of Pataskala discusses how to fix squeaky or squealing C8 Corvette brakes with his service corvette technician Chuck Metts.
Chuck mentions Chevrolet wants them to put a copper grease on the brake pads to stop them from chattering in the calipers. It’s Permatex Copper anti seize lubricant and to put a thick layer on the brake pads.
Another option is upgrading your brakes to Girodisc brake rotors and Carbotech Brake pads as we did after ordering the parts from Paragon Performance. We have a Z51 3LT C8 Corvette the J55 brakes are bigger so you have to take the brake calipers off.
There is a bulletin with Chevrolet not a recall that they will fix this issue as long as the C8 Corvette is still under warranty.
In this video from Rick Corvette Conti on YouTube he shares the latest C8 Corvette news and has a date set for his C8 Corvette “Evil Knievel ” type of stunt jump which is December 19th, 2021.
C8 Corvette Plant Slowdowns
Rick mentions a lot of his C8 Corvettes for customers are just sitting at the Bowling Green, KY plant for over month that he thought he should of received by now.
C8 Corvette Z06 Pricing
Rick also shares his thoughts on the C8 Corvette Z06 Pricing YouTube videos and confirms its all speculation as he speculates the pricing will come out in January or February 2022 from Chevrolet and General Motors officially.
Heated Steering Wheel
If you don’t get a heated steering wheel with any GM vehicle you get a $25.00 credit, 1 year free remote access plan, and they will retrofit your car when the part comes in since it’s been effected like many things with the supply chain and chip shortage.
Rick Corvette Conti C8 Corvette Jump
Rick Conti mentions he will be jumping his C8 Corvette Evil Knievel style with a full video production type video on December 19th, 2021. He will be sharing the video on his YouTube channel here and he has already completed the jump and has some slight injuries from that and also jumping over his car.
He mentions he messed up his C8 Corvette Convertible by jumping it but it is currently fixed already. It was a lot more damage then he expected and you will have to watch his YouTube channel Dec 19th to see the video of the C8 Corvette jump.
C8 CORVETTE JUMPS OVER ANOTHER C8
So here is the video of Rick Corvette Conti Jumping a C8 Corvette over another C8 Corvette. Real or Fake with good high production paid for editing? Leave your comment below.
He conveniently does the “jump” at night, in the rain, in a “private lot” that looks like a commercial building or school parking lot. You don’t see him land or go ramp to ramp and supposedly lands on asphalt but runs out of the car ok and the car flys down the concrete at 70MPH.
Unlike StreetSpeed717 where you clearly see him jump his lambo over his other lambo there is some fishy stuff going on here with Rick and looks more like a high production magic trick of the mind on some of his YouTube Commentors which also appear to fake? (a lot of comments from profiles with no pictures, videos on their page, about section blank ect..)
WHAT DID WE DO? EVEL KNIEVEL CORVETTE JUMP FOLLOW UP
Here is the follow up to the Rick Corvette Conti C8 Corvette jump that was fake and all for “entertainment” and “views”. So if you enjoy fake car jump videos this one is for you! lol
Check out this video from Brink of Speed on YouTube where he leaks the 2023 C8 Z06 Corvette pricing starting at $88,000.
He supposedly has a Chevrolet C8 Corvette Z06 build sheet with all the pricing including Carbon Fiber Wheels at $11,000 and the Z07 package adding another $9,500.
UPDATED – someone in the comments is saying they made this up. With the internet nowadays you never know what is true, false, made up. As we discussed in past C8 z06 posts its all pure speculation until Chevrolet or General Motors officially announces it.
Also, if you want to go with the 3LZ option that’s another $11,950. You will see in this build its priced out to about $144,000 including $8k in Tax.
Some other interesting pricing shows the C8 Corvette Z06 Convertible starting at $95,500 or $106,995 in the 3LZ option before adding the Z07 package or any other carbon fiber add ons for the C8 Corvette Z06.
In this video from Fred’s Full Throttle on YouTube has an “Insider Info, 2 Little Nuggets” section where he says he was told by MacMulkin Chevrolet they heard there are two new colors being considered for release for the 2023 C8 Corvettes.
Fred recently put his deposit down with MacMulkin in another recent video so maybe they mentioned it to him then.
Check out this video by Acceler8 on YouTube where they drag race a Tesla Model S Plaid vs the C8 Corvette.
So we have 1000 Horsepower AWD Tesla Plaid vs. 495 Horsepower Mid Engine Rear Wheel Drive C8 Corvette. We all know how this is going to start and end right?
