I got a chance to review and drive one of the most ridiculous C8 Corvettes on the planet. Listen to the custom Procharger scream right behind my head as I rip down the streets in this one of a kind beast. Every detail has been thought of and it came together beautifully. Would you consider Procharging your hot rod? Procharger design was done by Westbrookbranding.com

It took well over a month for the Air Ride air bag suspension to work with the magnetic ride control and that was a great stock option that they lost going with an air bagged approach. Also, they wish they had black rivets vs stainless steel rivets with the Pandem Widebody kit.
It took him over a year to get his Convertible C8 Corvette but he had ordered his wheels and widebody kit ahead of time. He owns Fitment Industries and they provide wheels and tires for all types of cars including the C8 Corvette.
They also added a Borla exhaust to their C8 Corvette Widebody and talk about why they can’t sell this C8 Corvette.
You will notice in the video when he takes the C8 out for a drive the air lift air bag suspension causes lift system warning check engine lights. Even with it’s quirks he thinks its the best value for the money, its fun, and his wife really likes it and drives it more then his supercars.
Why no one wants to drive this Pandem C8?
Our Pandem Corvette C8 Convertible is one of the most unique vehicles we have, however no one drives it! After buying it new in February 2021 it currently sits with just over 1,000 miles. Should we sell this thing? or hold onto it? Let us know below!

In this video Drive 615 went to the NCM Bash 2022 and captured the new C8 Corvette Z06s with some revs of the new flat plane crank engine.
Exclusive look and sound clip of a 2023 C8 Z06 Chevrolet Corvette revving at high RPM’s and interior and exterior footage of three other C8 Z06’s as well as two 70th anniversary Z06’s. Went up to Bowling Green Kentucky to the National Corvette Museum for the Michelin 2022 NCM Bash. I drove my 2015 C7 Z06 up there and had a blast. The C8 Z06 LT6 engine produces 670 hp at 8,400 rpm and 460 lb-ft of torque at at 6,300 rpm. It also comes equipped with double overhead cams, dry-sump lubrication, and a flat-plane crankshaft. It revs to 8,600 RPM.
In addition to the amazing new Chevrolet #Corvette#Z06 coming this year, an electrified #Corvette will be available as early as next year and a fully electric version to follow. Stay tuned for more.
In the Instagram video they use you can clearly see them using an All Wheel Drive (AWD) C8 Corvette to show what’s coming. We were one of the first blogs to write about the C8 Corvette going All Wheel Drive when they teased the C8 Z07 on an All Wheel Drive Dyno in the unveil video.
A lot of the comments so far having been mixed with some people saying just build the C8 Z06 and don’t shut down the Bowling Green, Kentucky plant any further as well as not wanting an “electric Corvette”.
However, we did see people saying they are looking forward to it as well and we lean on that side. That’s the way the world is moving and although the sound and “soul” of a car is important why not have both and perhaps have one of the baddest electric sport cars to compete with the Tesla Plaid and Tesla Roadster that is coming out that has mind boggling performance of 1.99 0 to 60 and low 9 second quarter miles with out clutches or engines breaking like we see with the Twin Turbo C8 Corvettes.

In this video by RacerX on YouTube covers all the details about the New 2023 C8 Corvette Z06 in Torch Red on the Dealer Tour. This Torch Red C8 Z06 was at Friendly Chevrolet in Dallas, Texas.
This torch red C8 Corvette Z07 has the Z07 package and is a 3LZ interior option with all of the carbon fiber options. Along with the 5.5 Flat plane crank engine that is the most powerful V8 naturally aspirated 670HP V8 in the world. The C8 Z06 does 0 to 60 in 2.6 seconds.
The C8 Z06 is a lot wider than the base model C8 Corvette stingray and this one has the painted carbon fiber wheels vs. the carbon fiber wheels with the exposed weave. You can tell because of the white wheel barrels which is used on carbon fiber wheels.
I give you an up close and personal look at the brand new 2023 C8 Corvette Z06. This beast won’t start production until July of this year but we got a sneak peak at this beast and it is quite the machine. What do you think of the new Z06?
Also, in this video below Brink of Speed shares insights and thoughts on the same torch red C8 Corvette Z06 at Friendly Chevrolet in Dallas Texas.
We recently posted some new Reels on Instagram highlighting our Racing Sport Concepts Carbon Fiber Body Kit and wanted to provide some insights their C8 Body Kit why we choose their kit vs many others on the market.
As you can see from these Instagram Reels the Racing Sport Concepts Carbon Fiber C8 Corvette Body kit and carbon fiber parts really make the C8 Corvette Stingray Z51 model look more aggressive and give it a way better aero presence than the options from factory.
Here are the reasons we decided to go with Racing Sport Concepts Carbon Fiber Parts and Body Kit for our C8 Corvette.
First and coolest Ducktail Spoiler that gives the C8 Corvette an improved look in the rear section of the car that is very unique and sleek.
All of their carbon fiber parts are very easy to install
Racing Sport Concepts has been around a long time and actually have a history of tuning cars as well as making Carbon Fiber Parts for Lamborghini, Porsche, and BMW to name a few.
Their customer service is outstanding with great communication and help answering questions via their website, social media channels like Instagram or their toll free phone number. (we have seen many times on Instagram people going the cheaper route and then not getting their carbon fiber parts for months if at all)
Their packaging and shipping as well as inventory is well stocked, ready to ship to and prepared to make sure the carbon fiber parts arrive in perfect condition
You do not need to cut fenders or modify the car to use their carbon fiber parts to create a really nice looking C8 Corvette body kit with their front splitters, side skirts, and ducktail spoiler.
They allow you to buy each of their carbon fiber parts piece by piece in an a la carte fashion or you can piece together a C8 Body kit including a C8 Corvette Diffuser, Engine hatch vents and more.
If you want to take it back to stock its very easy to do so vs. if you wide body the car or start cutting fenders it would cost you a lot more to try to get it back to stock and need body work and new fenders and bumpers.
