Chevrolet has just released a video and social media announcement of the the 2023 C8 Corvette Z06 Reveal date of October 26th, 2021.
This is after Corvettes of Carlisle and before SEMA in Las Vegas as well as the Los Angeles Auto Show.
So it looks like they will have their own special event for the reveal of the C8 Corvette Z06 as they did when they unveiled the mid engine C8 Corvette to the world in the summer of 2019 in the California airport hanger with the NASA space theme.
About the Corvette: The mid-engine marvel continues to carve its legacy with every push of the ignition. Get behind the wheel and experience the balance of design and performance that puts Corvette, and whoever is driving it, out in front.
This was more than a trip for sightseeing, this was a drive from one world famous track to another with a supercar that is ready to take on anything, anywhere around the world. More information coming 10.26.21 for the All-New 2023 Corvette Z06.
In the latest video from Horsepower Obsessed he breaks an Axle drag racing his C8 Corvette.
His first run against a 2006 Z06 that ran a 11.3 was one of his best yet a 11.5 in the quarter mile but when he tried to line up again he broke an Axle which the C8 Corvettes are known to do especially with drag racing.
He knew right away it was an Axle “because they are weak” and the car was fine otherwise and still driving.
I BROKE my C8 Corvette! THIS part is VERY weak from factory.
Back when they first came out and someone added NOS they broke the Axle on the C8 Corvette as well as you can see in the video below.
Also, we have heard from a Chevy Dealer that there has been a lot of the axles blow out especially at the boot vs the actual shaft breaking.
Worlds First Broken C8 Corvette!
The best thing you can do if you are going to drag race your C8 Corvette or run a ton of launch control launches over time is to upgrade the C8 Corvette Axles. There is an aftermarket Axle many C8 Corvette owners have used from Cicio Performance to Emelia Hartford and they used Driveshaft Shop 1400HP Axles.

Update on Corvette C8 Axles breaking
Ok it’s now 2022 and here is another C8 Corvette with a broken Axle from launching it at a drag strip. As you see it had to get towed but there is good news.

As you can see GM and Chevrolet took take of the Axle under warranty for the customer and for the most part we have see over 90% of things braking on the C8 Corvette covered under warranty with no problems.

In this video update from Cars, Costs, and Technology he really shows the difference between the possible base model C8 Z06 and the Z07 Performance package add on for the C8 Z06.
You can tell the wing, aero, front bumpers and wheels are significantly different. The base model actually looks better in some angles with the wing and wheels in our opinion vs. the C8 Z07 Z06 model.
