Check out this video review of the 2023 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 by Top Gear on YouTube. They cover all the specs, options, and performance numbers.
Per their C8 Z06 video description
This is the new Corvette Z06, and we’ll get the big news out of the way first: it’s being made in right-hand drive. It marks the first time we might be able to buy the most athletic ‘Vette officially in the UK. But with 670bhp, it’s also the world’s most powerful nat-asp V8 you can get. And in Z07 spec it has carbon wheels and a ginormous wing. Oh, and it also makes a fabulous noise. So allow Top Gear’s Ollie Marriage to geek out about it so you know the score before it hits our shores

This Widebody C8 Corvette was built over a year for the SEMA Show in Las Vegas and was a showstopper. It’s one of the best C8 Corvette builds to date and we would rank it in the Top 5 of C8 Corvette builds so far.

In this video, Flying Wheels on YouTube provides a video review of the Corvette C8 Convertible (hard top) after waiting 9 months to receive his C8 Corvette order.
He has a 2021 Corvette C8 HTC with the Z51 package and covers 30 things he loves about his C8 Corvette Convertible and some of the options he chose and wish he went with that he didn’t this time around.
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.

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.

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
