In 2022, this is a C8 Corvette package that is called the C8R edition and as we covered before it’s mainly a graphics and sticker tribute to the C8.R race car. There is no engine improvement and still uses the same Tremac DCT in any other C8 Corvette.

Vossen Wheels Owner Spotlight of Gabe Florido Car Lifestyle Creator

In the past we have covered Vossen Forged Wheels and Vossen Wheels for the C8 Corvette and adding them as an aftermarket wheel which became a very popular choice once Gabe Florido from Car Lifestyle added them to his C8 Corvette.

They are one of the highest quality wheels along with brands like (HRE Wheels, BC Forged, Rohana Wheels, Ferrada Wheels, AG Wheels, Lite Speed Wheels a 2021 SEMA Winner) and provide hybrid forged design cues on some of their wheels in the less than $1k-2k a wheel range. Their engineering team and exclusive community have a strong passion for the highest standard Vossen Wheel and Vossen Rim. The Vossen Wheels go through quality control before being shipped out to some of their wheel dealers.

We have a running list of other C8 Z06 Nurburgring Videos and C8 Z06 information in preparation of the C8 Z06 reveal on October, 26th of 2021.

The C8 Z06 is going to have new aero kit options including a split wing as well as new wheels and a center exhaust.

There are Chevy Dealerships with 900+ waiting lists and have already said they are going to mark up the C8 Z06. The C8 Z06 is sold out before it’s even revealed.

2023 CORVETTE C8 Z06 CONTINUES TESTING AT THE NÜRBURGRING!

First Look at Corvettes of Carlisle & 2022 C8 Corvette C8R Edition

Check out this video from HorsePower Obsessed on YouTube has he shows what Corvettes of Carlisle looks like setting up the day before it starts on Thursday for the weekend.

2022 C8 Corvette C8.R edition FIRST LOOK, 3 new COLORS and MORE at Corvettes at Carlisle 2021!

C8 Z06 Sold Out Already!

Check out this video from DadBodSZN610 on YouTube has he been waiting for a base model C8 Corvette since February 2020!

He now called 15 of the top Chevy dealers that have the highest Corvette sales and some of the lists had 900 people (Macmulkin Chevrolet Cadillac). He even had Chevy Dealers saying it would be a 4 year wait! Also, they admitted there will a list drop off based on financial reasons etc..

He has a point though C8 Corvettes sold for 5k, 20k, 30k, and even STILL marked up $50k as we posted about an Arizona Chevy Dealer Gateway Chevrolet known for HUGE C8 Corvette mark ups as well as one of the Top Corvette dealers in sales of Corvettes Van Chevrolet marking up C8 Corvettes $20k!

Check out his video he has many valid points including C8 Corvette prices not dropping that much even with the C8 Z06 coming out.

We have also posted a C8 Z06 pricing mark up video by Speed Phenom where every Chevy Dealer in Los Angeles had C8 Z06 lists and they were marking them too!

It’s not going to even matter about the possible new C8 z06 colors we talked about people being able to choose when most people won’t be able to get one with a lot more limited production and waiting lists of hundreds of people at each Chevy Dealer in the country.

It’s going to be very interesting to see what Chevy reveals about the C8 Z06 on October 26th including pricing, production dates, and if they are going to control the allocation flow and mark ups better vs what happened with the C8 Stingray which was effected by a UAW strike, Covid, and supply chain issues.

C8 Corvette Callaway Launch Edition Debuting at Corvettes of Carlisle

In these video from HorsePower Obsessed and Brink of Speed they are covering the new C8 Corvette Callaway edition debuting at Corvettes of Carlisle.

They haven’t mentioned any power increase but time will tell when they show it off at Corvettes of Carlisle. The only information provided so far is they are using new aero, a center exit exhaust, and of course it comes with or maintains the factory warranty.

The big difference is the aero kit and their big wing to get you into the Big Wang Gang! There is a chance they have access to unlock the Chevy C8 Corvette ECU but not sure on that since C8 Corvette has over the air updates now that can knock that out real quick.

We agree with HorsePower Obsessed it’s probably a little too late unless someone is a hardcore Callaway enthusiast since the C8 Z06 is coming out with multiple variants soon.

Also, there’re already many engine mods you can do to your C8 Corvette (Fabspeed, Kooks, Soul Performance, American Racing Headers, Throttle body, Ported Manifold) as well as aftermarket wheel mods like Vossen Wheels, BC Forged Wheels,  and Carbon Fiber kits, ect..) like Racing Sport Concepts.

They better come with a pretty big engine upgrade which the C8 Corvette seems to be limited at that 600-650HP mark before the current Tremac Dual Clutch Transmission starts slipping. Hopefully they will have an axel upgrade too since they are known to break.

Standard on the Callaway C8 Corvette

  • Callaway Forged C8 Wheels
  • Double D Exhaust System
  • Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser
  • Callaway Interior package (door sills, alcantara, billet pedal set ect,,)
  • Callaway Ported Intake Manifold (should increase horsepower)
  • Callaway exterior badging

The Corvette C8 Market is Cracking? C8 Corvette Price Data

Check out this video from Fourwheel Trader as he provides car depreciation analysis on many types of popular cars.

In this video he covers the still top selling and leader in July of 2021 C8 Corvette. We haven’t noticed that much cracking since the C8 is still hard to get and in most cases 12-18 months to get one in your hands when ordering as the lists are so big with Chevy dealers across the country.

The one thing that might slow it down is when Chevrolet announces the production dates on the new C8 Z06 on October 26th, 2021.

Per his video description of C8 Corvette Prices

Buying a Corvette C8? Then this is the video to watch. In this depreciation and buying guide of the Corvette C8 I will show you how much Corvette prices changed in the last three months and what the current premiums are. Furthermore, I will show that we might be at the beginning of the end for the c8 price premiums. You can contact me at fourwheeltrader@gmail.com if you would like a personalized analysis. Following high demand and limited supply, Corvette C8 prices skyrocketed during last year. This uptrend continued during the last three months as the median price point increased even further by 4%. However, as this video will show you, the first signs of a trend change start to appear. First, we can observe that the upward price trend in the used car market came to an end. Used car prices didn’t increase during the last three months. Moreover, we can already see some price decreases at a more granular level. All of this is caused by an increase in used car supply and median mileage. Second, we can see that the price variation starts to decrease. Prices are less extreme and outliers are priced closer to the rest of the market. This usually signals that the market decided on the price. All of this fits within in the larger market trends. Wholesale prices continued to decrease during July and the average time in takes to sell a used car bottomed out. Yet, it’s unlikely that the C8 market will crash. It’s still the most popular car of the US and it’s sales numbers are miles ahead of the competition. Therefore, it’s more likely that prices will adjust gradually. Note that all the prices are advertised prices.

C8 Corvette E Ray Spotted! (Testing with Acura NSX)

Check out this video from Cars, Costs and Technology where he noticed the C8 Corvette E Ray in the C8 Corvette Z06 testing videos.

Also, there has been article after article recently talking about the C8 Corvette E Ray testing with the Acura NSX. The C8 Corvette E Ray will not have all the same specs, tires, motors as the C8 Z06 but it will be getting all wheel drive. And possibly faster than the C8 Z06 going 0 to 60 in 2 seconds.

The C8 Corvette E Ray is suppose to be a hybrid assist C8 Corvette while the C8 Corvette Zora will be full electric along with the C9 Corvette is our guess to be an all electric Corvette line up.

It makes a lot of sense to use an Acura NSX as a benchmark since it has two electric motors up front on each wheel and an electric motor on it’s V6 Twin Turbo set up that pushed out 573 HP and is all wheel drive.

This is the way cars are going as shown with the fastest production car in the world the Tesla Model S Plaid running 9.2 second quarter miles at 154 mph and is a 4 door family sedan with 3 electric 400HP motors providing 1020 horsepower to the wheel with Elon Musk sand bagging the rest of the horsepower with a software update.

Here’s the video of the C8 Corvette E Ray Spotted

The Stradman Reveals his Widebody C8 Corvette he is Building for SEMA

Check out these videos from James “The Stradman” on YouTube who is on his 2nd C8 Corvette. The first one he sold for $30k profit thinking C8 Corvette prices would come down but they never have.

However, he found another C8 Corvette that he is adding the Pandem Rocket Bunny C8 Corvette kit.

Here is a video of TheStradman revealing it before adding wheels and painting the kit fully rapid blue to match.

Revealing my Widebody C8 Corvette!!

Introducing my Finished Widebody C8 Corvette!!!

In this video in March 2022, TheStradman finally added C8 Corvette aftermarket wheels to his Widebody C8 Corvette that match the rapid blue paint and black section of the Pandem wide body kit.

Doesn’t look like theStradman lowered his C8 Corvette Widebody or put it on airbags or an airbag suspension like most C8 Corvette Widebody set ups do.
