If you been watching the C8 Corvette market like we have from the beginning you know one of the top automotive influencers Gabe Design on Instagram that built the Car Lifestyle page sold his Camaro and built a new C8.
Here is a video of Gabe Design’s C8 Corvette vs. a Ferrari F8 that another automotive influencer on Youtube Dragtimes brought out to run it.
Also, since our last post about Gabe Design C8 he added RSC Tuning Carbon Fiber Wing Spoiler to his C8 Corvette. Do you like that Carbon Fiber wing better or the high wing spoiler seen here on a Satin Matte Black Wrapped C8 Corvette we built? (Leave a comment)
If you watch automotive YouTube you might of noticed a trend that Chevy Dude noticed as well below in this video. He discusses how StreetSpeed717, Stradman, Cleetus and other YouTubers are selling their C8s for a nice 20-30k profit in most cases and how they are selling the C8s since its a business and hard to generate content when everyone is doing the same thing and the ECU isn’t unlocked.
For example, StreetSpeed717 rushed to get it Twin Turbo-ed, wrapped, rims, exhaust and then was offered $120k for his C8 3LT that he paid about 90k for. Also, he has another C8 on the way, the convertible C8 from Whitmoyer Chevy so he can use that profit towards his next one while waiting the next 3 to 4 months to get it.
As a C8 owner as well hence the C8 Corvette Blog we built we have also thought about selling but there really is no alternative to this car and we are going to wait for the C8 Z06 instead in the 2022 model and end of 2021 year.
From the video:
All the famous YouTubers who bought C8’s are selling or have already sold their Corvettes. We know Cleetus stated he sold his for the freedom factory improvements. But is this the real reason? We discuss that and more in this video. Including if I a following the trend of listing mine for sale.
When installing Headers on your C8 you don’t have to remove the back bumper or wheel well lining. However, you can access the lower bolts if it’s on a lift.

As we talked about before about C8 Corvette mark up and pricing its all supply and demand and some people in the market for a McLaren, Ferrari, Porsche, or Lamborghini are now looking at C8 Corvettes even with mark ups as a better value then these 150K+ cars go for.

I arrived at Corvettes at Carlisle this afternoon, said “hi” to Mike Furman and our friends from Spring Mountain Motor Resort/Ron Fellows Performance Driving School, checked out Mike Furman’s 2020 Corvette Coupe, and then found Al & Andrea showing off their newly delivered 2020 Corvette Hard Top Convertible (HTC). Al talked with me about their new Corvette and allowed me to check out the top and rear window operation, engine access, and other elements of the new HTC. Thanks to Al & Andrea for taking time to share their new Corvette with us! My apologies for the wind noise during the interview. The wind was blowing so hard that organizers asked people to either stake their tents or take them down.
