Check out this video from Speed Phenom where he takes is track driven 25,000 mile 2LT C8 Corvette to Carmax and see what he is offered.
It’s actually pretty insane after being low balled by come Chevy Dealers in the 60-70k range because of the high mileage. Does Carmax go even lower?
He has a 2022 C8R Edition C8 Corvette coming and already had a 600LT Mclaren as well so its time for him to sell his C8 Corvette he received at the Corvette Museum and drove across the country to California.
We actually posted a Carmax C8 Corvette offer back in October 2020 so you can see the difference almost a year later the two offers. The other one was a 1LT C8 Corvette.

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!
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.
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.

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.
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.
BROKE MY C8 Corvette! (C8 Corvette Axle Breaks)
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.

Check out this video from SOS Customz as they reveal the first ever production StreetHunter C8 designed by the team of TJ Hunt.
We have been following the TJ Hunt Street Hunter C8 Corvette Wide Body Kit since the beginning as you can see here and here.
They have been working finishing this C8 Corvette wide body kit since December 2020. If you go to their “C8 Corvette” collection the only thing available is the front splitter as of this post.
Next they mention they are going to add an airbag suspension to be able to raise and lower this wide body C8 Corvette. TJ Hunt said as soon as it lowered and bagged and they take photos they will be selling it first come first serve and only had about 5 kits available.
Check out this video review and comparison from Speed Phenom on YouTube where he compares his two personal cars a 600LT McLaren vs. the C8 Corvette.
He tests the C8 Corvette vs the McLaren 0-60 and launch control in each car. The are rated at about 0 to 60 in the 2.8 and 2.9 range and they are both on 305 20s on the rear tires.
Check out the results of the C8 Corvette vs McLaren in his video below.
Check out this video from Gabe Rolf Cars and his update on his new transmission, AC repair, and cats. It cost over $26,000 to fix the AC compressor, transmission, and cats. It cost him only $16.00 since everything was under warranty of course.
If you want to see more of his C8 Corvette videos you are going to be disappointed he’s now going to sell his C8 Corvette while the market is hot and after experiencing these issues.

There is a a lot of speculation and hope for GM and Chevrolet to come out with more exotic looking colors for the C8 Z06.
Some of the colors C8 Corvette owners keep asking for is a bright or acid green color which is a very popular Lamborghini known as Verde Mantis.
If you are an avid Corvette fan you might want to plan ahead and get your Corvette parts and accessories that will suit the anticipated colors.
In the last year they launched Amplify Orange, Caffeine Metallic, Hypersonic Gray. The only color of the 3 that might stand out is the Hypersonic gray but they already had Shadow Metallic Grey, Ceramic Matric Grey, and Silver Flare. Also, they already had a Zeus Bronze and Sebring Orange so these 3 new C8 Corvette Colors for the 2022 C8 Corvette really aren’t that outside the box.
In this video from Brink of Speed on YouTube besides an exotic green like Lamborghini, Porsche, and McLaren offer he mentions an exotic purple which would be cool and then orange again which really they have already went that route twice now.
UPDATE Nov 24th, 2021: 2023 New C8 Z06 Colors Carbon Flash Black and Pearl White
In this video HorsePower Obsessed on YouTube goes over someone spotting two new C8 Corvette Z06 colors in a display case at the LA Auto Show recently and it isn’t Green or Purple as everyone hoped for.
It’s actually a color that General Motors and Chevrolet have done in the past and that currently use on their Cadillac brand of cars and trucks.
Its pearl white and carbon flash metallic black. Now the only question seems to be what two colors will they get rid of since they usually stick to 12 paint colors for the C8 Corvette vs 14 colors if they added these two.
