Check out this C8 Corvette that ran 10.5 in the quarter mile at Atco Drag Way in Atco, NJ on all Motor!
EFX Tuning has prepped this C8 Corvette with a set of Xtreme CFM Ported Heads, American Racing Headers & Exhaust, Brisk Racing Spark Plugs, Mighty Mouse Solutions Catch Can, and Mickey Thompson Drag Radials.
With no tuning options available yet for the C8 they have kept the stock camshaft and made the best with what they have. While most shops tried to turbo C8s, EFX Tuning went with a real world approach, and so far have been succeeding!
Although it has been documented that the C8 Corvette top speed is 194mph and 184 mph with the high wing spoiler causing drag check out this video of YouTuber MD Beyond Cars going close to 180MPH in a C8 Corvette!
If you want to lower your Corvette C8 one of the ways to do so is with KW’s new coilover Suspension they built specifically for the C8 Corvette.
Per KW’s video below:
KW is proud to announce the all-new Variant 5 Coilover Suspension System designed around the demands of today’s modern sport and supercars. The Variant 5 is the first four way adjustable coilover kit for road cars on the market with leading state-of-the-art KW Solid Piston Technology. The new C8 Corvette will experience the upgrade in the ride, handling, and performance with the new KW Variant 5 Coilover.
KW’s solid piston design in each Variant 5 Coilover reduces the amount of uncontrolled and unwanted suspension movement. This solid piston design also provides more platform to the chassis than conventional dampers, allowing a lower spring rate to be used, giving more overall compliance and superior handling.
The all-new Variant 5 Coilover also features precise 4-way dampening adjustment capabilities. When you’re looking to lower and improve your vehicle’s suspension, having rebound and compression adjustment is great, but having the ability to fine-tune your suspension movements at different speeds is even better. KW took the Variant 5 Coilover to a whole new level with high speed and low-speed tunability. High speed refers to suspension travel and events that the Coilover itself experiences very quickly, such as a sharp corner or a hard launch from a stop. Low-speed events refer to suspension movements that happen at a slower, more gradual pace, such as large sweeping corners or gradual acceleration. Having the ability to adjust high and low-speed suspension dampening independently, gives you unprecedented handling, performance, and control. This means every acceleration, steering movement, or braking event is tunable and precise.
The high and low-speed valves in every Variant 5 Coilover are built in a series, and each valve in the circuit is tuned to the respective vehicle application. With 13 clicks of high and low-speed rebound and compression adjustability, the Variant 5 Coilover offers an incredible range of desired forces in a more sensitive, cavitation-free package that responds immediately at high frequency.
KW Variant 5 Coilovers provide you with lowering capability, improved handling, and more adjustability all in one package.
The KW Variant 5 Coilovers feature: – Up to 35mm of lowering – Trapezoidal Thread with composite spring perch – 13 Clicks of Low-Speed Rebound Damping Adjustment – 13 Clicks of High-Speed Rebound Damping Adjustment – 13 Clicks of Low-Speed Compression Damping Adjustment – 13 Clicks of High-Speed Compression Damping Adjustment – SPRLH-A (Solid Piston Rebound Low High – Adjustable) Technology – SPCLH-A (Solid Piston Compression Low High – Adjustable) Technology – Limited Lifetime Warranty
Rapid Blue C8 Corvette goes from Showroom to Late Model Racecraft for their High Flow Cats and Cat Back Exhaust.
Also, you can see their is a speed limiter on the C8 Corvette at 102 MPH when the front lift is left up. However, normally when you drive the C8 Corvette it automatically lowers if you have the front lift at about 10 MPH.
Per their video:
We get a Rapid Blue C8 delivered to us straight from the dealership with the intent of receiving our complete exhaust system which includes high flow cats and our catback exhaust! Our system not only makes these cars sound like true sports car after install, but you also gain a solid 20rwhp and 20rwtq across the power band.
Check out this video from HorsePower Obsessed on YouTube where he reviews the Blaque Diamond Wheels we talked about before when another YouTuber the Redliner added the Black Diamond Wheels to his Sebring Orange C8 Corvette.
If you love corvettes one person you have to follow on YouTube and Instagram is StreetSpeed717. StreetSpeed717 (Mike Hyssong (per road and track below)) built his channel because of his hard work, gopro skills, love of cars, and Corvettes!
Here is a video of StreetSpeed717’s 1000+ horsepower C7 ZR1 build he got done at Late Model Racecraft. Late Model Racecraft in Texas is StreetSpeed717’s go to performance shop for all his corvettes currently as a few other corvette performance shops he used locally in Pennsylvania where he lives didn’t work out.
StreetSpeed717 Net Worth
Our educated guess with videos below from him showing many times how much he makes we will go with at least 2 million in net worth.
Based on StreetSpeed717 saying he makes about $80k on average per car giveaway with Inshane Designs, 30-50k per month from YouTube Ad revenues, and the ability to buy 5 to 6 cars at a time like it’s nothing including a Lamborghini Urus and a $800k+ Lamborghini Aventador we would guess it’s at least 2 million in net worth.
He recently went house hunting with his soon to be wife Gina as well and they also are buying a vacation house in the Outerbanks of North Carolina. Again he’s very transparent on YouTube and Instagram about all of this. As well as having a house custom built in the summer of 2022.
And now Mike and Gina have their own “Family style” vlog to gain even more YouTube ad revenue and other sponsorship or giveaway opportunities down the line along with diversification with StreetSpeed717’s income.
StreetSpeed717 Girlfriend, Fiancé, Wife Gina
StreetSpeed717’s girlfriend and soon to be wife is Gina Colada. Mike and Gina have a separate YouTube Channel and videos that show their life, vacations, family, dogs etc..
Gina Colada is the owner of “Frenchie’s Bakery” a play on their love for French bulldogs and bulldogs in general.
Mike StreetSpeed717 recently bought his girlfriend and soon to be wife Gina a Lamborghini Urus as well.
StreetSpeed717 C8 Corvette
StreetSpeed717 Mike was one of the first to get a C8 Corvette thanks to the hook up he has with his buddy Matt Beaver at Whitmoyer Chevrolet. And he is set to be the first allocation for the C8 Corvette Z06 from Matt Beaver at Whitmoyer Chevy as well.
As soon as order are allowed to hit the system the Beav has StreetSpeed717’s corvette C8 or any corvette order ready to hit good old Bowling Green Kentucky with some Pennsylvania Corvette order love.
Once Mike Streetspeed717 got his C8 Corvette with another YouTuber TJ Hunt he wrapped it Rapid Blue since Rapid Blue was a color that could of stopped him from getting his Corvette C8 so quick since it was one of those colors the Bowling Green, KY plant wasn’t going to do right away.
Here are some StreetSpeed717 C8 Corvette videos before he had it shipped to Late Model Racecraft in Texas for months on end getting Twin Turbos installed.
Mike StreetSpeed717 has been on a tear with Car Giveaways with Inshane Designs. He noticed the trend with companies like Omaze, 80Eighty, and just social media influencers in general using Car Giveaways to make money, sell merch, and get more views, likes, comments and engagement on their social media profiles or YouTube Videos.
In several YouTube videos StreetSpeed717 mentioned he has made about $80,000 on a car giveaway after splitting it with Inshane Designs, paying for the car, and any expenses on mods they do to the car giveaway.
The car giveaways are a win win for StreetSpeed717 because it helps his channel, brand, and makes him another $50-80k per every 2 months or so which is usually the average car giveaway contest time. This is why we included this new revenue stream in his net worth above as well.
That adds another $250k-$500k easy to his net worth each year.
He also did a C8 Corvette giveaway that had some nice Carbon Fiber parts on it as well as Brixton Forge Wheels.
UPDATE: We Do What To StreetSpeed717’s Twin Turbo C8?!?!
Check out this video from Late Model Racecraft where they put StreetSpeed717’s back to stock for sale and removing the whole Twin Turbo system.
In a York County, Pennsylvania court appearance on Tuesday, the YouTuber, Michael Hyssong, was ordered to pay $53,000 in restitution to repair damages done to the creek during his stunt driving in the video mentioned above, as well as several other videos published to his YouTube channel showing him driving the Ram through the creek.
“I had no idea it was illegal to drive through a creek,” Hyssong told the York Daily Record. “I’m an outdoors guy. I hike and I’ve never even littered in my life. I’m not the type to destroy natural resources.”
Hyssong was also accepted into Pennsylvania’s Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition Program (ARD), a “pre-trial diversion program for individuals with limited or no prior record” that focuses on community service, according to the official Chester County, Pennsylvania website. Should Hyssong complete the program within a year, his record will be wiped clean.
YouTuber Street Speed 717, whose real name is Mike Hyssong, has been posting videos of the TRX ever since purchasing the truck in January. In total, Hyssong posted nine videos of the TRX documenting its destruction and sale. It appears that selling the truck didn’t get him out of trouble with the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, though, who caught wind of his viral videos as it readied charges against him related to his YouTube antics.
StreetSpeed717 Getting a C8 Corvette Z06
In this video Streetspeed717 goes to Landers McLarty Chevrolet in Alabama to order a second C8 Corvette Z06 and see one of the C8 Z06 Dealer tour cars.
