You can take a look at our previous C8 Corvette build here.
However, since it’s been a year and we wanted to change it up we just started the process of a new C8 Corvette build that includes the Super Gloss Chalk Grey Inozetek Wrap you see below.
Removed the Soul Performance Straight Pipe Cat back (still have their Sport Cats which we will be keeping on). Their straight pipe cat back is the loudest C8 Corvette exhaust we have heard by far. I changed it out because I drive the C8 Corvette daily (and its too loud for that lol) and the check engine light kept coming on because of the AFM valves which I’m not sure if it was the shop’s fault that installed it or not. There is a way to trick the AFM valves now with this module from Cicio Performance.
As we wrote about back in November, 2020 Procharger is releasing a supercharger for the C8 Corvette that boosts horsepower by 225+ HP in testing.
That’s over 700 Horsepower for the C8 Corvette base model stingray Z51 package and our guess more the C8 Z06 will produce from the factory when General Motors and Chevrolet start production and selling the C8 Z06 in 2022.
If you love the C8 Corvette as much as we do and willing to put out 10-13k for this Procharger Supercharger for the C8 Corvette plus what it costs to install from a local performance shop in your area you can basically get C8 Z06 performance with your current C8 Corvette stingray!
Here is what Procharger said in a recent blog post and if you read the comments in the latest video below you will see they are really close to taking orders and launching this bad boy.
Track Testing with the ProCharger Supercharged C8 Corvettes
HAVING ONE COMPANY R&D CAR IS GOOD, BUT TWO…OH SO BETTER!
Data, Data, and more Data…it’s what testing is all about here at ProCharger superchargers. And what better way to get that done, than to have DOUBLE the amount of data with two company-owned C8 Corvettes for our engineering teams to use on the street, the dyno, and the track. In this week’s blog post we will tease you with a great video of the sights and sounds from the latest road course adventure. Without more delay, let’s get to the video and the details!
TAKING ORDERS NOW, FOR THOSE TO BE FIRST TO SUPERCHARGE!
ProCharger was the very first supercharger manufacturer to offer intercooled kits for C7, C6, C5, and C4 Corvettes, so it’s no surprise that we are at the forefront of development on a supercharger kit for the 2020 C8! Thanks to the engineers at ProCharger, you can now add 225+ more horsepower to an otherwise stock C8 Corvette (including stock exhaust). That’s right, the car that is already making waves with the performance numbers coming from its LT2 now can get a major boost in performance.

Per the Corvette Museum the most popular build was the coupe and the most popular color of the C8 Corvette was Torch Red. That makes a lot of sense since that was the color of the C8 Corvette Unveil car in July 2019.
Also, although Rapid Blue is a favorite color of most C8 Corvette owners and in the C8 Corvette Forums dealers told people if they ordered a Rapid Blue C8 Corvette it could delay the order even before Covid or UAW strike hit and already delayed everything.
Here are the C8 Corvette build stats per Corvette Museum
Though production of the 2020 Corvette is expected to continue through early December, with order changes no longer being allowed the team at GM was able to go ahead and release the final stats.
Coupe was the most popular of the two models available with 82.4% of the 20,368 total 2020s produced. As for color line up, Torch Red was the most popular for 2020 with 25% of the cars in that hue. The complete final color line up is as follows:
Torch Red (25%)
Arctic White (15%)
Black (11.7%)
Sebring Orange (6.8%)

UPDATE:
Here is a video going over the 2020 C8 Corvette Final Production Numbers and Stats
The National Corvette Museum has released a full summary of the final production numbers for the 2020 C8 Corvette.
This summary includes details on the popular colors and options for the 2020 model year. We’ve also received confirmation that the 2020 model year production will end on December 7th. This is great news for anyone waiting on their 2021 C8 Corvette to be built!
Check out this video of a brand new C8 Corvette that sells for $370,000 at Barrett Jackson for the Charity HeartStrings.

Check out this video by Brink of Speed on YouTube where he walks you through the new 2021 C8 Corvette Configuration tool on Chevrolet.com
Per his video:
Today I’m super excited to talk with you about the latest 2021 C8 News. I will first walk you through the new 2021 Chevrolet configuration program, and I think you all are going to love it. Plus, I will talk about your 2021 orders finally making it to GM, and what that means to you about taking delivery of your C8.
Check out this video by Liberty Drives on YouTube as he covers the new C8 Corvette E-Ray or the C8 E Ray which is rumored to be an electric C8 Corvette vs. the C8 Grand Sport.
Per Liberty Drives:
We all knew sooner or later Chevrolet would make a hybrid C8 Corvette for their E-Ray name. Now there are spy shots and videos out of the test mule for the car and info on when we can expect trims like the E-Ray and Zora. Let me know what you think of the E-Ray replacing the Grand Sport down in the comments. I was a fan of the Grand Sports but I think this makes sense for the lineup.
Check out this video from Horsepower Obsessed showing the difference in horsepower gained from the Attack Blue Air Filter upgrade on the C8 Corvette. This Attack Blue Air Filet was designed and created by TKO performance that has a history of creating this high performance long lasting air filters even for the C7 Corvettes.
Per the Dyno it gained 12 Horsepower on top of being made in the USA and not having to pay a little less from a Chevy Dealership to use a paper crappy air filter.
Some other mods like Sport Cats or Headers which are in 1000s maybe increased horsepower by 20+ horsepower on the C8 Corvette.
So in this case the Attack Blue Air Filters for the C8 Corvette are definitely worth adding to any C8 Corvette and its easy to install yourself.
It’s a no brainer to get one of these Nanofiber Performance Attack Blue Air Filters.
