Check out this video by Woman Driven on YouTube where she compares a C8 Corvette and a Shelby GT500 on the track at Exotics Racing in Las Vegas.
She mentions, the Chevy C8 Corvette and the Ford Shelby GT500 are two cars that I’ve been meaning to drive and test out. Driving the C8 and the GT500 on a road course, is likely the best way to get a feeling of the overall performance both of them have to offer. Let’s just say, one drove much better than the other.
Here is a real life review of a Corvette C8 from previous C7 Corvette Z06 owner Steven Cusson on YouTube.
Get his perspective on the good, bad, and ugly on the C8 Corvette vs. the Z06 C7 Corvette.

Also, here is a review of the Corvette C7 vs the C8 Corvette from CarMax
Per their article and video description of the C7 vs C8 Corvette review.
The Chevrolet Corvette has been an American sports car icon for over half a century. Historically the Corvette has always been one of the more affordable and usable sports cars on the road, and that appeal has helped make it one of the most popular performance cars in the world. If you’ve always dreamed of cruising down the highway in your very own Vette but worried it would break your bank account, the experts at Edmunds are here to help. Travis Langness and Elana Scherr take a closer look at two of the most recent Corvette variants to help you decide which one fits best in your budget and lifestyle. The two Corvettes reviewed in this video are the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. Even though these two Corvettes are only a year apart, the differences are significant. Redesigned for 2020, the Corvette Stingray (often referred to as the Corvette C8) has a completely different look and feel from the 2019 Corvette Z06 (known as the C7). But the biggest difference between these two sports cars is the engine. While the 2019 Corvette followed the classic under-the-hood front-engine layout, Chevrolet decided it needed to move to a mid-engine layout to enhance the car’s performance for 2020 and beyond. The new engine location — now behind the cabin — enhances the 2020 Corvette’s performance but does limit the rear visibility. Shoppers looking for high-performance sports cars have been flocking to the Chevy Corvette for decades. It’s an American automotive institution that has aged like fine wine. Which Corvette is the right choice for you? We’ll help you answer that question and more in our review of the 2019 and 2020 Chevrolet Corvette.
The last time Chevrolet launched new colors for the new mid engine Chevy C8 Corvette it was back in July, 2020 when they released the Red Mist and Silver Flare Metallic colors.
Now they released three new colors for the 2022 C8 Corvette Colors that will be available to order around July for ordering.

Also, we have more posts, videos, and sounds of different C8 Corvette catback exhausts here as well.
Considered the best in the business, my C8 gets the Fabspeed Valvetronic exhaust installed. Let me tell you this is INSANE! LOUD AF and exotic sounding. This is of course coupled with my 2M sport cats.
Check out this video of a 2021 Silver Flare Metallic C8 Corvette. This is the new Silver color General Motors and Chevrolet came out with for the 2021 Corvette C8.
In this video, you can really see how cool this color looks and how it changes based on the lighting hitting it.
This Silver Flare Metallic C8 Corvette is for sale at Hollywood Motors USA in West Babylon, NY and if you are interested in it (if its still available) or any C8 Corvette at Hollywood Motors USA’s inventory tell them C8CorvetteBlog.com sent you.
Check out this video by Cicio Performance where they go into a detail and explain how they created their Twin Turbo C8 Corvette with a piggy back Motec ECU and Extreme Turbo Systems Turbo kit set up and Dodson clutches.
We recently wrote about their 900 Horsepower Cicio Performance C8 Corvette when that racing channel did a video review as well.
Hey Guys! Were happy to announce that the Twin Turbo C8 package is now available from Cicio Performance!
This is one of the first purchasable twin turbo kits for the Corvette C8 that doesn’t compromise any of your OEM drivability/creature comforts.
We partnered with ETS to make this proprietary twin turbo kit the best it could possibly be. The car runs on a MoTec piggyback paired with the Dodson clutch upgrade and makes just over 850whp and 750tq.
We hope you enjoyed watching, subscribe for more of this weekly!

On this episode we feature Nathan Cicio’s Twin Turbo C8 Corvette! Normally when we’re hanging out with the Cicio Performance crew we’re talking incredibly fast street GTR’s making upwards of 2400WHP, this time we take an in-depth look at their new C8 shop car that’s pushing north of 900WHP on the factory engine.
They partnered with ETS to provide a bolt-on twin turbo solution for the C8 Corvette platform, the TRC team couldn’t get enough of it… the twin turbo V8 sounds and performance is intoxicating!
Check out this video made of Gabe Florido’s C8 Corvette which is one of the most popular C8 Corvettes on Instagram. He is the founder of the Car Lifestyle page on Instagram and he hooked up with SchwaaFilms to have this GTA style type video made of his C8 Corvette in Miami.
So while down in Miami for the R2R rally. I was able to meet up with my friend Gabe who owns CarLifestyle. If you guys remember, years ago I filmed his Camaro.
I’ve been wanting to shoot his C8 for a while, and since I was down in Miami I knew this was the perfect time. Unfortunately since I had spent 4-5 days on the rally shooting non stop, I didn’t have much energy left to go all out on this video.
But best believe there is going to be a part 2, night run video! This car looks sooooo good rolling on the road. Hope you guys enjoy the Miami vibes in this one!

Soul Performance was one of the first companies to make an aftermarket exhaust for the C8 Corvette thanks to StreetSpeed717 wanting the loudest exhaust possible.
Since then they have made high end quality sport cats and a straight piped cat back exhaust that was the same exhaust StreetSpeed717 put on his C8 Corvette.
Now Soul Performance just launched their Valved Exhaust for people that want to be able to switch to the the loudest C8 Corvette exhaust on the market and back to daily driving mode and a lot quieter tone. It’s starting at $4,195 and goes up to $4,395. Make sure you tell them C8CorvetteBlog.com sent you.
Check out their video and information on their C8 Corvette exhaust.
Our Valved Exhaust System and Sport Catalytic Converters offer increases in power and sound with no compromises or check engine lights.
Enjoy a respectable gain in V8 rumble, throttle response, and power for your C8 Corvette.
Available now: https://soulpp.com/product-category/c…
DEVELOPMENT GOALS -Improve upon the factory design to increase and refine the V8 tone.
-Increase the presence and character of the exhaust note in the cabin while maintaining a reasonable level of resonance / drone while driving in both the valves closed and open modes through our signature drone fighting capabilities.
-Heighten aggressiveness with valves open while maintaining an overall sound level potential / quality that can still be reasonably driven on the street in combination with other complimentary aftermarket exhaust components – such as Sport Catalytic Converters or headers.
-Offer the ability to notably reduce the sound level of the car outside to fly under the radar when necessary.
-Achieve an effective delta in sound between both modes for two usable, well engineered experiences – mild and wild. RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
With valves closed, the exhaust is routed through a bespoke SOUL chambered muffler we designed with an internal X-Pipe to meet our sound goals. This unique muffler was crafted to match our high standard of drone fighting mufflers that we are known for in the Porsche world. We tested a more traditional perforated core muffler design as well but the carefully engineered chambers of the final muffler result in a more aggressive sound on and off throttle with reduced undesirable tones.
With valves open, exhaust flow is free to exit through 3″ piping for a thunderous roar. Secondary flow through the muffler and x-pipe reduces rasp and smooths the exhaust note for a higher pitched, more refined sound. The end result is two distinct and enjoyable sound modes – mild and wild.
AFM valve deletes are included for the factory exhaust valves (designed to limit flow in four-cylinder mode) in order to delete them without triggering a check engine light. Due to the close proximity of the exhaust to sensitive components and plastic, heat shields are a MUST.
We’ve partnered with PTP Turbo Blankets to produce a bespoke, form-fitting heat shielding solution. Far superior to no-name brand copies, PTP Lava Turbo Blankets are constructed with an outer layer made from pulverized volcanic lava rock (Rated 1800°F Direct Heat / 2500°F Radiant Heat) formed into fabric and woven into a tight mesh weave. These blankets are internally insulated with high temperature calcium magnesium silicate wool (Rated 1832°F Continuous / 2300°F Peak) overlaid with a high temperature stainless steel mesh for increased durability and improved thermal resistance. The Lava Blankets are designed to withstand the harshest of conditions.
CONSTRUCTION: Each component is made in-house by our fabrication team from mandrel bent .060″ wall T304L stainless steel tubing, laser cut brackets, and waterjet cut flanges. Welds are back purged for proper penetration and maximum durability. Our 4″ double wall stainless steel tips are available in a number of finishes and have depth adjustment for perfect fitment to meet your desired aesthetic.
FINISHES: SOUL tips are available in several styles and finishes. Natural finishes options include polishing, hand-brushing, and a matte Signature Satin. Black tips are ceramic coated with Jet-Hot for maximum bonding strength and increased finish durability. Looking for something unique?
Contact us for custom logos and colors. HJS HD 200 CELL CATALYSTS: The highest quality catalytic converters available, known for their industry leading flow and durability. With their premium wash coat full of precious metals, they are efficient enough at catalyzing to meet strict EURO 4 emission standards while still allowing for an increase in flow – all without a check engine light.
The HD design uses a stout triple foil winding for maximum strength. The brazing stripe is an extra feature in the interest of durability – it prevents the core from moving or experiencing any damage from sustained high horsepower abuse. We use a large and appropriately sized catalyst to allow for maximum gains – the same cats tested and proven on our McLaren and Porsche Turbo applications for big horsepower support.
BOLT ON AND GO: Each exhaust component is built and tested in a thick gauge aluminum fixture (which prevents warping) to ensure perfect fitment. Every piece is rigorously quality-checked prior to shipping and then foam packed to ensure they arrive in perfect condition. LIFETIME
WARRANTY: Enjoy your SOUL exhaust components with confidence on both the street and track as they are covered by our Lifetime Warranty!
