Check out this video by RDB LA as they widebody a C8 Corvette for a customer. They also added their RDB LA wheels and had to do a bunch of custom body shop work on the widebody kit from Sigala as it didn’t fit that good from the beginning.
We been covering the RDB LA Widebody C8 Corvette since the beginning of June 2021 when they first did a video about the start of the C8 Corvette widebody build project.
This C8 Corvette project went through the ropes, we had lots of issues with this one as the bodykit was a “prototype” and wouldn’t fit very well. Massive labor went into it to get it to fit properly with no issues after paint. We are finally happy with it (still missing the suspension due to supplier backorder) and get to show you this wild ride. Its Sebring Orange and features GOLD RDB Wheels! Lots more in this episode as we are ALWAYS working on big projects and finishing them daily!
Check out this video by the Dobre brothers on their Dobre Cars channel where they have a 1000 horsepower Lamborghini Aventador and a C8 Corvette race a Tesla Model S Plaid.
The C8 Corvette driver Sarah wouldn’t say how much horsepower and although it has a great launch even stock the Tesla Plaid is just a beast for anything in the streets other than the 2.4 million dollar Rimac.
Model S Plaid vs 1000hp Lamborghini vs Corvette C8
In the video you can see the C8 Corvette has a great launch but dies during the runs. Although it probably is modded with exhaust or bolt ons it doesn’t look like a 1000 horsepower C8 Corvette.
Check out this video from Speed Phenom where he takes delivery of a new 2022 C8.R Edition Corvette that has the sticker package and plaque and he possibly finds a hint to the new C8 Z06 RPM display?
Recently, Rick Corvette Conti said he has seen the engine, interior and some new features too was this what he was hinting at too?
You can see now in the video when in this new Track Display mode it tells you when to shift and goes from Green, Yellow to Red for the shift points.
If you click “numerical” in the tachometer Track mode you can see the RMP gauge giving the exact RPM real time read out. And when you start driving it will show you the shift points. This could be a preview into the new C8 Z06 numerical RPM tachometer display.
IS THIS Z06 MODE? SECRET 2022 C8 CORVETTE RACE DISPLAY FOUND! | POV

Chevrolet just revealed the 2023 C8 Corvette Z06 BASE model on Twitter and Instagram and we are seeing mixed messages from potential customers and Corvette fans online.
Also, Chevrolet is really teasing the new C8 Z06 since we all know from the Nurburgring videos of the C8 Z06 that there are going to be variants and a track focused C8 Z06 with a bird like wing with a Z07 package.
It will be interesting to see what happens on October 26th when we get to see every C8 Z06 variant and option including the details of the flat plane crank engine, C8 Z06 convertible, performance numbers, C8 Z06 colors, and possible weight reduction with a magnesium DCT.

In this video from Cars, Costs and Technology on his take on C8 Corvette Pricing. Do you think he is right and the C8 Corvette pricing will come down?
He does say its going to hold it’s value and thinks it will stay above what you paid for it but thinks the 25-30k mark ups are going to go away. Funny enough we posted about the C8 Z06 is going to be marked up as researched from us personally and by one of Speed Phenom’s videos. And most dealers have lists of over 1000 people wanted a C8 Z06 and again is going to be hard to get and marked up.
The most we seen in an email from a Chevy dealer is they are going to mark up a C8 Corvette Z06 $200,000. And most are saying they will mark it up $25-$50k. There are only a few dealers like Ciocca Corvette, Macmulkin, Criswell, and Whitmoyer that are selling at MSRP but there wait times and lists are so long it can take a year or more to get it at that price.
So not really sure how much the C8 Corvette pricing will come down if at all in the next year since its going to be hard to get a C8 Z06 and the production levels of the C8 Corvette is still a lot lower than the C7 Corvettes. And C7 Corvettes are still selling for high prices with the used car market, inflation, strike, plant closures, and chip shortages. There really hasn’t been any sign from Chevy or General Motors they are going to double production. And the C8 Z06 is just going to create even more buzz for the brand and people wanting to get a C8 Corvette even if they can’t get the C8 Z06.
2023 C8 Corvette Z06 Pricing
Recently we posted another article about the 2023 C8 Corvette Z06 pricing starting at $88,000 based on a build sheet which is close to two Chevy dealers saying it was going to start at $87,000. Read more here and watch these videos.
However we will have the C8 Corvette Z06 Pricing by the end of March 2022 which has been speculated to start in $87,995 to $92,995 range for the base model C8 Z06 vs the C8 Corvette Z06 Z07 package with the carbon fiber wheels and all of the carbon fiber options.

Per their video description of the Ferrada Wheels for the C8 Corvette
Does it get any better than having the new C8 on bags, but fitted with the perfect set of aggressive, concave CM2’s. This combination will continue to break necks. #ferradawheels#c8corvette
