Check out the Revs and ride along in this C8 Corvette that has ETS Extreme Turbo Systems Exhaust and Soul Performance Sport Cats.
The reason he couldn’t launch it is because he wasn’t holding the brake down hard enough. Once you do then it will rev to 3,500 RPMs and launch correctly. Here’s more information and videos on how to use launch control in the C8 Corvette.
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.
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:
Carbon Flash Badges were the most popular with 91.6% of the cars. The Z51 package was selected on 76%. 3LT was the most popular package with 46.4%. Front Lift was opted for on 58.4% of the cars while performance exhaust (NPP) is on 89.2%. The GT2 seats were the most popular pick with 61.6%. Painted Carbon Flash Open Spoke Wheels were the most popular with 41.7%, closely followed by the Bright Silver Open Spoke with 36.9%. The National Corvette Museum will have delivered 943 Corvettes for the 2020 model year.

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

You can tell it has at least a cat back exhaust and has aftermarket C8 Corvette Wheels as well. It looks likes it has a satin white wrap on it too.
Any guesses on the Exhaust or Wheels leave a comment below? Kind of looks like Late Model Racecraft cat back exhaust and sounds like it too.

As we wrote about before Cordes Performance Racing in Tempe, AZ built a custom cat back exhaust for their C8 Corvette order that they recently cancelled. In the meantime @Pluugd on Instagram was rocking their custom cat back exhaust that I have seen in person and it looks and sounds great.
He recently purchased my Fabspeed Cat Bypass pipes I also wrote about months ago that through multiple check engine lights which is one of the reasons I switched to Soul Performance Sport Cats.
Here is a video of Cordes Performance Racing showing the new sound the Fabspeed cat bypass pipes added to their custom cat back exhaust for the Corvette C8.
Check out this Bagged C8 Corvette owned by Alex Lawn Toxic Garages on Instagram with new Rohana Wheels.
This video is very well done and these new wheels and lowering the C8 Corvette is must!
If you lower your C8 Corvette and add some aftermarket wheels like these Rohana Wheels or other aftermarket wheels we have talked about it will make your C8 Corvette look a lot nicer!
