Gabe Florido of Car Lifestyle C8 Corvette GTA Miami Vibe by SchwaaFilms

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.

Per Schwaa Films Video description of the C8 Corvette

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!

C8 Corvette E-Ray Faster than C8 Corvette Z06?

MotorTrend has an article talking about the C8 Corvette E-Ray possibly being faster then the C8 Corvette Z06. However, its kind of misleading because possibly it will be faster from a launch from 0 to 60 with hybrid assist motors in the front similar to an Acura NSX.

It will most likely not be faster than a C8 Corvette Z06 overall but perhaps faster then the base C8 Corvette Stingray Z51 base model.

A YouTuber that covers most of the corvette news found on Corvette Blogger or other automotive blogs like ours HorsePower Obsessed covers this story as well as the C8 Corvette wheel issue and possibly a new C8 Corvette SUV that Chevrolet and General Motors is working on.

General Motors No Longer Accepting 2021 C8 Corvette Orders

If you have been watching “C8 Corvette” YouTube lately you will notice channel after channel talking about Chevrolet and General Motors not accepting 2021 Chevrolet Corvette orders until at least June or July which will make any outstanding orders the 2022 model year.

What’s crazy is the C8 is argued back and forth whether its a super car or not and how its marked up already due to supply and demand and this makes it even more exotic with only 2,700 C8 Corvettes being produced in 2020 due to the UAW strike and Covid. While the C8 Corvette was the fastest selling car in February 2021 AGAIN with a higher average transaction price (over 85k!)

Now with no more 2021 orders they maybe will have 7500 units out there making inventory even lower than expected.

Looks like they are going to stay marked up as Chevy Dude pointed out recently selling Used C8s marked up and saying its taking 24 months now from order to get your car.

Its going to take until at least 2022 for the C8 Z06 to come out and for the current owners to start trading them in and for production to resume as normal for C8 Corvettes to end up on lots and for to be able to get them for under 100k.

NO MORE SOLD 2021 CORVETTE ORDERS ~WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?!

Rick Corvette Conti started the no more 2021 C8 Corvette news here:

Today’s Upload, having the business conversation regarding a recent GM memo about 2021 ordering and NO LONGER allowing Sold Order entry

 

Then Brink of Speed YouTube jumped on..

Soul Performance Launches New C8 Corvette Valved Exhaust

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!

TWIN-TURBO C8 Corvette testing in PLAIN SIGHT! *LT7 ZR1*

Check out this video by YouTuber Brink of Speed where he shares why he thinks of the recently spotted test mule C8 Corvettes could be a Twin Turbo for the C8 Corvette Zr1 or C8 Corvette Z06.

Per Brink of Speed’s C8 Corvette Twin Turbo Zr1 Z06 video

These are exciting times, ladies and gentlemen, and I’m more than excited to bring you this content. I have teamed up with @Corvette_Ron_Himself to bring this breaking story about a Twin-turbo C8 that has been testing in plain sight, right in front of our noses. Let me know your feedback in the comments below ladies and gentlemen.

There have been many YouTubers that have already built their own Twin Turbo C8 Corvettes that we have reported on our C8 Corvette News site C8CorvetteBlog.com.

For example Emelia Hartford’s 1000 horsepower C8 Corvette Twin Turbo set up and Extreme Turbo Systems 9 second quarter mile Twin Turbo C8 Corvette too.

IMSA Corvette C8.R But With A Misfire So It Sounds More Badass

Check out this video from Lanky Turtle on YouTube of the C8R Corvette Race Car at the IMSA event.

If the C8 Corvette Z06 or C8 Corvette ZR1 is anything like this its going to be an exotic killer even more then it is now as the base model.

Per his video on the IMSA C8.R Corvette

The #4 Corvette C8.R suffered an engine issue early in the 12 Hours of Sebring but was still able to complete the race.
