Is Jake headed to IndyCar?
Marshall Pruett of Racer.com says that Pratt Miller Motorsports, the team behind Corvette Racing, arguably one of the most successful sports car racing teams in the world, is seriously considering adding an IndyCar entry in the next few years.
![[VIDEO] Corvette MSRP Trim Pricing for the 2024 Model Year Is Now Out](https://www.corvetteblogger.com/images/content/2023/071323_11b.jpg)
Earlier today we were able to drop some nuggets on the pricing for 2024 Corvettes, and it seems like each hour brings us another tidbit.
Earlier today, we learned about the ZER Performance Package being offered at $500 and also have all the wheel pricing for the upcoming hybrid-performance model. We also found out that the R8C Museum Delivery program is seeing a substantial increase of $500 and will now cost $1,495.
This afternoon, we got the info on what we really have been after, which is the trim pricing for each of the three models. Thanks to our friend Rick ‘Corvette’ Conti, we have those figures to share as well.
While our friends at Ciocca Corvette of Atlantic City may no longer be the World’s Largest Corvette Dealership, they still remain one of the best places to purchase a new Corvette according to Chevrolet. The automaker has recently bestowed “Dealer of the Year” honors for the Chevy store for 2022, and there was a celebration held earlier this week for the staff as Chevrolet dropped off the new hardware and banner.
The times, they are a changing!
That’s the first line that popped into my head this morning as we got an advance look at the pricing schedule for the 2024 Corvettes. Specifically, our eyes slightly bulged as we read that R8C Deliveries at the National Corvette Museum are going up 50% and will now be priced at $1,495.
We’ve still got a couple of days before the pricing for the 2024 Corvette models are expected to drop officially, but I just had an interesting email pop up in the mailbox with some new pricing info for the 2024 Corvette E-Ray.

As we inch closer to the start of the 2024 Corvette model year, many are believing that next year’s Corvettes will come with a healthy price increase. 2024 will be the fifth year of production for the Corvette Stingray and the second year for the Z06, along with the introduction of the new 2024 Corvette E-Ray.
The fine folks at Car and Driver recently published their first big comparison test of the Summer, and it’s a doozy! That’s right, the publication that doesn’t quite know which way the Ukrainian flag goes recently wrangled the two most enthusiast-centric cars of this generation – the C8 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and the 992-Generation Porsche 911 GT3. Once in possession of these final torch-bearers of high-revving naturally aspirated goodness, they embarked on a road (and track) trip to their favorite southern Ohio roads and back to Michigan for some hot laps at the 2.1-mile GingerMan Raceway.

The “Old Timers” may take a little longer to get the job done, but don’t they look sharp going down the drag strip?
The funny guys at the Cars and Zebras channel on YouTube recently shared these drag races between a couple of unlikely “old geezers” – a 1974 Corvette and a super rare 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Pace Car.

When you purchase a new C8 Corvette Stingray or Z06, you are automatically granted a voucher to attend the two-day Corvette Owner’s School at Spring Mountain Motor Report and Country Club in Pahrump, Nevada which is about an hour west of Las Vegas. That voucher is good for one year and your cost to attend is just $1,000. If you don’t take advantage of it, you are really short-changing your Corvette driving experience as you will learn all about controlling these high performance sports cars on the safe confines of a track as opposed to on the street, and the lessons learned there can be applied to any driving situation.
Last year during the Corvettes at Carlisle show, our friends at Callaway Cars revealed they were finally working on a supercharged version of the C8 Corvette Stingray and they showed off a 2.3-liter TripleCooled Supercharger system featuring a roots-type Eaton TVS2300 topping the Stingray’s LT2 V8 engine. Callaway stated at the time that production would start sometime in 2023 and they began collecting $1000 deposits from interested customers.
