We’ve been inundated with the sights and sounds of the 2023 Corvette Z06 at the Nurburgring this week and it’s only Wednesday! But I’m thinking this quick 4-minute video might be the best one we’ve watched yet. Not only do we see both the base and Z06/Z07 models at the infamous Green Hell, but we finally get to watch the cars go around the most famous corner on the 12.9-mile Nordschleife – the Carousel.
Is there any car selling right now in America that’s as hot as the Chevrolet Corvette? It doesn’t seem to matter whether they are new, pre-owned, or classics, Corvette enthusiasts have seemingly been making up for lost time by finally bringing home the Corvette of their dreams.
One of the dealers doing their best to fulfill those Corvette Dreams is Corvette Mike in Anaheim, California! We visited the online inventory from one of the nation’s top resellers of classic and modern-day Corvettes and found three highly collectible Corvettes that we would love to own. Check out our three favorites that are available for sale right now!
“The World’s Largest Corvette Dealer” will again be participating in Corvettes at Carlisle August 26-28, but it’ll be going by a new name.
Kerbeck Chevrolet in Atlantic City has earned that title for the past 27 years, but the dealership is now known as Ciocca Corvette after the Kerbeck brothers sold out earlier this year to Ciocca, the owner of multiple dealerships in the mid-Atlantic region.
A 1963 Corvette Sting Ray split window coupe – owned since 2011 by the late Rush drummer, Neil Peart – sold for more than double the estimated price during last weekend’s auction of a group of his vintage cars known collectively as the “Silver Surfer” Collection.
General Motors hopes to make an announcement next month on the future of its sports cars – Corvette and Cadillac – as far as the ACO and its World Endurance Championship program.
That’s the latest word from Laura Klauser, the company’s sports car racing program manager.

With all the spy pics and videos coming out of Germany as the 2023 Corvette Z06s are testing at the Nurburgring, it was our thinking that the question on whether or not the Z06s would have a center-mounted exhaust was settled as both the base Z06 and the Z06/Z07 models have the configuration in place.

Are we having fun this week, or what!
Of course, I am talking about all the great sights and sounds coming out of Germany (and Le Mans) with the nearly-undisguised 2023 Corvette Z06 taking to the Nurburgring for extensive ride and handling testing by Corvette’s engineers.
LE MANS, France (Aug. 17, 2021) – Corvette Racing is back at the 24 Hours of Le Mans this week with its eye toward a ninth class victory in one of the world’s greatest endurance races. Debuting at Le Mans in 2000, the program quickly established itself as an annual contender in the production-based GT categories. This year should be no different with the mid-engine Corvette C8.R.
Ahead of this week’s track action, let’s visit with current and past Corvette Racing drivers to recap each victory from 2001 to 2015:

With the news that the 2023 Corvette Z06s are testing in Germany at the Nurburgring, we are finding more pics of the cars from the spy photographers who are staking out the track and entrances to the Manufacturers garages. Already we’ve shared the 2023 Z06 with the Z07 Performance Package and earlier today, the first nearly-undisguised photos of the base model Z06 was spotted for the first time.
