Ever since the mid-engine C8 Corvette made its debut two years ago, enthusiasts not satisfied with the stock level of performance have hoped they could turn to the aftermarket to help them.
Unfortunately, because the 2020 Corvette also marked the debut of complicated General Motors’ Global B architecture, it’s been impossible so far for the aftermarket to crack into the car’s ECU.

We’ve told you for months now that IMSA will be unveiling a new class called GTD Pro in 2022, nixing its current GTE-spec GTLM class.
The only problem with the new class – at least for Corvette Racing – is that it requires competitors to use the GT3 platform, and Corvette Racing uses the GTE platform and doesn’t have time to get a GT3 car ready by the time competition begins in January.

We wrote earlier this week that dealers can now start submitting preliminary order requests into the GM workbench order system but that pricing wasn’t available yet. Chevy must have heard our call as our friends at the Corvette Action Center are sharing these screens from GM’s ordering system that are now showing some pricing for select options.
Unfortunately, the bottom line is that your price for ordering a 2022 Corvette may cost more than the $1,200 increase that Chevy announced last month depending on options and equipment.
