[VIDEO] C8 Corvette Chased by Police SUV is Actually a Promotion to Sell Aftermarket Wheels


Be aware, the suspect is armed and extremely dangerous.

That’s the message playing in the background of this new YouTube video that offers up one videographer’s idea of what a police chase involving a suspect in a mid-engine Arctic White Corvette might look like, with the not so subliminal goal of selling C8 owners a new set of Rohana wheels in the process.

Corvettes for Sale: Lingenfelter Powered 1991 Callaway Aerobody Convertible


Fans of unique fourth-generation Corvettes, please stand up and take note. You currently have a chance to bring home this red 1991 Callaway Aerobody convertible.

RPO B2K, the Callaway twin-turbo package was offered between 1987 and 1991. A little over 500 cars were assembled during that time. The 1991 model year was the final year for RPO B2K and changes were minimal. The output of the twin-turbo boosted 350ci LT1 was bumped to 403hp and 575 lb.-ft of torque compared to the base L98’s 250hp. New ducts on the hood channeled fresh air into the intercoolers.

If you would have told me a few years ago that the Corvette would be regularly beaten on the track by factory new SUVs, I’d have used my Eddie Murphy voice and told you to GTFO. But the great horsepower wars waged by domestic automakers have seemingly made this nightmare scenario possible as evidenced by a freaking Dodge Durango SUV featuring a 710-hp Hellcat V8 engine leaving a stock C8 Corvette behind on the drag strip.

It’s been a couple of months since we spied the Corvette engineering team testing future variants of the C8 Corvette and today we are pleased to share these exclusive videos and photos of the widebody C8s in Marietta, Ohio.

The video and photos come from Corvette enthusiast Dave Wesel who seems to have a knack for this sort of thing after his photos of the first C7 Corvette ZR1 Convertible nearly broke the internet back in October 2016. David and his friend Ken Morrison caught up with the team who arrived in town last night, and then they were there this morning as the engineering team led by Executive Corvette Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter set off for a day of testing in the surrounding area.

If you’re like me, you’ve probably never heard of Hickory Corners, Michigan nor know anything about the Gilmore Car Museum in that town.

But a little research has us itching to make a trip north to see what all the fuss is about, especially since the Museum is hosting a special exhibit called “The Greatest Generation – a dramatic presentation of Chevrolet Corvettes from each generation of GM’s legendary American sports car.”

It was August of 2017 when my wife and I took a road trip from Oklahoma to Oregon and back in our 2017 Grand Sport Coupe. There was plenty of room for our luggage and detailing supplies as we headed out to see our good friends, John and Annie Elegant, and to be their guests at a local Corvette show. There is no question that the 7th Generation Corvette Coupe can handle whatever you need to bring along for an extended road trip.

There are a lot of obscure holidays out there that, for better or worse, allow seemingly normal people to, as they say, “let their freak flags fly.” Star Wars fans love to nerd out on May the 4th (be with you), math geeks (and Village Inn) are all about Pi Day (3.14), and today is extra special for Bow-Tie aficionados. Even in the storied pantheon of Chevrolet powerplants, one displacement stands above the rest, and, on 4/27, we get to celebrate the 7.0-liter monsters that have been sending all of their glorious firepower to the rear wheels of our favorite cars since 1966!

Some of Doug Fehan’s earliest memories go back to a Buffalo stadium where his dad and uncles would take him to see the jalopy races as a child.

Fortunately for Corvette enthusiasts, that early love of racing seeded as a child would eventually lead Fehan to General Motors, where he would become the first director of Corvette Racing in 1996.
