Today, we have an update with an official statement to share from a Chevrolet spokesperson.

Back on July 1st we shared a video of IndyCar’s Josef Newgarden and his tour of the Corvette Assembly Plant which officially occurred all the way back in February.

Of course, the big payoff that day was that Josef got to see his completed Corvette at the end of the tour.
[RIDES] John and Annie’s 2020 Corvette Stingray
Our friend John Elegant from the MidEngineCorvetteForum.com took delivery of his new 2020 Corvette several months ago, but between working to get his house sold and having a new one built, he has had very little time to enjoy the car. Also is the issue that it’s now stored 75 miles from where he is currently staying as the new house is being completed.
On Friday afternoon, I gave him a call and he was driving his Black 2020 Corvette Z51 Coupe on some very curvy roads through the canyons in western Oregon and he was giddy like a kid on his birthday. Afterward, he sent me a link to a post he made about his driving experience and I thought it would make the perfect Rides post. Enjoy!
