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

[ACCIDENT] Speeding C6 Corvette May Be To Blame for a Seven Vehicle Crash in Florida

Late last year the word came down that the new C8 Corvette’s LT2 V8 engine had earned a spot on Wards 10 Best Engines for 2020 list. Judges were blown away by the power and torque from the overhead valve engine, as well as the exhaust note “that was more ‘howl’ than the traditional rumble”.

Corvette Delivery Dispatch with National Corvette Seller Mike Furman for July 12th


Criswell Chevrolet’s Mike Furman delivers new Corvettes to his customers who come from all across the country to work with the nation’s top individual Corvette seller.

In this week’s dispatch, Mike is back doing what he does best…making Corvette Dream come true for these happy customers. Like a 2020 Corvette that can go 0-60 mph in 2.8 seconds, Mike went from 0 to 32 deliveries this week and the trucks are still are showing up with even more C8s every few days now. These are the kinds of posts that we love to see: multiple customers taking deliveries as Mike shares a bit of back story or explains the equipment list. We haven’t had a Sunday Post like this in some time, so make sure you are stretching out those scrolling fingers and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated because there are nearly 200 photos to view! As always, some of today’s collection looks back in time with throwbacks and vintage pics as well! If you like a particular 2020 color combo or if a throwback photo caught your eye, let us know in the comments below!

Visit Mike’s facebook page for even more photos and videos of his new Corvette deliveries: CorvetteFurman.

[VIDEO] It's Corvette Day! IndyCar Racer Josef Newgarden Takes Delivery of His C8 Corvette


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. Many of you enjoyed that video, not only for the behind-the-scenes look inside the plant pre-coronavirus but also because of Josef’s sense of humor as he made is way around the plant and spoke with different employees. Of course, the big payoff that day was that Josef got to see his completed Corvette at the end of the tour.

Our friend Morgan Crosbie who is a Chevy sales rep at Ontario’s Finch Chevrolet has a new video up on his Cars and Crosbie YouTube Channel today and while the main thrust is to offer a comparison of the 2020 Corvette 1LT vs his personal loaded 3LT Z51 Coupe. But before he gets into that, he offers some much welcome updates on the production of his customer cars at the Corvette Assembly Plant.

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!
