Shocking news for the Corvette Nation and automotive enthusiasts everywhere as Callaway Cars announces the passing of founder Reeves Callaway this morning. Reeves sustained injuries from a fall in his home on July 11th.

When I first started writing about Corvettes in 2005, one of the posts I did was about the five people in the hobby I was hoping to meet one day, and Reeves was on the list. My wish came true as I got the chance to talk with him on multiple occasions. He was the one of the nicest and friendliest people you could ever have a conversation with, and there is no one that could pull off the look of wearing a sport coat and flip flops like Reeves did.

One of my fondest memories of Reeves came when sitting next to him and his son Pete at the official reveal of the 2020 Corvette Stingray in California, and I remember that he audibly gasped when Mark Reuss announced the price of the Stingray would be under $60,000.

We’ll miss you, Reeves. We are saying prayers for you and your family on this very sad day.

Earlier today we were able to drop some nuggets on the pricing for 2024 Corvettes, and it seems like each hour brings us another tidbit.

Earlier today, we learned about the ZER Performance Package being offered at $500 and also have all the wheel pricing for the upcoming hybrid-performance model. We also found out that the R8C Museum Delivery program is seeing a substantial increase of $500 and will now cost $1,495.

This afternoon, we got the info on what we really have been after, which is the trim pricing for each of the three models. Thanks to our friend Rick ‘Corvette’ Conti, we have those figures to share as well.

While our friends at Ciocca Corvette of Atlantic City may no longer be the World’s Largest Corvette Dealership, they still remain one of the best places to purchase a new Corvette according to Chevrolet. The automaker has recently bestowed “Dealer of the Year” honors for the Chevy store for 2022, and there was a celebration held earlier this week for the staff as Chevrolet dropped off the new hardware and banner.

The fine folks at Car and Driver recently published their first big comparison test of the Summer, and it’s a doozy! That’s right, the publication that doesn’t quite know which way the Ukrainian flag goes recently wrangled the two most enthusiast-centric cars of this generation – the C8 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and the 992-Generation Porsche 911 GT3. Once in possession of these final torch-bearers of high-revving naturally aspirated goodness, they embarked on a road (and track) trip to their favorite southern Ohio roads and back to Michigan for some hot laps at the 2.1-mile GingerMan Raceway.

The funny guys at the Cars and Zebras channel on YouTube recently shared these drag races between a couple of unlikely “old geezers” – a 1974 Corvette and a super rare 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Pace Car.

[VIDEO] Corvette Z06 Owner Takes On the Ron Fellow's Z06 Owner's School at Spring Mountain

When you purchase a new C8 Corvette Stingray or Z06, you are automatically granted a voucher to attend the two-day Corvette Owner’s School at Spring Mountain Motor Report and Country Club in Pahrump, Nevada which is about an hour west of Las Vegas. That voucher is good for one year and your cost to attend is just $1,000. If you don’t take advantage of it, you are really short-changing your Corvette driving experience as you will learn all about controlling these high performance sports cars on the safe confines of a track as opposed to on the street, and the lessons learned there can be applied to any driving situation.
