The exhaust system is a critical part of your Corvette’s performance. Its main job is to transport those nasty spent gasses out of the engine as quickly as possible. If you’ve got the wrong system installed or your existing system leaks or isn’t performing as intended, the exhaust can actually reduce your car’s performance.

Today began the first official practice sessions at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and already there’s a bit of drama with Corvette Racing after the car lost control and crashed into a tire barrier.

For 2023, organizers for the Detroit Grand Prix moved the race from Belle Isle to downtown Detroit, where it was run on a temporary nine-turn, 1.7-mile circuit that runs along the Detroit River. The IndyCar series once again joined IMSA for the mixed-series weekend and that means we got an opportunity to see the IndyCar 2023 Corvette Z06 Pace Car run on the streets of Detroit.
We’re channeling the great Henry Ford who was quoted as saying, “Any color the customer wants, as long as it’s black.”
Apparently, it’s going to be the same for Corvette Z06 buyers in Japan, at least initially.
