It’s hard to believe that we are saying goodbye at the end of the season to Corvette Racing’s C8.R. The 5.5L GTLM racing machine will drive off into the sunset at the end of this season and will join all the different Corvette Racing racecars from the C5-R to the C7.R that retired previously.

Corvette Nation, we’ve officially reached a “cross”roads. After years of touting the rumble of our LS/LT V8s as the pinnacle of automotive soundtracks, the top dog in our kennel is suddenly barking a new tune. Most of the acoustic differences between the new 2023 Z06’s LT6 and Corvettes of old boil down to the layouts of their respective crankshafts. What’s the difference, and which one would walk away with the record deal in an automotive version of The Voice? Let’s get into this with a brief overview of cross vs. flat cranks and a pair of no-nonsense example videos before we head to the polls!
A good belt completes any stylish outfit. The same goes for your Corvette. You can’t have a world class sports car and not be protected in the unlikely event of an accident. Seat belts not only help keep you safe in a crash, they also keep you planted in the seat during spirited driving or track days. If it’s time to replace or upgrade your Corvette’s seat belts or related items, check out all the C1 – C4 options from our friends at Corvette Central.
When you get through manhandling this 1969 Corvette coupe with an L36 427/390 horsepower engine, Muncie M21 four-speed manual transmission, and no power steering/brakes, you’ve definitely earned your stripes.
