After a little layoff, we got some new content from YouTuber Emelia Hartford who is sharing some big news relating to her first Corvette, the 2020 Stingray nicknamed Phoenix.
The car was previously recognized as the fastest C8 Stingray ever for quite a span of time before giving up the world record to FuelTech USA. Emelia’s fastest time in Phoenix was 9.36 seconds in the quarter and she’s always stated her intention to get the car into the 8s, but now she’s talking about making a really fast car with the 7s in her sights, and it all starts with the big crate that was dropped off at the shop.
Corvettes have won award after award over the decades, but you can do your part to help your favorite sports car win some more bragging rights in a contest currently being promoted by the Kentucky Association of Manufacturers.
The Midyear Corvettes of 1963 through 1967 have long been darlings of the collector car community. The C2 Sting Ray, created by the all-star team of Zora Arkus-Duntov, Bill Mitchell, Pete Brock, Larry Shinoda, and Ed Cole, is often considered the most beautiful American vehicle ever produced. It was also the first generation of America’s Sports Car that was built with performance and racing in mind from the word go. Major breakthroughs like independent rear suspension, the big block V8, and legendary RPOs like Z06 and L88 all debuted in the C2 order guide. Midyears have been so dominant in the collector car market that low-production versions of the two-word Sting Ray represent half of the top-ten most expensive Corvettes ever sold, including the two top spots.
