Wait long enough and the aftermarket will offer a solution for the folks who don’t like some aspect of the design of the new C8 Corvette.
For example, a company named Competition Carbon just released photos of its revised throwback design of the 2020-23 taillights, going all the way back to the round rear lights of the C6 and even further for inspiration.
It’s not always appropriate to be reviewing the latest photos of your Corvette when you’re working…
Yesterday, we shared the good news that the Corvette Assembly Plant in Bowling Green had set a new daily high for production of the 2023 Corvette Z06. On Wednesday the assembly plant produced a total of 63 Z06s during the two shifts.
On Thursday, April 6th, they came back and broke that record number once again!

Murphy’s Law was never more in effect than during this recent mishap at a garage.
In an Instagram video, we see a yellow C6 presumably getting an oil change when the phone rings off-camera. A mechanic walks in front of the car perhaps to answer the call when screams of “hey, hey” ring out as the Corvette’s lights activate and it begins to roll backward.
If this is “Grandma’s Vette,” the old girl has a lot of work ahead of her.
This 1961 Corvette will require a lot of re-assembly to ever make it back on the road, but apparently there are some willing souls out there as the current bid on a Bring a Trailer auction has already climbed to $4,000, with six days to go. A new owner is ensured since it’s a no-reserve auction.

Good news, Corvette Nation! The Edmunds team behind our second-favorite online drag racing videos still has Chevrolet’s flat-crank phenom in its possession. This week, they’ve decided upon a fascinating upstart competitor from these very United States for its latest head-to-head battle.
We’re into April now, so hopefully you’re nearing the end of any off-season projects to get your Corvette ready for Spring and Summer cruises and Corvette shows. Our friends at Volunteer Vette have previously highlighted the parts and accessories as relating to brakes, suspension, and exhaust systems, and now they have the perfect project that any owner can complete, and you’ll be very happy with the outcome.
Seems like we got all this week’s good news on one day! Following reports that Chevy will run the 2023 Corvette model year through September 1st, we learned that things have also been poppin’ at the Corvette Assembly Plant this week for America’s newest supercar as well.

Chevrolet has dropped their first Corvette Academy video for the 2024 Corvette E-Ray today and this one is simply titled “Meet E-RAY.” It’s a quick video clocking in at just 1:41 and it features Lead Vehicle Development Engineer Michael Kutcher and Chevrolet’s Marketing Director Brad Franz offering their takes on Chevy’s first electrified all-wheel drive Corvette.
We got some actionable info today direct from Chevrolet as it communicates its future Corvette plans with its dealers. The big news of course is that we finally have a hard date on when the 2023 model year will end and the start of the 2024 models.
