Thanks to our friend Rick ‘Corvette’ Conti for getting this up so quickly!
This morning, GM’s Jim Campbell spoke with Corvette Racing driver Jordan Taylor and Corvette Product Manager Harlan Charles from the racing circuit on Detroit’s Belle Isle.
Jordan talks about the racing on a street course and the return of Corvette to Detroit. Harlan gives an excellent run-down of the new 2022 Corvette IMSA GTLM Championship Edition.

Corvette owners who responsibly carry a firearm loved the C7 for having the secret storage behind the radio. And now that the C8 is out, some have lamented about the lack of options for securing your firearm in your mid-engine Corvette while still keeping them within reach. Lucky for us, we stumbled on this video – where to carry a firearm in a C8 Corvette.
DETROIT (June 11, 2021) – Nick Tandy set the fastest time for Corvette Racing ahead of the Chevrolet Sport Car Classic on Friday, just beating out Jordan Taylor in a battle of mid-engine Chevrolet Corvette C8.Rs.
Dana Mecum’s 34th annual Spring Classic Auction in Indianapolis wrapped up a couple weeks ago with record results. Total sales for the event were $107.8 million. That monster number was the product of an 83% sell-through rate in which 1,715 out of 2,057 available cars went to new homes. This was Mecum’s 2nd $100 million+ auction of the year following January’s Kissimmee auction.

Earlier today we discovered the 2022 Corvette is now listed on Chevrolet.com’s upcoming vehicles page and the microsite now features some new photoshops of the three new colors! While we would prefer to see the three new colors on real cars, these new illustrations do give us a decent representation of how Hypersonic Gray, Amplify Orange, and Caffeine might appear.
The new 2022 Corvette Stingray IMSA GTLM Championship Editions will be on display this weekend in Detroit for IMSA’s Chevrolet Sports Car Classic, but if you can’t make it to Belle Isle to see them in the flesh, Chevy is giving you a virtual opportunity to check out the new C8.R Special Editions.

From the Corvette Forum comes these two photos of a camouflaged C8 Corvette prototype spotted on Thursday in Defiance, Ohio at an Arby’s restaurant. CF member “spyderx” shared the photos that were sent to him by a friend.
It seems unlikely, but if anyone who reads this Corvette site were seriously considering adding Ford’s new nostalgia-heavy Mach-1 Mustang to their collection, Classic Auto Mall of southeast Pennsylvania would like to direct your attention towards something that makes the king of 5.0 ‘Stangs look only about 20% as cool; the Mach 5, but you might know it better as the Speed Racer car.
