We know from spy photos and video sightings that Corvette engineers are busy developing future C8 Corvette models and based on history as well as recent sightings, it’s widely believed that it’s the high-performance Z06 that is next on the reveal list. And while we have these Z06s mules running around conducting tests on public roads, it was last June that something entirely different was spied for the time…a C8 widebody mule with a center-mounted exhaust.

Corvette Racing’s special relationship with Mobil 1 has combined for 114 wins around the world, and the new livery for the 12 Hours of Sebring featured both C8.Rs in Gray with Red and White graphics differentiating the No. 3 from the No. 4 C8.R.

Chevrolet is feverishly working on a compromise scenario with IMSA officials to compete in the 2022 WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season, despite simply not having enough time to build a fully homologated GT3-spec Corvette by then.

[VIDEO] Drive 615 Reviews a Red Mist 2021 Corvette Stingray Z51 Coupe

Our good friend Byron Glover Jr of the Drive 615 YouTube Channel managed to get his hands on another mid-engine Corvette to review and this time it’s a 2021 Corvette Stingray Z51 Coupe in the new popular color of Red Mist Metallic. This Stingray features a 2LT trim package and some nice options which brings the MSRP to a little over $81K.

Like all his automotive reviews, Byron offers us a great walk-around of the car and shows off some of the features before jumping behind the wheel for a drive where the review continues. We always appreciate Byron’s take on the car as he puts it through its paces. With this video coming after his 2020 Convertible review, he also highlights the differences between the Coupe to the Convertible C8 he tested previously. And what other auto reviewer who is 6’5″ would try to fit in the Frunk!

Corvette Delivery Dispatch with National Corvette Seller Mike Furman for March 21st

Criswell Chevrolet’s Mike Furman delivers new Corvettes to his customers who come from all across the country to work with the nation’s top individual Corvette seller.

One of the reasons we love sharing these new Corvette delivery photos from Mike is that we get to see the various ways that his customers are building their dream Corvettes. This week we have a couple of Torch Red Corvettes together but one has stripes and the other doesn’t which allows for a nice compare/contrast between the two cars. We also have the opportunity to see how customers are taking advantage of the multiple delivery options offered by the nation’s top Corvette seller. As always, a great collection of throwback and vintage Corvette photos awaits your scroll so limber up those digits and let’s get to it!

Visit Mike’s facebook page for even more photos and videos of his new Corvette deliveries: CorvetteFurman.
