The owner of this car currently up for sale on Facebook Marketplace calls it “an amazing opportunity” to pick up a classic Stingray for just $8,000.
The good folks over at Motor Trend have captured the C8 Corvette Z06 on video as it was doing some on track testing out west. The audio is not as loud as we would prefer but the sound does remind us of the times we’ve heard the flat-plane crank V8 mule previously.
In addition to that video, there are two photos of a C8 Corvette prototype as it was being refueled at a gas station. The car doesn’t have a spoiler and its exhaust ports are mounted in the lower corners like the Stingray.

The 2001 24 Hours of Daytona held over February 2 & 3, 2001, has become a pivotal event in Corvette Racing history. The win showed the world that Corvette Racing was going to be a formidable competitor in sports car racing for the foreseeable future. Corvette entered two Corvette C5R race cars, #2 (chassis-003) driven by Ron Fellows, Johnny O’Connell, Chris Kneifel, and Franck Freon, and #3 (chassis-004) driven by Andy Pilgrim, Kelly Collins, Dale Earnhardt, and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. With the Earnhardts driving, many people who were not sports car racing fans were tuning in with tons of media coverage on that first weekend of February.
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
