If all goes well in the next few weeks, we should see the first customer-ordered 2020 Corvette Convertibles starting down the production line at the Corvette Assembly Plant in Bowling Green.
This week we have heard from more than a couple of Hard Top Convertible (HTC) customers who told us they have received their Target Production Week (TPW) notifications. So far, we have heard of customer TPWs for Convertibles for the weeks of August 3rd and August 10th.
If you’re not satisfied with the 495 horsepower being cranked out by your new stock MC8 Corvette, just wait a little while, and the folks at ProCharger will be glad to help you.
If you’re looking for an uncommon C4 Corvette that won’t break the bank, this 1992 yellow coupe might be the end of your search.
It’s the rarest color amongst the 20,479 coupes and convertibles built in ’92, with only 678 examples (3.3%) having left the Bowling Green factory in this shade.

Chevy’s designers on the C8 Corvette will tell you that they found much inspiration for the mid-engine’s design from our military’s fighter jets. The interior of the car is oriented around the driver much like that of a pilot and even the frunk’s zig-zag panel design reminds us of a stealth bomber.

About the only thing better than checking out vintage photos of Corvettes is hearing a great backstory to go with them. On today’s Throwback Thursday, our friend Mike Furman put up a great story this week on his CorvetteFurman Facebook page about his longtime friend Jim and his old 1967 Corvette nicknamed the Green Machine.
Manufacturers have had to go to great lengths in order to keep their crate motors appealing during the golden age of factory horsepower we are currently experiencing. This has led to the creation of some phenomenal over-the-counter power plants like GM’s new naturally aspirated LS427/570 and Mopar’s Deamon-beating Hellephant.
The fellow who’s credited with the innovative design of the 1969 Corvette exterior door handle certainly put his creation to good personal use over the past half-century.
The designer, who worked nearly 40 years at General Motors, retired as head of design staff at the GM Tech Center in 1983, but not before he had bought a 1969 Corvette brand new on Oct. 15, 1969. He’s owned it ever since.
Corvette Racing drivers Antonio Garcia and Jordan Taylor (No. 3 Mobil 1/SiriusXM Chevrolet Corvette C8.R) along with Oliver Gavin and Tommy Milner (No. 4 Mobil 1/SiriusXM Chevrolet Corvette C8.R) met with members of the media during a teleconference to discuss returning to competition next week at Daytona.

If you just can’t wait for the upcoming Z06 and its expected massive amounts of power (and a widebody, to boot), you might want to visit Extreme Turbo Systems and mod your 2020 Corvette.
We learned today that Corvette Assembly Plant workers are transitioning to a 10-hour shift this week instead of the regular 8-hour shift as the plant continues to produce more and more 2020 Corvettes ahead of next week’s July 4th break.
