Randy Pobst On How To Make the C8 Corvette's Handling Even Better

Randy Pobst’s test of the Eighth Generation Corvette at Virginia International Raceway is the gift that keeps giving this December! The original article was released last week and the C8 showed some real promise. When compared to a C7 Grand Sport, which Randy anointed the “best-handling of all C7 variations,” the new mid-engine Stingray was shaving 2-3 seconds (an eternity on a track) off of the C7 GS’ lap times.

Here's an Estimated Timeline of Events for the C8 Corvette

If everything has gone to plan since the last C7 Corvette rolled off the Bowling Green Assembly Line in mid-November, this next week will begin a new chapter as the mid-engine Corvette inches closer to full-scale production. That’s because the retooling of the plant should now be complete and this week begins the ramped-up production of 350 captured test fleet cars.

[VIDEO] Watch Chip Foose Work his Magic on the C5 Corvette

I’ve always been fascinated with automotive design, the designers, and hearing backstories on how a particular feature came to be. The vision and artistry that automotive designers possess is something totally foreign to me. If I designed a car, it’d most likely end up looking like Sponge Bob Square Pants with tires instead of legs. I’m just not that creative.
