Nobody outside of GM knows for sure which motor will power the highly anticipated C8 Corvette, set to roar into the public’s eyes without its camo next Thursday.
But we apparently do know for sure it won’t be the 4.2-liter double overhead cam LTA V8 engine, nicknamed Blackwing, that is making its debut in the 2020 Cadillac CT6-V.
Entertainer Danny Thomas founded St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital nearly 60 years ago, with the belief that “no child should die in the dawn of life.”
For nearly 50 of those years, Duke and Jan Hamberger have gradually increased their support of St. Jude’s, where no child is denied treatment based on race, religion, or a family’s ability to pay.
A late C4 Corvette coupe suffered major damage to the front end after a head-on collision in Durham, N.C., on Wednesday afternoon.

With the C8 Corvette reveal now just over a week away, those lucky few who have been invited to bring out their Corvettes have finally begun to receive their credentials to the reveal event.
It’s official! The East Coast Reveal for the C8 Mid-Engine Corvette is happening at Kerbeck Corvette on July 26 and 27th in Atlantic City.
We always think of Burt Reynolds whenever Cannonball Run is mentioned.
Now we’ll be thinking of the C7 Corvette, too.
The Cannonball Run, of course, was the subject of a Reynolds movie in 1981 but was actually an unofficial, unsanctioned automobile race run five times in the 1970s from New York City and Darien, Conn., on the east coast to the Portofino Inn in Redondo Beach, Calif.
I was hoping that yesterday’s leak of the C8’s rear end would have been a one-and-done, and now this one is even worse. Because this image is so poor, and obvious edits have been made to erase its surroundings, we were torn on whether to run it or not. Heck, we don’t even know if it’s a picture of the real car or just a very bad rendering. But after Jalopnik picked it up and now others are running it, we’re going to give you our opinion.

We came across this video of the Black 2014 Corvette Stingray fully engulfed in flames on an unnamed country road in an unnamed town. We don’t know what caused it, but the owner does mention that he couldn’t get out of the car which we assume was because it was already on fire by the time he pulled over.
The months are flying by as we close in on the reveal of the next-generation Corvette which happens next week on 07.18.19. This is a pivotal time for dealers who are working hard to secure their allocations for the C8 Mid-Engine Corvette by selling as many C7 Corvettes as possible.
