If it goes fast, Simon likes it. Computers, cars, rockets, it doesn't matter, as long as there is speed involved. Apart from his love of sim racing in virtual reality, Simon also loves to drive his '17 Fiesta ST through the mountain roads near his home city of Calgary, AB. Simon's penchant for big horsepower makes him partial to modern supercharged small block Corvettes and aftermarket craziness.
Far be it from us to act as the promotion arm of any major Hollywood studio, but when the new trailer for the upcoming The Batman movie dropped yesterday, something leaped off the screen at us. First of all, if you’re into action or comic book movies, give the trailer...
If it wasn’t already blatantly apparent, we here at CorvSport are very very very very very excited about the 2023 Corvette C8 Z06. Just slightly. So when one of the most popular car shows in the world posts up an exclusive preview packed full of details and lots of noise, you...
In 1993 just 448 ZR-1 Corvettes were produced and only 240 of them were 40th Anniversary Edition cars. The 40th Anniversary Package consists of a deep and glossy Ruby Red exterior finish over a matching Ruby Red interior with leather adjustable sport seats. A Corvette with both of these highly desirable packages is rare and special. At the heart of the ZR-1 is the 405-horsepower LT5 V8 engine mated to a 6-speed manual transmission.
When it was first revealed, it is well known that the Corvette C8’s styling was a radical departure from previous generations. It was angular, aggressive, and ready to pounce at the next corner in the canyon road you were carving. It was also controversial at first, with many commenting that...
Jay Leno, apart from being a (semi-retired) comedian, is what many of us aspire to be when we grow old and grey. That is, specifically, the owner of a massive garage facility with hundreds of rare, sentimental, or just plain cool cars to take out and drive! Since he retired...
Now that the 2023 Corvette C8 Z06’s 5.5L LT6 engine has been revealed with its specifications, it has already been labeled one of the all-time greats from any American sports car manufacturer. It is, indeed, fair to even call it a supercar engine, as it does match and even beat...
There really isn’t much more to say, really. Here is the full 45 minute reveal from when it was streamed on YouTube: For those that have stuck around after watching the full reveal, you can view the official press release here. There are a slew of pictures of wallpaper quality...
First of all, if you haven’t watched the 2023 Corvette C8 Z06 reveal video, you can watch it below: While there were moments happening left, right, center, and all over the place, we put our heads together here at the CorvSport office (virtual office since we’re all working from home!),...
With the reveal of the new 2023 C8 Z06 earlier today, Corvette enthusiasts around the world are buzzing with confirmed specs, technical data, and what packages the Z06 will come with. One thing, however, that Chevrolet has not revealed yet is the price of the beast. What makes this even...
Earlier this week, a video with a soundtrack of something mean was posted to Chevrolet Performance’s Instagram page. It came with the tag of 10.20.21, which, coincidentally enough, is today! So what was the beast that the soundtrack was attached to? Quite simply, the most powerful naturally aspirated performance engine...
Through our “Sell My Corvette” feature here on CorvSport.com, we’ve had multiple submissions of everything from barn find cars to Concours-grade rare cars. Throughout all these submissions, the one thing that we always notice is that when a car is submitted that is in exquisite condition, but also has miles...
Those with sensitive hearts and minds when it comes to Corvettes, we recommend you turn away now. A few 2022 Corvette C8 customers are about to receive a bit of bad news. On Tuesday night, around 9 PM, a car hauler pulled into a parking lot/rest area about 30 minutes...
The Corvette, when launched, was one of those cars that were destined to become an instant classic. A car with a shape that defined a decade, with performance that helped kickstart the muscle car craze of the ’60s and ’70s. Everyone has their own favorite model and type. The classic...
The Corvette C5 generation was the one that brought the American company back to racing, back to powerful, streetable V8’s, and back to prominence as the best American sports car. At the end of the C5 generation’s run, in 2004, they released a Commemorative Edition to celebrate these facts, and...
Corvette C7 fans, your attention please. In a submission via our Sell My Corvette feature here on CorvSport, quite possibly the lowest mileage ZR1 in the USA has become available for sale! This specific Arctic White over Jet Black leather example has only 1,142 miles on the odometer. Even better,...
Through the Sell My Corvette feature on our website here, a beautiful 1957 Corvette C1 restomod has become available for sale! Even better, it’s a very stealthy restomod, keeping the shape and style of the first generation of our favorite sports car, but giving it modern driving features. Listed among...
Corvettes have always been at the forefront of American engineering and design. They have engines that have repeatedly produced power well beyond what their displacement would suggest. They have had multiple suspension configurations and new technologies added to produce the best handling sports car possible. However, one of the most...
We were recently contacted through our “Sell My Corvette” portal with a Corvette that we think a lot of people would be interested in! Listed for sale is a 1961 Corvette C1 that the current owner bought in 2007, right after it had completed a complete, Corvette-certified frame-off restoration. As...
The Corvette C2 is the generation that really got people going about America’s favorite sports car. The long lines, the pedigree, the rumble of the V8 mixing with the bark and roar from the exhausts. It was the right car, at the right time. And a rare numbers-matching 1967 C2...
One of the fun bits of work we all get to do here at CorvSport is to peruse auction sites, sales sites, and YouTube to find the best of the best classic Corvettes we can. And wouldn’t you know it, today we found another one on BringATrailer! This 1963 Corvette...
There are those that restore cars as close as possible to original condition, which is and of itself a noble goal. However, there is a section of the restoration crowd that also loves to make the original car have a modern level of taste and power. These cars are what...
Buying a Corvette is an ambition for many, be it the person that has worked, saved, retired, and finally bought their dream car, or the person that decides they might as well enjoy their mid-life crisis. No matter what the reason, however, it is only fitting that one’s awesome new...
As we reported late last week, General Motors put out a widespread stop-sales and stop-delivery order to all dealers due to a brake sensor contamination issue. As reported by inside sources to CorvetteBlogger, at this time it seems that only 38 Corvette C8’s have been affected. Some forum posts regarding...
You can check your VIN number to see if your Corvette C8 is affected at https://my.gm.com/recalls or via the NHTSA at https://vinrcl.safercar.gov/vin/ In an extremely rare move, General Motors late Thursday night issued an immediate stop delivery order to all dealers across the world for certain models. This stop order...
Full-time YouTuber and part-time racer Speed Phenom is back again with a video. This time, instead of showing how good the Corvette C8 is on the track or how it stacks up against other cars, he’s showing the lesser-known and potentially expensive result of tracking your car. One of the...
It’s a fact of life that you take your chances with everything you do. Some things, like making a cup of coffee, involve relatively low risk, but you can still spill the coffee and burn your hand. When it comes to cars, it’s also a calculated risk every time you...
Finally, something that every Corvette owner and enthusiast can actually agree on! There are some that think the 2020+ Corvette C8 “isn’t a real Corvette” (despite it being the design that Zora wanted from the very start), and there are some that think of 2019 and earlier C7’s and before...
While the Bowling Green factory is working two shifts to catch up on 2020 Corvette C8 orders, those that have secured a 2021 order have been wondering when their cars will start assembly. CorvetteActionCenter has been able, via “sources,” find out that in November, both 2020 and 2021 models will...
While there are many out there that love the Corvette C8, and an equal number that dislike it, it is part of Corvette’s future that a hybrid model will be included in the C8 generation. As GM, and subsequently Chevy, move more and more towards electric vehicles, the power units...
