Teiryn Fields — Sun, 14 May 2023 18:30:19 GMT

More C8 Corvette ZR1 Details Leaked, And It’s Going to be Awesome

Robert Moore — Sun, 14 May 2023 11:00:17 GMT

Chevy just teased a new version of the C8 Corvette that will not only be the first hybrid Vette in history but also the first AWD Corvette in history. And it wasn't that long ago that we spotted the C8 Corvette E-Ray doing some on-road testing, and while the Hybrid Vette is next on the list, what's coming after will be an even bigger deal. I'm talking about the C8 Corvette ZR1, and a new report has shed some light on what we can expect. The ZR1 is now in development, and while the Z06 is better because it doesn't have forced induction, we can now say that won't be the case for the ZR1.

Why Chevy Will Never Be the Same After The 2025 Corvette SUV

Yasser Vrij-Alahwal — Sat, 13 May 2023 12:00:18 GMT

Since it first launched in 1953, the Chevy Corvette has become synonymous with exceptional performance and exemplary style. However, Chevrolet will soon take things further by introducing a genuinely revolutionary species: the 2025 Corvette SUV. The bow-tie brand aspires to take on established luxury competitors and capitalize on the increasing consumer demand for performance SUVs.

Amrit Balraj — Wed, 10 May 2023 23:00:17 GMT

The Chevrolet Corvette is an iconic name in automotive history, and today the C8 is one of the most versatile sports cars you can buy. Incidentally, 2023 is the 70th anniversary of the Corvette nameplate and Chevrolet has released a special edition C8 to honor this. The Corvette C8 can match the best that the Germans and Italians can offer in the handling and performance department. If you’re looking for a car for hooning around on a racetrack, the Z51 Performance package transforms the C8 into exactly what you’re looking for. The Z51 performance package was developed by Chevy engineers to upgrade a stock C8 with more track centric features, these include an upgraded cooling system, electronic limited slip differential (eLSD), and bigger Brembo brakes. The Z51 package costs $6,345, while being completely worth it, means that it’s a little heavy on your wallet.

Crowning The Most Satisfying Car In 2023

Tyler Dupont — Wed, 10 May 2023 11:00:17 GMT

Owning a car is something that can be an incredibly personal and special experience. Even those consumers who just consider their car a tool to get them from point A to point B, develop a relationship with their vehicle. Automakers have tried their hardest to develop cars that not only cater to the need of transport but offer a deeper level of comfort and aim to bring pleasure to the simple act of driving. Some brands hit the mark better than others and Consumer Reports has come up with a list of the most satisfying cars of 2023.

Here's Why Ignoring The Chevrolet Corvette C7 Is A BIG Mistake

Martin Morales — Tue, 09 May 2023 12:01:17 GMT

For many enthusiasts, the C8 Corvette from Chevrolet is a very exciting car. This is Chevy's first mid-engine car, instantly giving the nameplate an image of the Everyman's exotic. Always being the pinnacle of performance for the automaker, competing in racing circuits with many European supercars, the Corvette is a winner. There isn't a car quite like the Corvette for America, not even the Dodge Viper. Though the two could be thought of as America's exotics, if you will, the Corvette certainly has more history and a greater legacy than the Viper. Born in 1953, the car was already in its fourth generation by the time the first Viper was made for production in the 90s. Not to mention the Corvette has enjoyed constant production, while the Viper's is anything but steady, if not volatile.

Here's Why Lamborghini Should Fear The Chevy Corvette SUV

Bruno Maia — Mon, 08 May 2023 18:00:17 GMT

Looking at premium sports car brands, as well as other high-end carmakers' SUVs and the success they’ve achieved, it only makes sense that Chevy would be working on a Corvette SUV. Even Ferrari caved and built the outstanding, and very expensive Purosangue after the huge success of the Lamborghini Urus. So while Porsche paved the way with the Cayenne two decades ago, other German Brands such as BMW, Audi, and Mercedes followed, and the rest is history.

Should You Buy A 2023 C8 Corvette Or Wait For The '24?

Tyler Dupont — Mon, 08 May 2023 15:01:17 GMT

The Chevrolet Corvette is a car that has a purist cult following, and it has been this way for decades. With the C8, Chevy decided that the way in which they could improve the car was to change it from a front to a mid-engine model, which of course made fans incredibly angry despite the actual performance advantages. As such, one would think that Chevy would decide to keep things relatively the same going forward. Despite the major changes coming in the form of the E-Ray, the 2024 C8 Stingray Corvette is actually staying relatively the same.

Federico Alcala — Sat, 29 Apr 2023 18:01:17 GMT

Chevrolet, one of the most prominent American car manufacturers, is set to introduce a new addition to its Corvette line in 2024 (although it could start to be seen by the end of 2023). The upcoming Corvette E-Ray will be the first hybrid model in the history of the Corvettes, signaling Chevrolet's commitment to the electric car market. While details regarding the car's specifications have not been tested by the public yet, it is well-known that the E-Ray will be an extremely powerful hybrid sports car. In general, the Corvette has long been known for its high-performance engines and sleek designs. However, the introduction of a hybrid model opens a completely new era not only for Chevrolet but for the entire industry.

Here's What It Feels Like To Stretch A C8 Corvette To V-Max On A De-Restricted German Autobahn

Isaac Atienza — Sat, 29 Apr 2023 14:00:18 GMT

When the Chevrolet Corvette C8 first came out, everyone was impressed with its transition from a front-engined sportscar into a mid-engined, highly-balanced sportscar that could give the more expensive stuff that Europe produces, a run for their money. In the case of the even more potent Z06, its high-revving 5.5-liter naturally-aspirated flat-plane crank V-8 was the stuff of exotic dreams and not of an American sportscar, and it even outpaced a more powerful Ferrari 812 Superfast in a quarter-mile drag race. For this run, though, we're about to witness what a normal C8 Corvette and its 6.2-liter cross-plane crank V-8 is like in full blast as it hurtles down a de-restricted section of the German Autobahn.

Here's Why You Should Buy A Chevrolet C6 Corvette ZR1 Over A 2023 Chevrolet C8 Corvette

Richard Sachek — Sat, 29 Apr 2023 00:05:18 GMT

In late-2008, Chevrolet stunned the automotive world by unleashing a supercar-killing ZR1 version of its sixth-generation Corvette. During development, the car was nicknamed the "Blue Devil" after General Motors' then-CEO Rick Wagoner's alma mater, Duke University. At a time when Ferrari's most potent F430, the Scuderia, boasted 503 horsepower, the first factory supercharged Corvette cranked out a whopping 638 horsepower.

The One Thing That Kills The C8 Chevy Corvette’s Appeal

Theodoros Georgiou — Tue, 25 Apr 2023 23:01:16 GMT

Upon its release, the C8 Corvette took the world by storm. Here was a mid-engined sports car that boasted a powerful naturally aspirated V-8 and drivetrain that would give much more expensive supercars a run for their money. It was an instant hit, and it certainly captured the attention of the world as an affordable sportscar, starting at just under $60,000; something which seems like a distant memory today. Granted, the Corvette was always thought of this way; however, the C8 brought advancements (like the mid-engine setup) that belonged into the far more expensive territory.

Corvette Wars: Is The C8 'Vette Really Worth Five Times As Much As A C5?

Isaac Atienza — Fri, 21 Apr 2023 10:00:18 GMT

Buying a used car instead of a new one could be one of the best and smartest financial decisions you could ever make. Sure, the risks of damages or poor maintenance from the previous owner/s are there, but if you strike gold and manage to snag a used car that was well taken care of, you've freed yourself from the pain of depreciation. For today's video courtesy of The Fast Lane Car, we take a look at the C5 Corvette versus the current C8 Corvette and whether it's actually worth spending five times more for the new, more potent 'Vette.

Its Official!! The Chevy Corvette Is Now A Ferrari Killer. Here's Why

Isaac Atienza — Thu, 20 Apr 2023 14:30:18 GMT

The C8 Corvette Z06 is perhaps one of the best cars that America has ever built. For the fraction of the price of an equivalent mid-engined Ferrari, you get a supercar with the world's most powerful naturally-aspirated V-8 in an age where even the Prancing Horse brand has already embraced turbocharging and electrification. As these supercars finally trickle down to their owners, comparisons against other supercars are pretty much inevitable, and for today's YouTube video courtesy of DragTimes, the Corvette Z06 takes on the Ferrari 812 Superfast.

Isaac Atienza — Mon, 17 Apr 2023 10:00:18 GMT

Another day, and another rumor about the upcoming 2025 Chevrolet Corvette SUV. In what seems like forever, Chevrolet has finally decided to join the high-performance SUV bandwagon, giving the American automaker a legitimate competitor to the Porsche Cayenne. Most of the rumors so far have pointed out that the Corvette SUV will be electric, but it seems that won't be the case, at least initially, when it finally gets revealed to the public in the coming years.

The Latest Scoop On The C8 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1

D.M. Gonzalez-Prego — Sun, 09 Apr 2023 12:00:18 GMT

The cries from Corvette enthusiasts could be heard loud and clear through their complaints when the decision was made to make the Chevrolet Corvette a mid-engine sports car. The protesting purists felt strongly that the Corvette should remain a front-engine vehicle and anything other than that would be considered blasphemous in their eyes. At the same time, the godfather of the "Vette" is smiling down on his namesake vehicle knowing that this has always been the right direction to go in.

What We Can Learn From The Corvette E-Ray Obliterating It's Italian Competition

Isaac Atienza — Tue, 28 Mar 2023 12:05:18 GMT

The first-ever Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray hybrid sportscar was unveiled with plenty of fanfare. While it does come with a dose of electrification, it wasn't enough to dilute the Corvette C8 recipe. Instead, it even enhanced it and made it a better sportscar in certain ways. The first electrified Corvette also happens to be the first all-wheel drive (AWD) model in the sportscar's lineage, and this results in some interesting results when pitting it against other more expensive Italian supercars, which in this instance came courtesy of Hagerty.

You'll Either Love Or Hate This Chevy C8 Corvette Sedan

Joe Parker — Sat, 25 Mar 2023 10:00:17 GMT

Using a revered nameplate on a car that goes completely against the grain of the original model isn’t exactly new to the automotive industry. For instance, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross may bear the name of the automaker’s JDM icon from the ‘90s, but it’s about as far from a sporty coupe as it gets.

The Chevrolet Corvette turns 70 years old in 2023, and yet it has successfully managed to maintain its iconic status throughout the decades. Chevy’s flagship sport scar has gone through different iterations, some more popular than others, but the Corvette has always remained an American icon.

Chevy Corvette C8 Sedan: A PANAMERA Killer In The Making?

Isaac Atienza — Thu, 23 Mar 2023 14:00:17 GMT

The Chevrolet Corvette was and has always been a two-door sportscar, but as with the auto industry nowadays, SUVs and crossovers have ruled the sales charts. This is a trend Porsche saw coming when it released the Cayenne back in 2003, and even Ferrari is now building one called the Purosangue--just don't call it an SUV according to the Italian automaker. A Corvette SUV has been speculated to be in the works, but what if Chevrolet went the other direction and instead offered a sedan version of the Corvette?

10 Things That Make The Chevy Corvette E-Ray Better Than The Porsche 911

Federico Alcala — Wed, 15 Mar 2023 14:00:17 GMT

If you are looking for a high-performance car that will turn heads and leave other drivers in the dust, you may have to consider two of the most impressive models in the world: the Chevy Corvette E-Ray and the Porsche 911. While both of these cars are awesome in their own right, some key features make the Corvette E-Ray stand out from the competition. It is important to clarify that the Chevy is a hybrid option, whereas Porsche has plans to release a hybrid version of the 911 in the future, but little is known about it at this time. That said, the comparison will be mainly on the Corvette's advantages over the traditional ICE (internal combustion engine) Porsche 911.

It is an American sports car that will completely redefine the industry, and the E-Ray will set the precedent for every muscle and sports car that follows.

10 Features We Want To See In The Upcoming 2025 Chevy Corvette SUV

Chad Daw — Thu, 09 Mar 2023 11:01:17 GMT

The Ford Mustang Mach-E was the first of its kind. A high-performance car that was redesigned to meet the needs of all power-hungry drivers while offering the ability to be a viable daily driver. Why this happened is actually quite simple. People today want power, performance, and top acceleration without giving up the ability to haul groceries, sports equipment, or even luggage for long road trips.

Dimitar Angelov — Wed, 08 Mar 2023 11:00:17 GMT

There is no shortage of Corvette recreations and even the C8 is being subjected to transformations, but you have to appreciate those examples with a high level of execution. Classic Corvettes, especially those from the 1950s and 1960s, have a special place in the hearts of enthusiasts.

10 Must-Do Steps To Gain Horsepower Out Of Your Classic Chevy 350

Chad Daw — Thu, 02 Mar 2023 18:01:17 GMT

Without a doubt, the Chevy 350 is one of the best small blocks that has ever been on the market. Starting back in 1955, the engine was the one that muscle car lovers went after because they were powerful right out of the gate. But even better, if the owner of the car that it sat, in wanted to make improvements, the 350 engine was one of the most accessible engines to find aftermarket parts for. That still stands to this day.

10 Things To Know About Tony Hawk’s Tesla-Powered 1964 Chevy Corvette

Aniket Dubey — Sun, 26 Feb 2023 15:00:16 GMT

Tony Hawk, the legendary skateboarder, is known for his daredevil stunts and love for extreme sports. Recently, however, he has become an advocate for environmental conservation and electric vehicle utilization. His project, a 1964 Chevrolet Corvette that has been modified with Tesla components, demonstrates this. The 1964 Chevy Corvette, part of the second-generation Corvette, also known as the C2, is an iconic sports car that is beloved by many auto fans for its classic style and vigorous power. The vehicle has gained a firm footing in common culture by featuring heavily in countless movies, television shows, and soundtracks.

The Chevy Corvette Sedan Could Kill The Cadillac Brand

Chad Daw — Fri, 24 Feb 2023 19:30:17 GMT

Through the decades, car lovers have seen some of their favorite car brands retire from the industry, giving way to company executives who want to focus on only a few sub-brands. This is simply because the more the sub-brands a company has to offer to consumers, the less they will make on the models they are trying to push. Therefore, fewer options for buyers means that the company can direct the buying trends of the public in the direction they want. These are simple business practices that are effective for the leading umbrella company and beneficial to all new car buyers since all the good aspects of the secondary car lines will be combined into one. One company that may be slotted to retire is the beloved and iconic Cadillac because the people at GM have big plans for the Corvette line.

Why Several Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 Engines Have Been Blowing Up

Bruno Maia — Wed, 22 Feb 2023 14:30:17 GMT

As of recently, you may or may not have come across an article or video suggesting catastrophic failures on brand new Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06. While a case related to one, Marco Garcia seems to have shown precisely that, there are other factors at play here. And one common variable found in all of these cases is that the cars had low miles on them. Another video showed a brand new C8 Z06 doing donuts with less than 1,500 miles on the odometer. No catastrophic failure this time. Just a check engine light, which was reset with a scanner the owner used. He made it clear the car was driving fine and only got that check engine light after doing donuts.

Batman is one of the oldest superheroes, dating back to 1939. Over the years, the caped crusader that dresses like a bat, has evolved numerous times and has had countless interpretations.

The Chevrolet Corvette C8 features a lot of firsts for the iconic American sports car. Although originally meant to be a mid-engine sports car from its inception in 1953, it is only in 2020 we go the first production mid-engine Corvette. The C8 Stingray Corvette was followed by a Z06 model, and it was only a matter of time before a racing version was introduced. The 2024 C8 Z06 GT3.R is, essentially, the racecar version of the Z06 and a replacement for the C8.R. But don’t feel bummed about the Z06 GT3.R not being street-legal because building a C8 Z06 into a GT3.R homage is easier than you might expect.

Plug-in Hybrids have only come to light in the last decade or so with cars like the Mitsubishi Montero PHEV bringing this technology to the masses for the first time.

So, here's a list of 10 cars available for sale in 2023 that showcase the best of modern PHEV technology.

Garret Donahue — Thu, 02 Feb 2023 20:01:16 GMT

By now, most enthusiasts know about the Chevrolet Corvette C8, and although GM benchmarked a 458 Italia, one of the most highly regarded Ferraris ever, the Corvette C8 is very much in a niche of its own. This generation of Corvette is a standout vehicle not only for the sake of being a Corvette but has become an exemplary sports car, even stealing the lunch money off of some modern supercars. Put simply, the C8 is a masterpiece built at the exact right time for an ideal demographic. Here are 10 reasons why it doesn’t get any better than the C8 Corvette.

What To Expect From The Electric Chevy Corvette

Alina Moore — Thu, 02 Feb 2023 12:00:16 GMT

The unthinkable is happening: the era of the V-8 Corvette is coming to an end, and an all-electric future is preparing to replace it. Chevrolet has already made its first steps in that direction with the launch of the Corvette E-Ray - the first hybrid Corvette ever, and by 2035, GM wants its entire lineup to be fully electric, with the Corvette having the same faith. The all-electric Corvette should arrive before the end of the decade, and it will bring new battery technology to improve range, performance, and acceleration.

Here's Why The Chevy C8 Corvette E-Ray Is The Right Way To Embrace Electrification

Theodoros Georgiou — Thu, 02 Feb 2023 01:48:15 GMT

For many decades, the Chevrolet Corvette has been the simpler and less sophisticated sports car. It mostly focused on outright speed rather than track times and luxury. However, recent generations, and especially the latest C8 have changed this. The Corvette has now become a mid-engine beast that can demolish both a straight line and a track. Since we are slowly moving through the production lifespan of the C8, we are starting to receive newer variants. The latest one is the E-Ray C8, a hybrid alternative to the standard car. With the E-Ray, customers get all-wheel-drive, more power, and in many ways, more refinement. So, let’s have a look at what the most sophisticated Corvette so far has to offer.

Edward James — Mon, 30 Jan 2023 21:00:16 GMT

As the old adage says, 'You get what you pay for,' right? Well, not so long ago, Chevrolet introduced another Corvette to the world, and heads are turning at not only how this car looks but at the price tag as well. In 2020, the design of the Corvette went in a completely new direction with the mid-engine placement that undeniably took it from a sports car to supercar status. Being placed in the ranks with cars such as the McLaren GT, Audi R8, Acura NSX, and Lamborghini Huracan certainly exalted Chevy's flagship sports car to a whole new level, and with that came a price increase as well.

10 Things The Chevy Corvette SUV Must Have

Alina Moore — Sat, 28 Jan 2023 20:00:16 GMT

As you probably know by now, Chevrolet is preparing big changes for the future. The Corvette name is about to become a performance-focused electric sub-brand and big surprises are just around the corner. Up to this point, the Corvette name was used for performance and high-performance sports cars, but the future will inevitably include both a Corvette sedan and a Corvette SUV. They will both be electric, and according to GM, they should attract new customers to the brand. But, in order to do so, the Corvette SUV (and eventually the sedan) must offer some never-seen-before, or highly improved, features.

But ten years ago, when the first round of hybrid hypercars was launched, we got a taste of what hybrid technology could really bring to performance cars. It blended the visceral experience of the internal combustion engine with the added benefits of electrification.

Just last week, the company presented the Corvette E-Ray, the third expansion stage of the current generation of its successful super sports car. For sports car enthusiasts it was a genuine premiere as the model is the first hybrid and all-wheel-drive model in the history of the Corvette packing 665 horsepower (481 kW). While this should raise anticipation for the first driving reports, there is now already more news on the next generation Corvette, which is expected at the end of the decade. Enthusiasts of the internal combustion engine should be particularly pleased, as the Chevrolet Corvette will remain true to its first love in its ninth generation.

When it comes to some of the best models America has to offer, the 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and the 2022 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 are, without a doubt, at the top of the list. And, to choose which is actually better is very hard, if not close to impossible.

Despite Being An AWD Hybrid, The Corvette E-Ray Isn't Losing The 'Vette Charm And Lunacy

Ron Muram — Sun, 22 Jan 2023 22:30:17 GMT

Can a Corvette really be a Corvette if it can't do Corvette things? This is what many are asking about the all new 2024 Chevrolet C8 Corvette E-Ray, with its hybrid set up with a 6.2-liter V-8 powering the rear tires and a hybrid electric motor with 1.9 KwH battery powering the front wheels. Together, this package comes together to make 655 horsepower and gives the Corvette all-wheel drive, but a key question enthusiasts are still asking remains - can it do a burnout?

The Corvette Z06 And R35 GT-R Nismo Are No Match For An Insanely Tuned Skyline R34

Ron Muram — Sat, 21 Jan 2023 19:30:17 GMT

How does the new Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 stack up against a Nissan GT-R Nismo and a very heavily modified R34 Skyline in a drag race? Well the guys over that Throttle House found out for you in their latest YouTube video. The old saying may state there's no replacement for displacement, but whoever came up with that phrase must have been unfamiliar with turbochargers. You would think the fire breathing monster that is the C8 ZO6 with its 5.8L V-8 would have no rival on a drag strip, but this video shows there is far more at play.

Dimitar Angelov — Wed, 18 Jan 2023 23:32:06 GMT

The Chevrolet Corvette has been the definitive American sports car since 1953. With the C8 generation that came out in 2021, the model saw its biggest changes yet. The first production mid-engine Corvette was followed by the first Corvette Z06 to feature a flat-plane-crankshaft engine, and now we get the first Corvette to feature hybridization. The Corvette E-Ray opens up new performance capabilities for the C8. The American icon joined the world of hybrid, high-performance vehicles, and its drivetrain allows the car to evolve and become quicker over time.

Ron Muram — Wed, 18 Jan 2023 19:30:17 GMT

What happens when two General Motors legends from the 1990s line up for a good old-fashioned drag race? Recently, the gang over at The Fast Lane (TFL) put on their classics channel a drag race featuring a 1999 Chevrolet Corvette and a 1998 Chevrolet Camaro Z28, and the results are thrilling. Both cars are about the same age and both are powered by the legendary GM LS1 - the Camaro pushing out 305 horsepower while the same engine in the Corvette was tuned a bit differently and made 345 horsepower. So, which one of them is able to put the power to the pavement and get down the drag strip quicker?

Now and then a car comes along that completely shakes up the car market. Regardless if everyone saw it coming from a mile away, it produces a massive splash, and opinions on the subject are aplenty.

This Custom Chevy K5 Blazer Has A Corvette Engine And Ridiculous Performance

Treba Porter — Thu, 12 Jan 2023 22:30:17 GMT

You don't have to be a Bow Tie fan to appreciate Kurt Hill's 1972 Chevy Blazer K5 restoration. This K5 was two years in the making, and Hill played around with multiple motor choices before settling on a Corvette L7 motor and exhaust system, making this build a sort-of K5/C5. Hill utilized the basic Blazer body of a K5 he bought as a roller in 2010. It would be 2016 before he was completely done restoring and tinkering to get it to perfection. Hill joined AutotopiaLA's Shawn Davis for an in-depth discussion about how he revamped this classic ride.

Everything We Know About the Chevrolet Corvette EV

Victor Faeda — Mon, 09 Jan 2023 16:00:16 GMT

Launched for the 2020 model year, the C8 Chevrolet Corvette finally adopted a mid-engined layout, after years of speculation that Chevrolet would shift the engine’s location to behind the driver. While that finally silenced some voices around the car, speculation still remains about future Corvette drivetrains. With effect, the C8 platform might still bring a number of firsts to the Corvette line-up, including the first hybrid, the first electric, and the first all-wheel-drive powertrains. In this article, we’ll cover everything we know so far about the upcoming electrification of the Corvette brand, from the 2023 hybrid Corvette to the (gasp) four-door sedan and SUV models, which are likely coming with the next C9 generation.

The 2025 Chevy Corvette C8 SUV: A URUS Killer In The Making?

Dimitar Angelov — Thu, 05 Jan 2023 11:00:16 GMT

The SUV craze is still going strong and Chevrolet, like many other automakers, could eventually be forced to rethink its lineup in order to stay competitive against the growing number of performance SUVs hitting the road. While Sports cars are by far, the most exciting space for any automaker, they also have the smallest market niche. Even Ferrari couldn't hold off this trend and had to cave with the introduction of its Purosangue.

Dimitar Angelov — Wed, 04 Jan 2023 22:00:16 GMT

The Chevy Corvette has been the definitive American sports car since its inception in 1953. Now, eight generations later, it is the only American car of its kind to carry on. The Viper is dead and the Ford GT is in its last year, which makes the Corvette the last American hero. The iconic model is also one of the most popular platforms to build upon, restore, modernize, and reimagine. AutotopiaLA recently visited California-based shop, Timeless Kustoms and showcased what is, arguably, the most properly executed, 1962 Corvette. Chevy’s sports car is a common subject with us, but here’s what makes this one truly special.

Top 10 Most Powerful Chevrolets Today

Alina Moore — Wed, 04 Jan 2023 20:01:16 GMT

Trying to find the most powerful car in a world where everybody is pushing cars to the max is like looking for the needle in a haystack. Yet, automakers like Chevrolet, Ford, and Dodge have built a tradition around building some of the most powerful cars on the American market. Chevy, for example, started things back in 1911 with the launch of the Series C Classic Six – a 40 horsepower, luxurious vehicle that aimed at Ford’s already established Model T. With a history of more than 110 years, Chevy has seen lots of up and downs, scored victories in racing, and built some of the most powerful vehicles in the world; think for example at the Corvette Callaway SledgeHammer – a sports car that arrived in 1988 with 898 horsepower under the hood. Even today, Chevy is offering some of the most powerful cars in the world. Think of the Corvette Z06, currently powered by the most powerful naturally aspirated V-8 engine offered in a production car. The question is: what are the most powerful cars Chevy is currently offering in the States?

Gabriela Figueroa-Rojas — Tue, 03 Jan 2023 12:00:16 GMT

Have you been to your local racing strip and become pleasantly stunned when someone in their everyday sedan wins a good race? When we think of fast cars, high-dollar signs tend to follow. We don't have to accept high-dollar signs to go fast. Here are 10 dirt-cheap cars that scratch the itch a fast drive provides. You'll find these options starting at under $10,000 for cars in decent condition and up to $15,000 for the ones that are taken care of.

This C8 Chevy Corvette SUV Rendering Previews The Future Of The Corvette Brand

Sam Weber — Mon, 02 Jan 2023 21:45:17 GMT

It is no secret Chevrolet is getting something ready to compete at a major scale with the new Corvette. When the C8 corvette debuted, it was obvious that the car was going to be incredibly competitive with rivals from Europe, and with the Z06 challenging the best from Italy, those predictions have rung true. The Corvette has long been judged by Europeans as a cheaply made sports car, but the newest model has proved that the version is seriously good. Now, word has spread that the model may be becoming its own brand, which could include a Corvette SUV. While some purists may scoff at the idea, this rendering has us hopeful.

This 1969 Corvette ZL-1 Has 560 Horsepower And Is Perhaps The Rarest 'Vette Ever Made

Josh Conturo — Sat, 31 Dec 2022 22:30:16 GMT

There have been numerous special edition or limited Corvettes since the nameplate was created some seven decades ago, but among the 'Vette faithful, some stand head-and-shoulders above the rest for exclusivity and raw performance. The 1969 ZL-1 certainly fits into that camp. The ZL-1, an optional package that cost more than the car itself, defied belief and boggled the mind while demolishing everything in its path. In 1969, just two models of these hyper-quick Corvettes ever left the factory, and one of them will soon hit the auction block at RM Sotheby's.

Treba Porter — Thu, 29 Dec 2022 18:00:16 GMT

The Corvette and Ford GT are not only two of the most iconic nameplates in automotive history, they reside at the summit of American performance. The GT has a storied racing pedigree and is only sold in exclusive numbers while the 'Vette is the obtainable, mid-engine supercar that delivers serious thrills for an agreeable price.

Classic cars may shame their modern counterparts for styling, but the performance of today's cars obliterate those of yesteryear. And that is why the resto-mod market is flourishing, combining classic styling with modern performance to create the best of both worlds. A prime example is this 1958 Chevrolet Corvette that epitomizes the '50s era with its exceptional design and rocket-based styling with a modern powertrain and amenities.

Emelia Hartford needs no presentation, but just in case, she became sensational courtesy of her record-setting C8 Corvette. After lots of mods and updates, her C8 Corvette Stingray delivers a total of 1,200 horsepower, which made it very easy to become the fastest Corvette C8 in the world.

Corvette Will Soon Be A Sub-Brand Of Cars, And This Is What A Corvette SUV Could Look Like

Alina Moore — Tue, 13 Dec 2022 16:01:15 GMT

In a world where Italian automakers like Ferrari and Lamborghini are offering SUVs, and where Porsche proved a long time ago that the same customers that show interest in the 911 lineup can very easily go for a Cayenne SUV, Chevrolet announced that the Corvette will become its own brand. It will happen sometime in 2025, and it will bring to life a four-door coupe and a high-performance crossover - both of them set to be electric vehicles. Such a decision shouldn't surprise anyone, especially when even Ford showed that adding the Mustang name to a crossover could be the recipe for success. So, why shouldn't Chevrolet try to do the same with the Corvette name?

These Are The Classic Cars Expected To Grow In Value Exponentially In 2023

Treba Porter — Mon, 12 Dec 2022 18:30:17 GMT

Hagerty, the insurance provider for specialty vehicles, recently released its annual listing of classic cars that are expected to surge in value for the upcoming year. Hagerty's U.S. Bull Market report lists not only those vehicles typically appearing on its report, but includes a classic motorcycle and microcars as well. According to the Bull Market listing, these eleven vehicles' appearance is due to a compilation of multiple data points, including insurance valuations and market insights. "The common factor is timing," Brian Rabold, Vice President of Automotive Intelligence, contends, "Buying a fun car on its way up means you can use and enjoy it while likely coming out ahead when it's time to sell." It's important to note that the estimated values shared here are contingent upon the vehicle remaining in excellent condition.

The Chevrolet Corvette 35th Anniversary Edition Is A Rare C4 'Vette

Dimitar Angelov — Sun, 11 Dec 2022 19:30:17 GMT

The Chevrolet Corvette may be the definitive American sports car, but it wasn’t always at its best. Whether it was GM’s approach or simply, the times, the fourth-generation Corvette wasn’t considered the sports car’s finest hours. Nevertheless, it was not only a good all-around sports car proposition (for its time), but it also had its fair share of great editions. The 35th Anniversary edition was not the most powerful C4 Corvette, but it was special in its own right. One of the 2,050 examples built is currently being auctioned off on carsandbids.com for what, at the time of this writing, would be considered dirt cheap for a Corvette.

But this model will only be the first step into the all-electric age.

A Custom 2004 Corvette Z06 Wearing A C2 Body Is Certainly Polarizing

Sam Weber — Tue, 29 Nov 2022 18:30:16 GMT

Some cars receive serious attention from their owners and fans in various forms. Some companies create and offer body kits and aerodynamics kits to make cars more aggressive and more capable on the track while others do it to try and make cars more elegant. While body kits from Liberty Walk or Veilside might not be everyone’s favorites, the unique look they give makes them special. Some brands will rework newer cars into older cars and there is always an audience for these, whether it brings back memories or simply because they like the look more. While everyone is entitled to their creativity, sometimes it doesn’t quite work. A customized Chevy Corvette recently listed on eBay is an example.

In the world of engine swaps, there are some powerplants that fit the stereotype for their type of driving. In drag racing, the most common motors are the Coyote V-8 from the Mustang and the LS motor from the Camaro or Corvette, while in drift racing the LS and Toyota’s 2JZ motor are the general go-to options. However, there is a third option in drifting - the rotary motors from Mazda - and these are incredibly popular in certain models in the sport.

In the meantime, most tuners have simply focused on updating the exterior look of the Corvette, and that’s exactly what Liberty Walk has done with its latest wide body kit.

The 2023 Corvette Z06 Isn't Such a Bargain with Options

Dimitar Angelov — Mon, 24 Oct 2022 13:30:15 GMT

The Chevrolet Corvette has been the definitive American sports car since 1953 and America's answer to the European sports cars. While the early C1 model was not much of a performer, the introduction of a V-8 quickly mended that. A few know that the Corvette was always meant to be a mid-engine model, and while not without its issues, it finally happened in 2020 with the C8 Corvette. In 2021, the C8 is offered again as a Z06 version, which is the first Vette to get a flat-plane V-8, similar to those used by Ferrari and McLaren. With a starting price of $106,695, the 670-horsepower C8 Z06 is the most affordable collection of “horses” with a mid-engine layout. However, its options list may have been inspired by the German sports car manufacturers a bit more than many would like.
