\"c8<\/p>\n

Since the C8 was first announced in 2019, rumors immediately started flowing about the future C8\u2019s variants that would be coming down the road.<\/p>\n

The first performance\/Track Ready variant that was expected to hit the market was the Z06. All the rumors suggested it would be announced along with the 2022 market year C8, and with vehicles arriving in the second half of 2022, but we may have to wait a bit longer for it.<\/p>\n

According to GM Authority, the Z06 has been delayed until the 2023 model year. The report does not say whether this delay will push back the other variants, but that seems likely, as Chevy is very unlikely to want to announce two different high performance model options during the same model year; something GM has never done in its history.<\/p>\n

The other variants we expect are the E-Ray (base C8 with all-wheel drive hybrid components), the Corvette ZR1 (a twin turbo Z06), and the Zora (a 1,000hp ZR1 with E-Ray\u2019s all-wheel drive electric components)!<\/p>\n

According to Sportscar365, the Michigan-based team is currently in the process of building an additional Corvette C8.R chassis in order to compartmentalize its IMSA and FIA WEC programs. The No. 4 Corvette C8.R that won its class in last weekend\u2019s IMSA round at Detroit will become the No. 64 car for Le Mans, while the No. 63 car that raced at the FIA WEC 6H of Spa season opener last month will remain in Europe for Le Mans in August.<\/p>\n

Jeff M.\u2019s 1965 and 2021<\/p>\n

White or red? I\u2019ve had the award winning \u201965 327\/350HP Factory A\/C convertible (one of about 160), since Corvette Mike did the pre-buy inspection for me 32 years ago. And it\u2019s still serviced there. It was previously owned in the mid 80\u2019s by actor Scott Baio, and I have ownership information back to the second owner with a pictures from 1966. It\u2019s promised to my son. I took delivery of the 2021 Torch Red C8 Convertible in February after waiting a year and a half for it. It replaced a C7 convertible. Which replaced a 2003 convertible, which replaced a 40th anniversary convertible I sold to Corvette Mike. And so it goes.<\/p>\n

What Mike Likes about this Corvette:

<\/em> \u201cFrom an amazing collection of all things on 4 wheels and big engines. Including really BIG ENGINES with aluminum heads from 1967, 1968 and 1969!!<\/p>\n

So this artist rendering of blade silver trimmed with spice colored top and chairs makes you want to jump up and down with joy!! \u00a0But please buckle up while seated and hang on because the G Force acceleration will surely pull your cheeks back to touch your ears! \u00a0Ever heard that one before? \u00a0Not likely unless you are accustomed to cars with 650 plus horsepower. Not for the faint of heart mind you. \u00a0I\u2019ve driven this beast and I\u2019m here to tell you the surgery was painless pulling my cheeks back forward. \u00a0I left the grin from ear to ear in place.<\/p>\n

Now everyone knows I drive a Z06.<\/p>\n

Any takers for the silver bullet before she heads to BaT??\u201d<\/p>\n
