A BLOG for the Latest Corvettes: C8, C7 Stingray, C7, C6 Z06, Grand Sport, ZR1 and C5 / Z06!

When it comes to rare Corvettes we tend to gravitate towards the older models like the 1963 Z06’s, 1967-1969 L88’s, and 1957 airbox fuelies. We tend to ignore some of the more recent limited run Corvette models as they haven’t quite yet found their place in Corvette history. Flashback to the 2008-2009 timeframe when GM […]

Photo Credit: Henry Diltz/1973 We searched high and low on the Web for a photo of David Cassidy with his 2009 Corvette but had to settle for this pic of the former teen idol sitting on the hood of a white early 1970s Corvette. Cassidy is in the news, not for a long-awaited album for his teeny-bopper fans (now in their 50s and 60s, by the way), but because he’s having to sell his 2009

Late last summer we partnered up with CORSA Performance and Smokey’s Dyno and Performance on our Operation Air Flow project as a way to show some easy ways to get more power out of your Corvette. We began with a CORSA carbon fiber intake on our 2009 C6 and then backed that up with a CORSA Sport performance exhaust system. For Episode 4, we headed back to Smokey’s for a custom ECM tune to help

Last week at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the National Corvette Museum’s Sinkhole was a topic of conversation for many Corvette enthusiasts but this time its in the news for all the right reasons. Chevrolet used the spotlight of SEMA to showcase the completed restoration of the 2009 Corvette ZR1 Blue Devil prototype that […]
In the early morning hours of February 12th, a large sinkhole opened inside the Corvette Museum’s Sky Dome and swallowed eight Corvettes. Nearly nine months later, General Motors has unveiled the restored 2009 Corvette ZR1 Blue Devil Show car for the 2014 SEMA show. The 2009 Corvette ZR1 Blue Devil was one of two sinkhole […]
It’s time to button up Operation Air Flow. In Episode 1 we installed a CORSA carbon fiber intake on our 2009 Corvette coupe with the help of our friends at Smokey’s Dyno and Performance. Then in Episode 2 they helped us bolt on a CORSA Sport performance exhaust system. Prior to each episode we ran […]

There has been speculation for quite a while about a new 600-700 horsepower “Blue Devil” Corvette. Well yesterday the car hit the track at the Laguna Seca Raceway for a few quick laps (take a look at the video).
The ultimate Corvette has been rumored with many different names: Z07, Blue Devil, SS or Sting Ray. Now according to sources the final name of the super Corvette will be ZR1.
The ZR1 will feature a supercharged version of the new 6.2L V8 in the 2008 Corvette and it will put out somewhere between 600-700 horsepower. According to sources the car will reach 0-60 in the 3 second range and will cost around $100,000. The car is also lighter than the current Z06.
According to GM Vice President Bob Lutz, “This thing has so much power…We’re really into a speed and power realm that General Motors has never been in before. We’re way up there with Porsche Carrera GTs and Ferraris.â€
Expect the official unveiling of the ZR1 at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show.
