[VIDEO] FuelTech Sets a New World Record for Horsepower on the C8 Corvette

[VIDEO] Fuel Tech Sets New World Horsepower Record for the C8 Corvette

We’ve featured the gents from FuelTech previously who have been working on their C8 Corvette for about a year now. FuelTech uses port injection fuel delivery through a custom LT2 intake manifold and a dedicated fuel cell and engine management system to get around the stock C8 Corvette’s encrypted ECU to control their innovative twin-turbo set-up.

Our previous video from them showed their own 2020 Corvette putting out 754 horsepower late last year. Now they are back and have claimed the world record for horsepower on a C8 Corvette with a dyno run of 1075 RWHP. The previous high horsepower benchmark belonged to Emilia Hartford and her twin-turbo Corvette, which set the mark at 1,022 rwhp.

[VIDEO] FuelTech Sets a New World Record for Horsepower on the C8 Corvette

FuelTech’s founder Anderson Dick explains that they were limited in their previous set-up to around 750 hp and 4 psi of boost due to the C8’s stock clutch which would start slipping at those power levels. That’s something we saw previously with the early twin-turbo builds from Late Model Racecraft and Emelia Hartford. A Dodson clutch upgrade from Cicio Performance was performed and with the increase in the clutch disc count and better friction material, FuelTech was able to increase the boost to 21 psi which resulted in a dyno of 1,075 whp and 888 lb-ft of torque.

As part of the video, Anderson also shows off the FT600 engine management system that was integrated into the Corvette’s cup holders. The unit provides an easy-to-read interface showing the car’s RPM, MAP, and dual O2 sensor readings, and it provides a number of customization features at just a touch of a button.

Watch the world record-setting C8 Corvette in action on the dyno:

If you want to learn more about this record-setting twin-turbo Corvette, FuelTech will be debuting a full one-hour-long episode about this car with Anderson Dick on his personal channel: https://youtube.com/andersondick. The episode will be released on Saturday, April 24th at 7:00 AM EST.

[VIDEO] The Corvette Mechanic Paul Koerner Takes a Look at a C8 Corvette’s Wiring Harness

Last week we told you about a C8 Corvette with a blown engine that will soon be replaced by our friend Paul Koerner, who is a GM World Class Technician for Key Chevrolet in Middletown, CT. Paul recently shared this video showing an LT2 V8 with multiple holes in the engine block to his Facebook page, The Corvette Mechanic, and we decided to make some popcorn and pull up a seat to watch the show.

After reviewing the damage to the LT2 engine block, Paul noted that some of the shrapnel nicked the wiring harness so this C8 Corvette Stingray will also have that replaced in addition to the new engine. The good news for the owner of this car is that everything will be covered under the GM warranty.

As Paul is waiting for everything to arrive so he can start the repair, he receives the new wiring harness and gives us a rundown and closer look at it. While it looks like “just a bunch of wires, in truth, this is a finely engineered piece of equipment that’s basically made to stay reliable, stay flexible over a long man, many, many, years of usage.“

This wiring harness has:

Over 100 different connectors
17 different ground sources
Multiple module connectors that connect to the engine, transmission, and other locations

Here is Paul with the rundown:

One other point to add to the wiring harness discussion. There are different versions of the harnesses available and the wiring harness you have is dependent on which equipment you have in your Corvette such as Z51, Front Lift, or Magnetic Ride Control.

[VIDEO] This C8 Corvette Model is Carved Entirely from a Block of Wood

We’ve seen bears, alligators, and other critters chopped out of wood, but our favorite such artistic endeavor has to be this wooden C8 Corvette that features several realistic features.

The woodworking artist behind this work of art remains anonymous, but fortunately for Corvette enthusiasts, he does post his work on a YouTube channel called Woodworking Art.

In this entertaining nine-minute video, you get an idea of just how much tedious work goes into such a creation.

The artist says the wooden car came about after a request by a friend to make a C8, coming on the heels of two other impressive vehicles he had already done – a Cadillac presidential limousine and a 2021 Chevy Silverado HD Carhartt Edition.

When we first started watching the video, we didn’t know how far the artist would be willing to go to make the car realistic. Let’s just say he went the distance, with major attention to detail.

Starting with a rectangular block of wood, he traces an outline of the exterior shape, then proceeds to use a variety of tools to slowly cut, chop, and chisel his way to the finished product. He may have traced the outline, but it’s definitely a talent to keep fine-tuning the wood to make it look very much like a real Stingray.

That includes a steering wheel and four tires that actually turn, a removable roof panel that even stores in the rear trunk, a see-through panel over the engine, and opening doors and frunk. We were amazed at how he was even able to make tread patterns on the tires, the red-painted calipers, and the spokes on the wheels, not to mention the intricate taillights and rear vents.

Asking an internet user to give up nine minutes of his life is a big ask, but we highly recommend watching the way this craftsman plies his trade. After all he took a month and 10 days to create this C8 Corvette.

No Reserve Pandem Widebody C8 Corvette Could Be Yours at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale

It’s no secret that the 8th generation Corvette has become one of the most sought-after cars on the planet today. Immediately after its launch last year, the aftermarket industry began doing its thing. One of the builders we’ve been following closely is Pandem with their bold widebody kit. We first caught wind of Pandem back in September when their renders hit Instagram. Then a couple months later, the real thing was revealed looking like the automotive love child of a stealth fighter and Darth Vader.

If you like your cars modded and have also been in the market for C8, here’s a chance to take out 2 birds with one stone with this Pandem widebody 2020 Corvette rolling through Barrett-Jackson at no reserve later this month. Lot #1090 is finished in Torch Red (looks orange in the photos) and was born as a 3LT Z51 with magnetic ride GT2 seats. It’s now sporting the aforementioned body kit along with a custom leather wrapped red and black interior. Like the black car, this red one also wears that unmistakable monster spoiler out back. Elsewhere we see 20-inch front and 21-inch rear Alpha One carbon-fiber wheels which are wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero tires. The listing states that there’s just 700 miles on the odometer.

Power comes from the 6.2L LT2 which has been treated to a “mild tune”. Spent gasses exit out back through C8 Valvetronic Maxflo exhaust. Carbon fiber tips complete the exhaust’s custom look.

Inside, all the C8 Stingray’s creature comforts remain. The list of features includes the 14-speaker Bose stereo, NAV, HUD, front end lift, HD front camera, heated and vented seats, and the all-important wireless charging dock.

We know that the Pandem widebody kit isn’t for everyone. Still, this will make for a very interesting sale to watch given that this very likely the first heavily modded C8 to be offered at public auction. We already know that nearly new 3LT C8’s will command right around $100,000 in stock form. It’ll be interesting to see what the widebody kit and other mods do to the final hammer price.

Barrett-Jackson’s rescheduled 2021 Scottsdale auction takes place March 20th – 27th at Westworld in Scottsdale Arizona. Keep it tuned here as the dates draw nearer as we’ll continue to preview some of the prime Corvettes heading for the big stage in Scottsdale.

[VIDEO] 2020 Corvette vs Tesla and BMW at the Drag Strip

Youtuber RealWheelDrive aka Matt takes his 2020 Corvette to the drag strip and goes up against the Tesla Model S Performance as well as a BMW that makes over 700 hp.

We know how well the Tesla performs at the track. That instantaneous torque that the electric motors provide makes the EV hard to beat. And that’s pretty much what you’ll see here.

What you’ll see is that almost every case is that Matt gets the jump on them all before getting passed at the end. That bodes well for the upcoming Z06 which should have the additional horsepower to finish these races strong.

But like most guys that drag their cars, beating the guy beside you is pretty sweet but beating your personal best makes you feel like a winner all night. Matt’s best in the quarter mile is currently 11.218 and he’s now rocking a custom exhaust that adds 19 horsepower and 15 lb-ft of torque while saving 30 pounds. Will that help Matt into the 10s? Let’s find out!

GM Issues Technical Service Bulletin Over Incorrect Radio Label on the 2020 Corvette

Photo Credit: Chevrolet

At least no parts are required to fix a Technical Service Bulletin issued recently by General Motors for the 2020 Corvette.

The TSB points out that a label with the wrong radio frequency identification number was affixed to the back of the radio display in the cabin of some C8 Stingrays.

The fix is simple, though. The dealer will just print a new label in color and place it inside the owner’s manual of the affected car. Reports say that GM has corrected the applicable Certificate Identification Numbers for the Near-Field Communication device with an updated label that’s added to the back of the radio display. Owners are also asked to place the letter with the new CIN in the glove compartment with their owner’s manual.

2020 Corvettes in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico are affected by the TSB, but we would assume the remaining 2020 models still waiting to be produced would already have the updated label.

[PICS] 2020 Corvette Wearing Vertini RFS1.9 Custom Wheels Finished in Brushed Dual Gunmetal

/* custom css */

So I was cruising the ‘gram earlier today looking for a suitable subject for #WheelsWednesday when I came across this photo of a Black 2020 Corvette wearing Vertini custom forged wheels.

What struck me about the Vertini RFS1.9 forged wheels is how the spokes resemble blades of a turbine. That design gives the feeling of the Corvette being in motion even while standing still.

I also like the choice of color from the owner (@markoon13). Vertini calls this Brushed Dual Gunmetal and it helps add color to the Black Stingray without going to bright silver or chromies.

The Vertini RSF1.9 wheels are made using the latest German manufacturing process that stretching the wheels with pressurized rollers to the desired sizes. Vertini says the process creates a “lightweight multi-spoke wheels with pleasing aesthetics and aggressive fitments for European, Asian, and American vehicles.” Three levels of concave profiles are available. Two colors are offered with Brushed Dual Bronze joining the Brushed Dual Gunmetal.

The RFS1.9 wheels on this Corvette Stingray are staggered 19×8.5 fronts and 20×11 rears and they each cost $325 and $470 respectively.

Here’s the original post from Vertini Wheels:

Bonus pic! Found this also from Vertini showing the RFS1.9 custom wheels on a Sebring Orange C8 Corvette:

[PICS] Chevrolet Adds Zora to the C8 Corvette’s Windshield

Photo Credit: Dave Salvatore / Kerbeck

Although Chevrolet has already completed a little over half of its planned production of 2020 Corvettes for the year, that doesn’t mean they are done making enhancements as production rolls on. Our friends at Kerbeck Corvette in Atlantic City sent us some new photos from their latest shipment of C8s which just arrived from Bowling Green. The new pics show the addition of two subtle graphics found on the 2020 Corvette’s windshield.

Here is Dave Salvatore from Kerbeck with the news:

“Two of our cars had these additions to the windshield. On the passenger side, lower corner, is a silhouette of Zora Duntov which has to be one of the coolest things I’ve seen on this new car! On the driver side, lower corner, etched into the tint are a set of crossed flags and the words Team Corvette!”

The Zora graphic was used by “Team Corvette” during development as part of the identification system that would allow GM employees into the secure work areas where the car was being developed. The public got its first look at the Zora graphic which were hidden as easter eggs on a camouflaged C8 Corvette as the mid-engine prototype was publically acknowledged for the first time in April 2019 with current Corvette Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter driving GM CEO Mary Barra to a “Tunnels to Towers” celebration in New York City.

For those new to the car, Zora Arkus-Duntov was the Corvette’s first chief engineer who took charge of the under-powered two-door roadster and transformed into a world-class sports car. One of his dreams was always to make a mid-engine Corvette and we know he would be smiling about the current C8 Corvette today.

Dave tells us that the two Corvettes with the new windshield graphics are the highest VINs yet received by the dealer. From the pics, we can one of the VINs is #11077. He has two more truckloads coming in later this week and will confirm if they all contain the new windshield graphics.

Dave rightly concludes that “Now, some Corvette owners will get to have Zora go along for a ride with you every time you take out your C8.” We love that thought as C8 Corvette owners couldn’t ask for a better co-pilot or patron saint than the famous Corvette engineer!

[VIDEO] Corvette Exterior Design Manager Kirk Bennion Breaks Down the Key C8 Design Features

While the new mid-engine layout for the 2020 Corvette has done wonders for performance, it’s also made life better for the designers.

That’s the word from exterior design manager Kirk Bennion/A> in this interview with A.J. Waters of Business Insider.

“This is clearly the biggest change we’ve done within Corvette’s architecture,” Bennion explains in the video. “So it gives us an all-new proportion and an all-new vehicle. We’ve also taken the occupant from where they were in the previous generation and moved them forward 16 1/2 inches.”

In the interview, Bennion breaks down the design of the all-new eighth-generation Corvette, beginning with the fact that it all started out as a “wheel oriented” design.

“That means that when you look at the profile of the fenders,” he explains, “we’re basically, we’re drawing them right over the wheels. It’s almost like you’ve taken the wheels and pushed them up into the body.”

That results in muscular fenders and quarter panel, he says, and also allows the car to remain agile at high speeds by creating a low center of gravity.

After placing the wheels, the designers moved on to the rake of the car, or basically making the side of the car slope upwards at an angle from front to rear.

Corvette Exterior Design Manager Kirk Bennion Breaks Down Key C8 Design Features

“You’ll notice that the rear fascia has kind of gotten taller as the years progress,” Bennion says. “And that’s because within our aerodynamic package, the car wants to have a bit of a wedge to it.”

The resulting high deck lid helps alleviate turbulence or drag at the back of the car, but it also makes the rear end look tall and thick, not thin and sleek as Corvettes of earlier generations were.

“So, when we got into the back of the car, we created this lower rear fascia that’s always black,” Bennion says. “And that’s real important to make the car look lighter.”

That black strip along the bottom makes the rear end look thinner than reality and also draws most of the attention to the double-digit tail lamps on each side.

“Double-digit means that you’ll have two on either side,” Bennion says. “These are more impactful. You know, they’re just not a shape, but they’re, they have a lot of gesture, a lot of direction to them.”

That means, when you’re half a block away from the car, you immediately know this is the new 2020 Corvette, “just by the footprint of those tail lamps,” Bennion says.

As A.J. points out, the new mid-engine layout and aggressive detailing help the new Stingray look like an exotic supercar, but it still remains true to its long-time mission, he says, “guided by the same principles as every generation before it: an affordable sports car that refuses to compromise on performance and driving experience.”

Corvette Delivery Dispatch with National Corvette Seller Mike Furman for Aug 9th

Criswell Chevrolet’s Mike Furman delivers new Corvettes to his customers who come from all across the country to work with the nation’s top individual Corvette seller.

After taking last week off, we have another exciting edition of Mike’s ‘Sunday Post’ which we may just refer to as Red Corvette Sunday as five of the seven new 2020 Corvettes he shares deliveries of were either Torch Red (4) or Long Beach Red (1). However, we do get a look at two new colors for 2020, Rapid Blue and Accelerate Yellow. Mike shares a story that helped set the stage for being the Corvette sales expert that people turn to whether they are ordering from him or not. This week’s collection of vintage and throwback photos is outstanding so make sure you comment on your favorite(s).

Visit Mike’s facebook page for even more photos and videos of his new Corvette deliveries: CorvetteFurman.

~It sure is fun delivering new Corvettes on a steady basis. Patience is difficult at best when waiting for America’s #1 Sportscar especially because of the mid-engine design. The 2020s are getting produced through the end of November and it’s been a long wait and plenty of start and stops. Having never experienced a world event such as a pandemic it’s been trying at best. But the common thread of all that has taken delivery of their new C8 is that it’s so well worth the wait! That’s my customer’s words, not mine!

**~** Now for the Corvette story that I have never told anyone and it will explain why I assist everyone, not just my customers or dealership for that matter. Back in 1984, I was looking at buying a 1967 Corvette but I needed help as it was a lot of money (at the time) and I was only 24. I had heard/known of a guy from NJ that had a Corvette buying service that would help people buy old Corvettes and he would charge $100 for his experience, knowledge, etc. Everyone looked up to this guy and he had known me from the dealership and car shows so I thought I would give him a call. As soon as I called him and he heard what I wanted to talk about he asked for my credit card… I am sure I was nieve thinking because we knew each other that he would answer a few quick questions…but that ended that conversation quickly and we never spoke again. I was a pure hobbyist and enthusiast seeking info but quickly learned not everyone is so kind. From that day on I vowed to assist every car hobbyist/enthusiast in every way possible which has branched out over the decades to many fellow salesmen, GM’s, and dealers across North America and Europe for that matter. I’ve been on the forums since 2002 with an alias account and have over 35,000 responses to people before I became a sponsoring member in Feb 2012 as [email protected] I don’t look at other dealerships as my competition and never have, I actually have great professional relationships with dozens of Chevrolet dealers and I certainly count every Corvette enthusiast as a friend. There is a reason why I have sold and delivered 4,600 Corvettes and 8,000 other vehicles. www.corvettefurman.com

~Next Saturday the 15th I will be attending (with my C8) the Vettes for Vets Corvette show in Haymarket, VA. Held at the Willing Warriors Retreat 16013 Waterfall rd.

-Aug 27th-29th I will be at Corvettes at Carlisle. Carlisle Fairgrounds Carlisle, PA. I will have my Blade Silver C8 on display at the Spring Mountain Race Track tent on the Midway infield.

~Pretty cool sighting in our Criswell Corvette service lane the other day. Two(2) 2019 ZR1’s in Sebring Orange with the Orange design pkg. I delivered 54 total 2019 ZR1’s but it’s rare to see two back to back like this.

~Not a Chevrolet Corvette but…my customer/ Michigan friend works for a very large insurance company and had my name put on the hood of Martin Truex Jr’s #19 race car for the next two weeks! C8 delivery time…

~Adam Pitale of Colorado is the Founder of Adam’s Polishes which is the official Products of the Corvette brand…I’ve attended many events all over the USA with Adam and the one constant is he reminds me so much of my long-gone brother it’s incredible. So to say we have a friendly bond seems to come up short in my description. This week he picked up his new torch Red 2020 Z51 and “gifted” it to his Father, Tony. Adam flew from Idaho to California as I had it drop shopped for courtesy delivery in Carlsbad, California where Tony lives. The two of them called me as they were driving and they sounded like two little kids on Christmas morning. I couldn’t be happier for both of them. My only regret is not being able to hand them the keys myself! Adam attended my C7 corvette owners school at Spring mountain race track with his college friend and this October he and his father are attending my C8 corvette owners school in Pahrump, Nevada.

~James B. of Stillwater, Minnesota placed his factory order for a 2020 Corvette Z51 in Torch Red with the two-tone Natural/black interior with microfiber inserts. 3LT pkg, tan seat belts, a visible carbon-fiber roof, red calipers, and black wheels are a few of the options that make Jim’s new Corvette stand out. Jim wanted to have Criswell do the PDI and he thoroughly enjoyed the 1,100-mile ride home to Minnesota. Jim wrote me a glowing letter upon returning home. His first new Corvette was in 1967! ~Bill K. Splits time between Florida and Urbanna, Virginia. He had owned a Red/red 1964 Corvette for 37 years and sold it for a 2009 Corvette…this past week he drove away in his new torch red with adrenaline red 2020 Corvette Stingray coupe. The red calipers match up perfectly! The common theme among my C8 customers at delivery is that they are so glad they waited! Words from Bill…”Mike,

“Can’t even begin to thank you for all you have done for me with this 2020 Vette. From the very beginning getting me on your list 2 years ago and all the follow-up calls and emails supporting my delivery today, you have been a total professional. It was a pleasure to communicating with you!

About the car. I took the country way rt 117 through Boyds, and rt 28 all the way to Point of Rocks and then south on 15 and 17 home 200 miles instead of 145. What a car. It is like on rails! It feels like it only weighs 1500 pounds. It is very agile, maneuverable, and powerful. It is such a pleasure to drive! I flew fighters for the Navy off the carriers, (F4s and A4s) I felt right at home, in the cockpit. I really like the non-mag ride, it gives plenty of feels and takes care of the harshness at the same time. The car is a dream in all respects.

Please celebrate and let all know when #5000 arrives, that will be so special….

Thanks for giving me the advice to hang in there 3 weeks ago. Your advice was spot on! This is one hell of a car!

Thanks for the advice to ignore some of the stuff in the car, during the drive home. There is a lot to learn.

I think you were just as excited as I was today, during the delivery. You gave me just what I needed to know to get down the road and be safe.

Thanks for all the photos, ( and the FB post) AND the poster which I will frame.”

Bill Kurz

~Sean F. of Leesburg, Virginia has bought 6 Corvettes from me now as this week he took museum delivery of this stunning Rapid Blue 2020 Z51 coupe with 3LT and two-tone Blue interior. Sean brought his father along for the experience in Bowling Green, KY…in Sean’s own words” Hey Mike. Thanks again for making this purchase and trip for my father and me possible. We got back late last night and I have to say that the C8 has really exceeded my expectations. I was able to get in Sunday afternoon to see the car staged at the museum and all I could say was wow! Pictures do not do this car or the Rapid Blue color justice.

I’ll admit that I thought several times about canceling my order, COVID, new house, new job, all had me questioning whether this was a good idea but now that I have the car I am so glad I didn’t. We drove the 640 miles home yesterday in just under 12 hours and what a great car to just clip miles off on. It was quiet, smooth, comfortable, and got ~25 MPG. Plus we had a room up front to bring a big box of Kentucky bourbon home. The car puts power down really well and with the short gears and the DCT, it is more than enough on the street. I can’t wait to get back out and drive it.

The ride went pretty smoothly and we didn’t see any rain, just some wet roads the last couple of hours. Everywhere we stopped (including the middle of nowhere in WV) people would come over to talk about the car and eventually you got used to people coming up next to you on the highway to take photos, video, give you a thumbs-up, etc.

I don’t know if I ever told you about my dad and I driving the C6Z back from BG in 2007 but we ended up running right over a deer carcass in the middle of the night and made a poor route choice which put us on some dark twisty mountain roads late at night. Well, we were doing really well yesterday but I didn’t realize that Waze had routed us all the way North to Cumberland and then down a bunch of dark twisty roads to Winchester. That made the last couple of hours in the dark interesting and I came up over a hill to find a deer carcass in the middle of the two-lane road. Again all I could do was straddle the carcass and while I felt a thump on the underside of the car everything seems to be undamaged.

I’m scheduled to be at Summit Point this weekend with Hooked on Driving. I’m bringing the C7 to drive but I’m also going to be doing lead/follow for the novice drivers. I’m going to bring the C8 up as well for the lead/follow and to show it off.”

Thanks and take care,
Sean

~Barry S. of Chattaroy, Washington has a tough choice between the Corvette he bought from me or the nostalgia of his bubble top Chevy! In his own words…”What fun, both of them rumbling in the driveway. Unsolicited comments: Obviously I love Corvettes, but I have been a critic for years on their paint jobs. Always felt they could do better, i.e. orange peel. Well, the GM investment in the new paint facility really shows. The paint job on my C8 is absolutely flawless, brilliant, and smooth as glass. The new interiors are much improved – again. I thought my C7 was so improved it moved into a new league of its own. The C8 is yet again improved into another league of its own. American at its best. Thank you for taking my order and following through. Now for the decision to keep or sell the ‘61 Bubbletop In order to get a 2021 Convertible.” ~Dan and Mary W. of Glen Burnie, MD bought their C7 from me and this week they took delivery of their C8. Torch Red Z51 2020 Corvette coupe with Adrenaline Red interior and code Q8S Sterling Silver trident wheels. I spoke with their son in law and they are over the moon loving this new C8. ~Larry J. of Livingston, Texas has ordered two Corvettes from me, a 2017 and now 2020. This past week he and his wife took delivery at the Corvette Museum in KY. Larry is thrilled with his Torch Red Z51 Coupe equipped with all the goodies!

~Bill and Marty L. of Cincinnati, Ohio placed their factory order for an Accelerate Yellow 2020 Corvette Z51 with Natural Color interior. Last week they took delivery at the Corvette Museum and were thrilled with the whole process. Bill drove his new mid-engine Corvette the 235 miles home from the museum. Lori and Shane did a great job handling the museum process! Equipment: Competition seats, CF full-length stripes, front lift, CF interior trim, red calipers, black wheels, engine appearance pkg, and 3LT pkg. I just called to follow up and Bill was beyond happy with their new Corvette. Hard to find two finer people! ~The Frank Class Corvette barn find and throwback section…post up your favorite picture. 2011 Lemans…pre race festivities.
