Bone-stock drag race proves that horsepower isn’t everything when it comes to getting the win.

Youtuber Savagegeese pitches a case for buying a yesteryear Corvette over the hot-new mid engine version.

Heads will turn at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds as the event remembers 1970 Corvettes, Aug. 27.

Naturally, Chevy’s C8 ‘Build & Price’ tool renders a 3LT with Z51 package and identical options for far less. 

Mike Davenport, aka “Chevy Dude,” launches his C8 to victory with the Z51 package.

Though there are plenty of C8 Corvettes currently for sale, none of them seem to be an “as-delivered” base model sans options.

Planned on putting your name down for a mid-engine C8? Well, you missed your chance—for now.
