welcoming corvette owners from around the world keith cornett from corvette blogger is back
3:15
every other week to get us up to date on the latest news and headlines in the world of corvette and boy we have a lot
3:21
of them keith how's everything going steve glad to be here great week for corvettes as of course and anxious to talk about them with you
3:27
and your audience we've got a lot to cover my friend first off the production update let's give everybody a 2021 production update
3:35
yeah so last time we talked the plant was actually closed that was the first week of march and so we wanted to figure out exactly
3:40
where we were so as of this week they've actually completed over 7 500 corvettes for the 2021 model year
3:47
wow when it reopened they did 916 that week and then last week they did 930.
3:52
they'll probably do a similar number here as we look forward ahead if we can make it again through the end of july or so without any more
3:59
disruptions we're still looking about 23 5 to 24 000 corvettes that'll be built for this
4:06
model year so it's a solid production number if they can get to it but like i said they've been cranking out
4:11
over 900 per week the last two weeks so that's a really good sign that's a great number and it was also good to see that the high wing spoiler
4:18
and the black trident wheels are back and in stock yeah you know the black trident wheels are a item that's in demand
4:25
and our understanding is that they were able to make the front ones okay but the rear ones were the ones that what we're
4:31
dealers were waiting on so we understand that those are now back and can be ordered today
4:36
the high wing of course has been gone since last july and in fact it was our constraint since
4:41
last march wow so the fact that it's now back we expect that to be orderable through the dealer system
4:48
sometime in early april of course you can get it now through chevrolet accessories or you can go to your dealer and order it through the
4:53
parts window but yeah that's great because i think people really like the high wing especially those that didn't do the z51
4:59
package you know they still want to put a spoiler on the back right so the high wing makes a lot of sense and again that people
5:05
tend to like that look so it's a good looking wing i definitely like that look if i had a c8 i would get one of those
5:11
high wings for sure speaking of the c8 keith if you haven't done your first oil change there's a little bit of confusion about when
5:18
and how you can get that done free of charge why don't you clear up all the confusion about that
5:23
so chevy gives you a free oil change for the first year or 7 500 miles on your car the confusion
5:30
is that if you go over that we think 7 500 miles i think is what most people it ends up sticking to people's minds
5:36
right but you actually want to get it done within that first year and you receive a notice about the oil
5:42
life system not being reset within the last 12 months as you get close to that anniversary of your
5:48
ownership so our friend jeremy welborn took his car in he got the notification from onstar
5:53
that his date was coming up and so he took it in and was able to get that free oil change as provided by chevy when you do
5:59
purchase a new corvette that's great well it was very confusing and i'm glad to know that at least you still get your
6:05
first oil change you just have to do it within the first 12 months exactly also there is a technical
6:11
service bulletin a tsb on some of the c8s having problems with the drain hoses
6:16
on the hvac unit what's going on with that well these are typically found in the passenger side footwell and that's where
6:22
it is for the corvette and it really just sounds like an installation error where the hose the drain hose isn't
6:29
fully integrated into the drain hole itself and of course what happens is if it's not
6:35
pushed in there fully you end up getting water in the carpet on the foot well so if you end up seeing some dampness down
6:41
there water that's exactly what it is okay the technical service bulletin means that it's not a recall you don't
6:46
have to take it in but the next time you have your car in for service they do take a look at that just to make sure that it is fully
6:53
seated so again it sounds like it was a installation error at the plant these things happen you know the plant
6:59
with the different challenges that they're facing especially personnel wise with covid and people being out
7:04
you're covering people and you're bringing other people in so it is probably just somebody not quite getting that job but
7:11
done all correct well that's not as bad as the front lift fluid leak on the c8 now there's a video
7:16
on how to fix that but that has a bigger problem than the one we were talking about before yeah again this is something that gm
7:23
says is only limited to 150 cars but i think it's actually a little bit higher than that on the front lift system you know it
7:29
uses the dot-4 hydraulic brake fluid to operate the front end lift this cap
7:34
that they have on there is vented so it's got a small hole or slit in it and then it's got these channels around the edges
7:40
if you saw this video on our website this guy monstered a gopro camera down in there so he could see the fluid as it was
7:47
being pumped in and out it really moves a lot of fluid back and forth into the system when it's being utilized
7:53
what he was seeing was that especially if the car is on an incline it's throwing more that fluid up against
7:59
the cap and if that hole in that cap is a little bit larger than it should be people have noticed that the fluid is
8:05
actually leaking down onto the reservoir onto the ground but it's also going down the chassis
8:10
and that stuff's very corrosive so you want to get that off there so their fix to do that is a non-vented cap it's like
8:16
a 66 part according to our friend over at corvette conti it's a blue cap and they put it on and now it doesn't have any
8:22
vents and so that should fix the leaking of it but it's a good idea to check just to see your car so if you open up your
8:28
front and then you have that trim panel around the top part of it if you pop that off you can see your
8:34
front lift reservoir there and then if you just look around you'll put your hands down in there see if you feel any fluid
8:39
and if so you might want to investigate getting this cap well it sounds like a quick and simple fix
8:44
and hopefully it's something that'll be easy for every c8 owner to do yeah we believe so i think what they're
8:50
going to go moving forward is this new cap will be on the car so it's something to take a look at absolutely also kelly blue book is
8:57
reporting that the c8 offers the best resale value for any sports car that was good to see so in this resale
9:04
value awards it's not just this current car they look back at the last five years of data and see how it projects
9:10
forward so that's what they're looking at now is with the c8 corvette projecting it forward that it's going to have this high resale
9:16
value they've always done very well anyways but because of the demand of the car we think that it's actually going to do
9:22
better and of course so does kelly blue book wow that's really cool to hear also keith let's solve some confusion about
9:28
price protection for the 2021 c8s there's a lot of confusion going on about that
9:33
and you've got the definitive answers here i think back on march 1st it was announced that there would be a thousand
9:38
dollar increase across the board on the 2021s coupe and convertible models a gm spokesman had confirmed that there
9:45
is going to be price protection for those that have orders that are at event status 1100 or higher as of march 2nd so what we
9:52
heard from a guy that had picked up his car within that week there was some confusion from the dealer
9:57
on how that price protection was handled and the way it works out is essentially
10:03
that the customer is going to get the invoice and it's going to show that new thousand dollars on top of it
10:08
but what happens what's supposed to happen is that they end up giving the dealer the price
10:14
protected amount so minus that thousand dollars and then gm reimburses the dealership for that that's the way we're hearing i
10:20
think that most larger dealers and those that work with corvettes a lot will automatically do this but some of the smaller dealerships we
10:27
were talking how many chevrolets are price protected that you know of well not very many obviously right so it's
10:32
just a matter of notifying them hey you know i am price protected and make sure that your dealership knows that you know that you're price protected and
10:38
that should really solve any of those issues that's good to hear well keith let's take our first break in segment number

and now back to corvette today with your host and my husband steve garrett hey thanks
13:09
for listening to corvette today the podcast that talks about everything corvette i'm your host steve garrett
13:15
with me every other week is keith cornett from corvette blogger we keep you up to date on what's going on in the world of
13:20
corvette in the world of corvette racing keith we're hearing some rumors autosport is reporting the general
13:27
motors is considering dropping corvette racing tell me that is not true my friend you
13:32
know i don't think that is true i think that was a headline designed to get some people to look at some stuff over at autosport of course we picked it
13:39
up but as we went through her comments on that article it didn't exactly line up it seems to me
13:44
that the focus for the future of corvette racing and this is also for the future of cadillac racing
13:50
is who's going to get that top spot to run the lmdh prototypes these are the ones that are
13:55
going to be the top class at le mans so anybody that's racing those gets to go for the overall win at le mans
14:01
they're evaluating whether they want to do cadillac there or whether they want to do corvette racing there but we're also
14:06
hearing that there's a lot of things up in the air about what's going to happen next year at imsa so whether
14:12
we know that gtlm's going away and that they're going to do a gt3 program and we're hearing now just today that
14:20
it doesn't appear like they're going to be able to have a car ready in time for 2022 in the gtd pro class
14:27
in imsa so the question is what do you do then we've been hearing that they might go
14:32
over to the wec next year which is where they still have the gtlm program over there still
14:38
they might do some sort of modified gtlm gt3 car or imsa and see if they can get a waiver
14:45
of course there's no customer car so they're not homologated but we've seen other manufacturers do this as well
14:50
i don't think that's really ideal either so the future of motorsports for sports car racing is just completely
14:57
up in the air right now there's really no good answers we're just really kind of having to bide our time and see what happens
15:03
well i hope everything works out well i'd hate to see corvette racing go away that's for sure but in the world of corvette racing we
15:10
did get two invites for le mans and we confirmed our entry at the spa race as well
15:15
yeah that's exciting so you know when we last talked we were going to portugal first right but they moved that date so they
15:20
moved the opener to wec at spa the beginning of may and so we're
15:25
going to run oliver gavin and antonio garcia are going to run a single car there and from what we understand we
15:32
don't know then if they're still engaged with the portugal race or not if they're going to do two tune-ups or
15:37
they're going to do just the spa race and then lemon so we're still kind of waiting to see how that's gonna shake out but it's big
15:43
news we got our invites to lemon of course they moved the dates for lamar so now we're looking at august 21st and
15:50
22nd it does make a couple changes to the imsa calendar but only after le mans so what they've
15:56
done is petite le mans usually ends in october again they push that off to november and scheduled another race in there as
16:02
well so it looks like everything's gonna be set they move the dates to le mans to try to get more fans to be able to go
16:07
obviously that would be key for the continuation of the event but it's good to see that we've got two
16:12
corvettes there in le mans they're going to be racing against the ferrari's porsches as well as a imsa 911 that's going to be over there
16:20
as well so it should be a good class and we have as good chance as anybody's winning it and it's been a while since we've won le mans i think it's been
16:26
2015. it's time to get over there and show them what america can do i'm looking forward to le mans that's for sure
16:32
also this is very cool keith corvette racing legends are going to be offering instruction at the performance track day
16:38
event at the national corvette museum give us the insights on what's going on with that sure so
16:43
this is an event that's been put together by race car drivers darren law and johnny o'connell they call it a performance track day and
16:50
unlike a spring mountain that's always at spring mountain these guys rotate they go to different tracks so you know if you can't travel or you can only
16:56
travel a little bit they come to your track so these guys are doing this performance track event at the ncm motorsports park in bowling
17:04
green and they've got jordan taylor who's obviously a current driver will be there but former drivers dan magnussen will be
17:11
there of course andy pilgrim johnny o'connell and doug feehan is sort of acting as like a keynote speaker and
17:17
he'll be leading on some of the other stuff as well so it looks like a really good event very nice i like that i'd like to go and
17:23
do that myself and just imagine you're driving and you have dan magnuson or jordan taylor sitting next to you giving
17:29
you instructions you know how to handle this curve how to handle this turn where braking zones to optimize
17:34
your driving and boy just one or two track sessions with those guys i'm sure you're going to pick up something from it so it'd be
17:40
very exciting to do that it would make my day that's for darn sure
17:46
also corvette racing at sebring has a new racing livery that looks phenomenal yeah this really caught a lot
17:51
of people by surprise and we understand that this is just a one race only thing oh commemorating 25 years of technical
17:58
partnership between corvette racing and mobile one okay of course mobile one is our factory fill
18:03
that's been factory filled in corvettes since the 90s they've been with corvette racing since the very beginning so just a one-off
18:09
thing what they've done is both cars have the silver base and then the number three car has a red trim
18:15
around it with a red hood stripe and racing stripe and then the number four cars got white trim with a white hood stripe on it
18:22
it looks good it's gonna be a little difficult though i'm so used to looking for the yellow
18:27
cars in the race i know you guys gotta train the mine to look for silver well it'll be fun to see it
18:33
at least for one of the races it looks really really good yeah i have no problems with them changing up things
18:38
here and there i think it's a little fun obviously we would be great to get something back like we saw in in the
18:43
late 2000s with the big jake on the side of the car where they did the yellow car in the black car right it's a very nice looking livery
18:50
and it should be a lot of fun for those guys to see it it's kind of like a special edition corvette only it's corvette racing
18:56
exactly yep and i'm one off too so one off as well in the rumors category keith this was
19:01
very very interesting we saw a c806 with 345
19:07
25 21 tires you know we've seen these tires before on the cars and there's
19:12
wide steam rollers there's no doubt about that i mean they're just super wide so the question was are we running the 335s
19:19
like we saw on the c7 z06 and the zr1 or would they actually be larger and of
19:24
course they ended up being larger this credit goes out to a guy named corvette ron himself who just ran across
19:30
a testing session a test engineers you know out driving their cars in southern arizona so pretty interesting picture again 335s
19:37
and they're 21 inches as well so it looks like the z06 might do a 20 inch front and a 21 inch rear
19:43
and that'll be the first time that corvettes have offered a wheel that big so again just more news coming out on these cars is
19:49
every time they go out in public there's an opportunity to learn something new about it well they've always had 1920s but i'll tell you what the 2021s look
19:56
great on the corvette setup i think it'll be great for the z06 i think so as well also in our final topic on the rumor
20:02
section shipping corvettes by rail might become a thing of the past i bet everybody on the west coast is
20:08
loving to see this boy this would be big news now we're still trying to track this down this comes from our friend morgan crosby up
20:15
at vince chevrolet in london ontario he was filming for his carson crosby youtube channel
20:20
and was showing these cars being unloaded and he was talking to one of the drivers there from jack cooper transport they drive the corvettes around to the
20:26
different dealers and it was in that conversation that he learned that one of the changes might be happening is that no more cars being
20:33
shipped out to the west coast by rail and it's just because of the number of delays that happened on the east coast you can get your car
20:39
literally within days after it's built but on the west coast it can take up to four sometimes even longer than that
20:45
four five six weeks yes and a lot of it has to do with just the logistics of loading and unloading all those cars
20:51
there's competition for rail cars in general so they obviously have to wait for one to come available if they're not
20:58
and again these cars as they're loaded and unloaded there's always a chance that something could happen to them so the
21:03
best news would be they load them up once at the plant and then they unload them at the dealership as opposed to having to do these multiple transfers
21:10
that would be huge news we're hoping it comes true we're reaching out to our contacts to see if they've got anything
21:16
that they can share with us so stay tuned on that one absolutely that'll be a big big thing for corvette
21:21

the amount of 777 777 now i just checked and the ebay
24:18
auction ended with zero bids so not real surprising there these cars generally the especially the
24:24
c3 l88s tend to sell around the 450 600 mark right and in fact remember we just
24:31
talked about a 69 le-88 in black that was on bring a trailer that sold for 610 000
24:38
exactly it sounded like the guy was was setting that price at that unique number 777 777 that he was really testing the
24:45
waters and seeing if there was people interested i bet we see this car again i don't know if it'll be on ebay perhaps it'll go to a
24:52
traditional auction or it'll end up on like bring a trailer we did see bring a trailer has another l88 for sale there so it seems like
24:58
owners saw what that black corvette did that sold for 610 again above the market average and said
25:04
hey this looks like a new place a new venue let's start putting cars there so i think we might see some more cars over bring a trailer these l88s and
25:11
some other highly collectable cars but for james garner's car i bet we'll see that coming up again well keep your eyes peeled and keep us
25:18
on top of what's going on with that car we'll do also prochargers tested their first supercharged
25:23
c8 and it's on the track what's going on with that this is pretty exciting we've seen some of the youtubers go with the turbo
25:30
charging kits on the cars so pro charger is going to be i think the first one to come out with actually a supercharger kit
25:36
in their test they were doing they said around 700 horsepower with the systems in place and that was
25:42
between eight and nine pounds of boost like the youtubers with their turbo cars
25:48
if you get the boost too high that's when the internals of the engine can't handle it that's what we saw cars start blowing up because they don't
25:54
have the ability to really get in there and do all the fine tuning that they need because the ecms are still locked
25:59
right so we're seeing a lower boost that eight to nine boost but they're still getting 700 horsepower out of it i think
26:05
these cars are gonna be screamers it's gonna be interesting to see how they hold up as well as how they perform and talking about people that have a c8
26:11
turbocharged car amelia hartford now has the fastest c8 on the planet
26:16
what did she do to her c8 give her credit she's been out there she's been wrenching on her cars
26:22
she's been learning from her mistakes they had this turbocharger on a car it ended up blowing the engine
26:27
so they ended up doing a built engine around it they ended up taking the engine out and getting a built up one in there she ran a 9.41
26:35
on the track wow and i think beat the record by nearly half a second so just incredible
26:41
runs there by her and again hats off to her because she's obviously making money on youtube and
26:46
putting that money right into her car and getting it to do some amazing things again i think we're just really setting
26:52
ourselves up for what the future of corvette's going to be for the c8s the z06 zr1 but the fact that she's been able to do
26:58
this with the stingray is pretty incredible also we saw some low mileage brickyard 400 parade cars
27:04
and indy 500 pace cars up for sale as well this came to us from a guy a collector
27:09
these are low mile cars i think that they range from 400 miles to about 1500 miles
27:14
we have the contact details there but one of the cars was featured in the very first running of the brickyard
27:20
400 at indianapolis wow that adds the distinction of being one of the largest spectator races for
27:26
nascar i think over 280 000 people were there jeff gordon won he was only 23 years old at the time that's how far back it is
27:32
but these were parade cars that were used in there and then one of them's also an indy 500 pace car as well so
27:37
people looking for collectible cars and especially low mile cars we do have the contact details on our website that sounds good
27:43
also in the category of what were they thinking we saw a batman type of c8 corvette
27:49
it was black and it was white it was a two-tone car yeah but we're not talking like the bottom part's white the top
27:54
part's black if you're looking straight on at the front of the car it's parted right down the middle right
28:00
the driver's side is all white and then the passenger side is all black then you go over and look at the
28:05
driver's side wheels they're white and then the passenger side wheels are black the same style wheels
28:11
but it's definitely brings back the whole two-face character from the batman forever movie with jim
28:17
carrey and tommy lee jones who played two-face it's definitely an attention-getting device
28:22
he's using here to draw eyeballs to this car some people hated it some people loved it but that's the thing do what you want with your
28:28
cars have some fun with them it's just a wrap so it's nothing permanent that you can't undo
28:33
well at least he was smart enough to put black wheels on the black side and white wheels on the white side that's good well see that was the topic
28:40
of discussion in the comments because people are like oh you should put the blacks on the white side and the white wheels on the black side
28:45
yep but you know if you saw the movie yeah you see they're all white or all black it's a very interesting look you'd
28:51
definitely be turning some heads driving that car down the street absolutely right and finally we saw a c8
28:56
mule just parked in a driveway somewhere in detroit and another e-ray that was spotted testing
29:01
on the audubon those are two big sightings yeah they are again it represents that chevy's continuing to test cars we don't know
29:08
what these cars are we call them e-rays because there are certain clues that we point out but they could be a variety of testing
29:14
mules we did see that in that book we just referenced corvette stingray the mid-engine
29:19
revolution that they like to test stuff in plain sight we don't always know but the fact is that now we've got a car
29:25
running around in germany on the autobahn tells you a lot about are they doing testing over there is this vendor testing what's the status of
29:32
this car if you look at that car too it's like missing its rear fascia so you can see directly up into the tennico exhaust
29:39
system there wow there's just a lot of weird stuff about that car so again they're just testing it it's all good
29:45
news and it just bodes well that the future of corvette's coming and we're gonna have some new products here
