Here’s the high-quality documentary-style video we’ve been waiting for. Savage Geese takes a deep dive into the making of the C8 Corvette at the Bowling Green Assembly Plant. The video clocks in at over 40 minutes long and it’s one of the most detailed looks into the operations at the plant you can see without actually being there.

Just as we thought, Chevy officially announced the new 2024 E-Ray Corvette. Most of the specifications were as the rumors suggested. The new E-Ray is basically a Z06 with the stock base C8’s LT2 and an electric motor under the frunk.
The electric motor powers the front wheels and produces 160 hp and 125 lb-ft of torque. When combined with the LT2 and performance exhaust, the total output is 655 hp. That is 15 hp shy of the 2023 Corvette Z06, though the E-Ray sprints from 0-60 mph in 0.4 seconds quicker at just 2.5 seconds.

Do you have one of the early Z06’s? Are you getting one soon? If so, it is very important to break it in correctly, and the miles required are different if you are running it on the road vs. the track.
The main recommendation about the engine break-in is that the vehicle should not be pushed too hard for the first 500 miles for street driving and 1,500 miles before track use. The car should be driven at varying RPMs and speeds and not pushed to the redline regularly unless necessary. To make this easier for the driver, the digital tachometer will show a 6,600 RPM redline before hitting the 500-mile threshold. Even though the tachometer will show the redline, the engine will allow the owner to push past this.
The Z06’s eight-speed dual-clutch transmission also requires a break-in period, and as such, the onboard
