Fastest Pikes Peak Corvette

August 14, 2020 Off By Mike Vietro

Have you ever wanted to own a Corvette Race Car?

You can now buy the fastest Corvette to ever Climb Pikes Peak!

Building a race car is fun and all, but wouldn’t it be better just to buy a proven hill climb machine built by some of the best in the business, and shaken down by a professional driver? If you agree, you are in luck. The fastest Chevrolet Corvette ever to drive the infamous Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is up for auction on Bring A Trailer.

Starting out life as a 2017 Corvette Z06 that was totaled with just 9 miles on the odometer. Pro racing driver Robb Holland purchased it from a salvage auction and got right to work building it to compete in the TA1 class at the Pikes Peak hill climb later that same year. Carbon-fiber bits like the splitter, rear hatch, custom door skins, and custom carbon mounts for the dual-element APR Performance wing, helping keep the weight low and the aerodynamic downforce high, were then added. It also features a Stage 3 E85 kit from Katech, a custom exhaust and a custom suspension setup.

New C8 Orders may take 18 months to deliver

According to a Chevrolet dealership employee that goes by the Chevy Dude, you will need to wait for 12 to 18 months if you order for a 2021 Corvette C8 today. That’s because of the minimal production weeks left this manufacturing year. This is assuming no more production delays and with the normal three-week plant shutdown for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years.

C8 recalled so you don’t get stuck in ‘frunk’

The 2020 C8 Corvette has just been recalled because its front trunk might not open if 10 minutes pass after you’ve turned it off. This is because the C8 enters a “sleep” mode 10 minutes after it’s been off and the electronic front trunk release may not work as a result.

GM plans on fixing the problem via a wireless, over-the-air software update that will “(lower) the voltage required to wake the vehicle from the low power “sleep” mode.” Owners who opted out of over the air updates will be able to take their cars to a dealership to have the fix applied.

What Mike likes about this C8:

“This is my very first black mid-engine salute to Zora. Black on black has always been a sinister look in any Corvette dating back to the 1967 427/435 beast with the red stinger hood. Black on black has always commanded the most money of any 1967 Corvette ever built. True black was rare indeed in the 60s. However, the population has grown exponentially since then and black still represents a rare commodity in the world of sports cars. I’m excited to finally see the first 2020 mid-engine Corvette in black on black. It is currently inbound on an enclosed transporter heading to Anaheim, California. Should anybody be interested while it’s traveling across the United States from the East Coast we can actually deliver it to your door before it leaves your home town state. Otherwise you’re welcome to visit us and take a test drive in the greatest Corvette to ever leave St. Louis Missouri or Bowling Green Kentucky.

Born and built in the USA!!! Not many products can say that today!!!”
