CPR is ordering a C8!

[joe@cpr.com]

So we have had an allocation deposit for awhile now with Gateway Chevy here in AZ. With the official release of the C8 we wanted to make a video going through the Chevy site discussing our thoughts and feelings on the options and how we will be spec'ing ours out once ordering can be made. For those in this section of corvette forum not familiar with us we are an automotive performance shop based in Tempe, AZ that specializes in corvettes C5+. We had many first with the C7 platform as we got one extremely early on when they came out. 

 

Our goal with this platform is to develop some great products for those that wish to modify the car. Even with tuning not being available right away and potentially never we feel we have some great ideas for area's that still can be tweaked and not have to tune it. First step will be an exhaust system for those that wish to shave some weight as I'm sure the factory suitcase muffler will be heavy, we have quite an extensive fabrication ability here and currently produce many products that get shipped all over, along with very complicated custom one off work in house. Some other items will be purely a cosmetic enhancement in the engine bay. 

 

As far as our performance goals before tuning is available. We do plan on putting a drag pack on the car and seeing what it is capable in the 1/4 and 1/2 mile stock and on a nice tire setup. Than do our exhaust system to shave some weight and finally until tuning is available do a nitrous system with race gas to see how far we can take it. We are willing to find the limits early on this transmission and how it all works because if tuning becomes available we want to have without a doubt the strongest understanding of this new platform in regards to making power and holding it. Once tuning seems like it will become available, a Twin turbo system will be at the top of our priority list! 

 

In the meantime I hope you enjoy this fun video of us going through options on the chevy site, please like and subscribe our video and if you're new to our channel checkout the other videos we have put up!
