📰 News we're reading

• Chevy Corvette C8's Final Missing Link May Be Coming Next Year (hotcars.com) — GM’s Tonawanda engine plant is highlighted as a key investment site for a new sixth‑generation V8 that could debut around 2027, potentially powering a rumored Corvette C8 Grand Sport. While the piece focuses on national Corvette rumors, it ties Tonawanda’s upgraded plant to GM’s push for stronger, cleaner V8s that may keep local engine-building jobs central to future performance models.
