CorvetteStoreOnline.com Fan Friday: Ray LaBrosse’s 2023 C8 Stingray Z51

For many Corvette owners, the open road is where the real magic happens. That’s certainly the case for Ray LaBrosse, who took his 2023 C8 Stingray Z51 on an unforgettable 10,700 km (6,650-mile) journey from Ottawa, Ontario, to Victoria, British Columbia.

Captured in front of Rundle Mountain in Banff National Park, Ray’s Red Mist Metallic Stingray looks right at home against the breathtaking backdrop. But this wasn’t just a scenic cruise—his 6.2L, 495 hp V8 delivered impressive fuel efficiency along the way, averaging 9.4L per 100km (25.1 mpg), with the best 80 km stretch hitting 6.7L per 100km. Not bad for a car built for speed and performance!

With its natural dipped interior and the perfect balance of power and efficiency, this C8 proved itself as both a grand tourer and a head-turner. Few cars can offer the kind of thrill and comfort needed for a cross-country road trip like this one.
