C8Tracker : For All Your C8 Corvette Data Nerd Needs

/ Home

Hi.

This site was designed to gather information about C8 Corvettes and make it available for Corvette enthusiasts. The information on this website came from downloading and analyzing the window stickers for new Corvettes. The site checks for new window stickers every day, but just as cars are not built every day, window stickers are also not created every day. The window stickers for each car typically becomes available within a few days of the car being produced in the factory. Keep checking back for the latest data to be added to the site.

This site is actively developed every day, so it is constantly getting more data and features.

The window sticker data is publicly available information that is collected and presented on our website. This website is not affiliated with General Motors, Chevrolet, or any of their dealers. We do not have any dealers or GM/Chevrolet employees feeding us information.


/ Daily Update Changes and New Site Coming Very Soon

Posted on 9/5/26, 3:09 PM

You've probably already noticed this, but I recently had to make a change to our daily update schedule.  For the last several years, it looked like GM released the new window stickers right around 11am EST.  So at 11:30am, the site would pull in the new stickers one time and that was it.  One update per day, nice and easy.  There were occasionally a few stragglers that were released later in the day, but it wasn't enough to bother trying to get as the next days update would grab them.

The window stickers now start getting released around 11am EST, but continue to trickle out throughout the day.  So I've changed the approach a bit.  The site still start looking for stickers at about 11:30am, then check again every few hours.  I slowed down the update process so it will now look more like the site is continuously updating instead of just doing a few updates here and there.  We decided on making this a slower, more continuous approach to reduce the load we put on the GM site that generates the window stickers.  This is beacuse I don't want C8Tracker to be the reason GM decides to lock that site down in the future.  Even though downloading all of the window stickers is perfectly legal, we try to go about it in a way that is ethical and won't cause any distruption to the GM site (and after almost 4 years, there has never been any indication that we are disrupting it.. the response times from the server stay consistent over the course of the updates).  

I've been completely rebuilding C8Tracker over the last few weeks.  I plan to release the new site sometime over this holiday weekend.  Some pages on the existing site probably will get removed.  The "Dealer Comparisons" page will probably go away.  Traffic to that page has always been low, and because of that I've never really put much effort into updating it... so there is just no point in keep it around.  I will eventually have all the different dashboard pages on the new site, but some will likely be missing when it first launches.  

There are some new features that will be available at launch, and some coming later.

  • Current update status on the home page.  It will tell you if an update is currently running, the results of the last update, etc.  It will also show the status of the system as a whole, such as if there is an issue with the GM site the generates the window stickers... so no more wondering why the site doens't seem to be updating (spoiler alert: C8Tracker is very reliable, the GM side of things, not so much).
  • Dealer Search.. you can now search for the top dealers based on model year and calendar year.  So the site can be used to generate data to see what the top dealers were for a given model year, calendar year, or a custom date range.
  • Email improvements.  A lot of people try to register and simply never receive the emails needed to complete registration.  I have switched email services to one with very high reputation, so hopefully this finally fixes that issue.
  • Dark mode.  If you know, you know.  Great change for users who prefer to have their device and websites in dark mode.

Not available at launch, but in the works:

  • The older C8 window stickers are no longer available from GM, but as luck would have it, I found I have most of them stored on a USB drive (original idea was to store all of them, but it seemed pointless as it looked like they would always be available from GM, so I didn't end up doing that).  I plan to start saving them all and make them available directly on C8Tracker and not just linking to the GM site for them.  The PDFs will probably only be available to registered users, I'm thinking I'll have PNG files of them with C8Tracker watermark available to unregistered users.  While I'd prefer to not even have registered user accounts or anything hidden being registration, C8Tracker is relentlessly targeted by data scrapers, so I have to take certain measures to protect some of the data from people and their bots who think its acceptible to just beat the hell out of C8Tracker all day to download all the data to republish on their own site without even giving credit to C8Tracker.  So, thank those guys for anything being hidden behind registration.
  • Rendered photos for all vehicles.  
  • Direct data access via API.  Want C8Tracker data for your own uses?  I will never make this easy for data scrapers, but if someone is willing to pay a small monthly fee, I will happily give them direct access to the data with an API.
  • Donations accepted.  Over the lifetime of C8Tracker, I have gotten a ton of people wanting to donate to the site to help cover the bills and keep it alive.  I have always turned down these offers.  But at this point, I have reconsidered it.  I really hate having to have the site covered in annoying ads to pay the sites bills, so my idea is something like "a donation of $10 will remove the ads from the site for 1 year."  So basically, I get some help covering the costs of running this thing, while the user who donated will get a better experience using the site.  I have other feature ideas for people who donate.. such as email alerts for when their cars window sticker becomes available.  Donations will never be required to see any data, so the site will stay useful to all users.
  • I have another big feature in the works that will make C8Tracker useful to an entirely new audience.  It's coming later this year.  I'm not ready to announce it yet.  It's only as useful as the data, so I need to spend a few months collecting data so its useful at launch.



/ Data Issues Resolved and Site Rebuild Underway

Posted on 8/8/26, 4:18 PM

We had a nasty bug come up that was making the data display in a pretty garbled way.  It's hard to describe what happened, but its resolved now.  Thanks to the people who alerted me via emails and DM's, its very much appreciated.  

On a more positive note, I am in the process of rebuilding the entire C8Tracker website.  Hopefully in the next month or so I will have enough of it done to switch over to the new site.  I have some ideas I am implementing that will make the site much more useful to people, and eventually expand beyond C8 data and include data for previous Corvette generations.  The idea is to expand well beyond simply being "that site that tracks the window stickers."



/ ZR1X Data Updates

Posted on 1/19/26, 11:34 PM (Edited on 1/19/26, 11:36 PM)

A few days ago, the first ZR1X window sticker was released.  I have created the ZR1X areas in the Dealers and Vehicles sections.  The ZR1X won't be added to the Daily Dashboard until the window stickers start getting released more regularly.  This is because calculating accurate daily numbers depends on a steady flow of new window stickers, so I'm holding off on adding it until that happens as I don't want that page to be full of nonsense data.  

The ZR1X dashboard page is probably the next update I will make for this data.  I will probably do the update to the Production dashboard at the same time.  I will try to get to it sometime this week.



/ Window Stickers Not Working (RESOLVED)

Posted on 9/6/25, 8:29 PM (Edited on 9/8/25, 5:14 PM)

UPDATE:  This appears to be resolved.

Today I noticed the window stickers aren't working.  On the GM site that generates them, all VINs get a result of "not found", even if the window sticker was available previously.  Issues with that site are not uncommon and are completely out of our control.  All we can do is wait it out.

And if anyone isn't aware, no 2026 Z06 or ZR1 window stickers have been released because of the recall for a risk of fire while refueling the car (the cars aren't being released to customers).  I'm not sure why no 2026 E-Ray window stickers have been made available.



/ My C8 Is 1 of 1... And So Is Yours (Probably)

Posted on 8/26/25, 12:03 AM

Occasionally a C8 will pop up for sale and the owner is showing a letter from the National Corvette Museum saying the car is "1 of 1."  Or there will be a car at a random car show with a sign on it saying it is "1 of 1."

I have always kind of wonders how rare that whole "1 of 1" thing really is.  Going by what I can search for with the C8Tracker Custom Search tool, plus some crazy database queries I have hacked together... the answer to that question always pointed to "1 of 1" not being rare at all, and that the vast majority of C8's fall into that category.  But I could never come up with a way to get that data quickly.  Well tonight, with the help of ChatGPT, I now have a way to query my database and get the answer quickly.

What is the answer?  How many C8's are that "1 of 1" spec?  

The answer: Nearly all of them.

What percentage of C8's fall into that "1 of 1" category?

  • 2020 Stingray - 98.2%
  • 2021 Stingray - 97.9%
  • 2022 Stingray - 96.1%
  • 2023 Stingray - 96.5%
  • 2023 Stingray 70th Anniv - 90.0%
  • 2023 Z06 - 99.5%
  • 2023 Z06 70th Anniv - 98.7%
  • 2024 Stingray - 95.1%
  • 2024 Z06 - 99.3%
  • 2024 E-Ray - 99.3%

I stopped at 2024 since there are still some 2025 window stickers I'm waiting on, so that data set isn't complete.  But as you can see, pretty much every C8 falls into this "1 of 1" category.  So much so that it's pretty meaningless.

It would appear that with a fairly large list of available options, there are so many possible combinations that can be ordered, so the result is pretty much every car is a unique spec.  Doe it matter?  Will a buyer care? Probably not.  

But, if you find it to be a fun piece of trivia about your car, keep on having your fun as that is what these cars are all about.  I always just found this to be an interesting data point and was curious where these percentages would land.

Oh and if anyone wants to buy a "C8Tracker Certified 1 of 1" piece of merch or something, I'd be happy to sell them to the 170,000 or so owners of "1 of 1" C8's ;)



/ 2026 Stringray Data Available

Posted on 8/23/25, 4:28 PM

Looks like the window stickers for the 2026 Stingrays finally starting coming out today, so we have data for those cars.  Nothing was released for the widebody cars, I'm assuming that is related to the stop sale due to a fire risk that was released for some of those cars a few days ago.  So we will have to continue being patient for any data related to them.



/ The MY2026 Data Waiting Game

Posted on 8/21/25, 1:12 PM

The window stickers for the new model year 2026 cars still aren't available.  The site is checking for them daily, but as of right now, none have been released.  Until the window stickers are available, we won't be able to provide data for the 2026 cars.  I expected the window stickers would be available this week, but so far it hasn't happened.  We just have to be patient.
