Right now, we must wonder if Chevy Corvette’s C8 fame has risen so much that normal people cannot even have some breathing comment space because of all the unrelated spam. Or maybe it’s the aftermarket outlet’s fault for the unwanted attention…
Everyone knows that General Motors probably took the best decision of the past decade when its head honchos allowed the Corvette team to reinvent “America’s sports car” into something that will properly rival mid-engine Euro supercars at (sometimes) a fraction of the cost. Including cool aftermarket outlet spammers, it seems.

Just recently, the Los Angeles, California-based, forged wheel experts over at Forgiato Designs have uncovered yet another interesting, niche-focused build from 713 Motoring. This looks exactly like something taken out of a sports car monster dream because we are dealing with an all-black (save for the little detail of contrasting yellow brake calipers) C8 Chevy Corvette that even has the matching glasshouse tint.

And it also rides on concave Forgiato Designs ECL-series aftermarket wheels with the proper fit and finish… only that it also sparked some unwanted attention, it seems. All is fine and dandy (read: lots of fire/hot emojis) on the builder’s social media page, but the 713 Motoring post was also shared by the official Forgiato account. And once there, all spam hell broke loose, wreaking havoc among comments – and even prompting one of the real people to signal they are now a very cool minority…

That’s definitely odd and we have to notice this isn’t the first 713 Motoring project that gets such unwanted attention. Oh well, these are the quirky ways of the social media aftermarket realm, and we promise to investigate a little further. After all, there are a bunch of other Forgiato-713 Motoring creations just waiting to be shared, such as a cool black-and-orange Jeep “HellHawk” or a 28-inch-equipped Caddy Escalade that dwarfs those puny brake rotors with its equally murdered-out atmosphere.
