This US economy sure is tough and there are a ton of great bargains out there in both new and classic Corvettes. My problem is, I am also in the tough economy and I am unable to pull the trigger on any of these great deals. This is very frustrating for a person [...]

I came across a 2007 coupe the other day at a dealer’s lot, a base model (1LT) with the six speed manual and bright Velocity Yellow paint. The mileage was only 1,695 and the asking price was $35,495.00 (USD). Now, I have seen many a C-2 and C-3 with low miles and understand [...]

In reviewing a road test article for the 1970 Corvette, 454 LS-5 big block engine I was struck by the notes on the mpg’s of the car (7-8 mpg). Now with a fuel tank of usable capacity of say, 14 gallons that adds up to a ridiculously short cruising range–anywhere from 98-112 miles per [...]

The Corvette has endured years of production and at the same time has been panned over by just about every major automotive journal and magazine out there. Whether it be a road test, comparison test, endurance test or what have you, the automotive press has consistently come away with a less than favorable experience [...]
