Since the start of the C7 generation, General Motors has thanked customers for buying a new Corvette with an exclusive “Thank You” gift that contained a letter and a frameable Corvette poster. GM offered a different gift for each new model as it was rolled out.
The last three years of the C3 body style don’t always get respect from the enthusiast world, but having owned an ’80 and an ’81, I can tell you from personal experience that while they may be low on horsepower, they’re still tons of fun to drive.
Plus who can deny the artistry of that beautiful Coke bottle styling, complemented by the front and rear spoilers molded into the bumpers?

We’ve told you for years about the generosity of the many enthusiasts who have donated their Corvettes and memorabilia to the National Corvette Museum.
In fact, owners have been so generous that the NCM decided last year to acquire an 8,000-square-foot facility next to existing Museum property to house the ever-growing collection.
Criswell Chevrolet’s Mike Furman delivers new Corvettes to his customers who come from all across the country to work with the nation’s top individual Corvette seller.

A member of the MidEngineCorvetteForum.com is offering even more proof that Corvette production has returned pretty much back to normal by sharing Saturdays shipping manifests of new 2020 Corvette Stingrays headed to dealerships. Each Jack Cooper Transporter can hold a maximum of 10 new C8 Corvettes and so this batch of 10 transports contains just under 100 cars which is nearly identical to one shift’s production totals.

Corvette Racing returns to the friendly and familiar high-speed confines of Daytona International Speedway next Saturday for the IMSA WeatherTech 240 and if that doesn’t make you happy, perhaps these adjustments to the race’s Balance of Performance will!
IMSA issued new Balance of Performance (BoP) tables ahead of next weekend’s race and compared to where to what we had in January, the changes just might provide the edge for the C8.R to get its first win.
Dusting for fingerprints? Good thing the boss doesn’t know about Valet Mode on the Performance Data Recorder.
