It’s happened again. Motor Trend was provided with a Corvette Z06 to test and compare for the magazine’s annual Best Driver’s Car feature and once again the Corvette that Chevrolet provided for the test was not up to par. So much so that in the magazine article, Motor Trend ranked the car dead last with a DNF (did not finish). Now there is video showing MT’s test driver Randy Pobst driving the Corvette Z06 at

Start them young and kids will become Corvette fans for life! We saw this posted by our friend Rick Corvette Conti and asked if we could share it. We just love this photo of the customized Corvette Stingray with two matching power wheels at a car show. The Stingray is detailed with full length body stripes and there is a touch of red accent on the quarter panel vents. Those details are also shown on

1968 L88 Corvette Sells for $330,000 at Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas
On Saturday evening at Barrett-Jackson’s Las Vegas auction, this red/red 1968 L88 Corvette found a new home for the low, low price of $330,000. That’s somewhat surprising given the fact that other 1968 L88 Corvettes have sold for quite a bit more at recent sales. So what may have caused this prized performance sports car to stumble at BJLV? We think the biggest issue with this Corvette was the originality of the car. Collectors are

We don’t know if there is a much better sound than that of a C7 Z06 screaming around a track. But Hennessey Performance Engineering may have just come up with it. They’ve released a video that offers 30 seconds of a Z06 that has been treated to the Hennessey HPE800 upgrade, and if it doesn’t make you drool, you’re not a true Corvette enthusiast. The video shows the Arctic White Z06 whizzing around the HPE

Via CorvetteVideos.TV Want to see a Corvette Z06 running at top speed on the German Autobahn? Of course you do! The Performance Data Recorder shows us that this driver reached speeds of 320 Km/h which translates to about 198 mph! Unlike the USA, the German traffic sees a faster car coming up behind and moves to the right. The Corvette Z06 looks to be providing an effortless drive and seems quite tame in normal traffic.
