For the last several years we’ve enjoyed watching the progress of the Genovation GXE, an all electric-powered sports car built from a C7 Corvette Grand Sport. Genovation’s team has been chasing 220 mph and that target got a little closer after the car recently broke the top speed record for electric cars again.
In my collection of memorabilia, I still have some old car magazines from the 1970s, showing the wild paint jobs they used to put on C2s and early C3s.

After debuting the C5 with a limited run of 9,752 coupes in 1997 and introducing the Convertible in 1998, Chevrolet introduced a third body style for model year three.

While performance and exotic looks may draw customers to the new Corvette, it could very well be the Bose stereo system that owners will end up loving the most. With a total of 14 speakers in the Performance Series, Bose engineers were told explicitly not to truncate the sound after suggesting to the Corvette Team that it just created the most powerful and highest performance sound system for a sports car.

We did it, Corvette Nation! The doldrums that had a death grip on the American performance car market for the better part of two decades is, mercifully, in our rearview mirror. Welcome to the ’90s! The decade that saw the emergence of new “models” under the Corvette banner.
