Last week we looked into how much (or how little) Corvette someone could get with their impending economic stimulus money. While there was at least one surprisingly decent option available under four grand, we concluded that these dollars would make much more cents (get it?) as down payments on an example of America’s Sports Car that you really want.

Every once in a while, I go through the stage of wanting another C4 Corvette. Having owned an ’86, an ’88, and an ’89, I realize firsthand these fourth generation ‘Vettes aren’t the most powerful ever built or the most reliable (remember the newfangled key on the ’86 that was supposed to prevent thefts but wound up leaving some owners stranded because the key wouldn’t work?).

A lot of the excitement at Barrett-Jackson auctions over the past 15-plus years has rolled across the block thanks to a strong partnership with General Motors.
The two powerhouses in their respective industries have teamed up to sell GM vehicles to raise more than $24 million for charity, including the most recent sale of the first mid-engine 2020 Corvette that sold in January for a whopping $3 million to enthusiast/collector/dealer/racing magnate Rick Hendrick.

Today is Throwback Thursday where we like to feature vintage photos of Corvettes. When we heard about the passing of racing icon Sterling Moss earlier this week, I immediately recalled this photo of Moss with Corvette Chief Engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov at the 1957 12 Hours of Sebring.

Our friend Byron Glover Jr is back with Part II of his 2020 Corvette Stingray Exhaust Compilation and if you’ve been with us for the last year or so, you would know that any video from Drive 615 is worthy of your valuable time.
In these days with family at home, I find myself waking up really early (well, earlier than them) and while enjoying a cup of coffee, I like to watch YouTube videos of really loud Corvettes.

The 2020 Corvette Stingray has been in customer’s hands for just over a month and already we’ve seen several dip into the 10s with a little help from the go-fast juice known as nitrous. Armed with a bottle of nitrous in the frunk, Cicio Performance took their Arctic White Corvette Stingray to the top of the charts with a recent outing to the drag strip.

Anyone here looking for some ideas on how to spend your coronavirus stimulus check? I’m actually in the market for a new radiator from my 1966 Corvette, but pics of radiators don’t do much for inspiration, so how about a new set of custom Forgiato wheels for your 2020 Corvette Stingray!

This beautiful custom 1968 Corvette Convertible was stolen in Irvine, CA on Saturday afternoon. With its distinctive paint, hood and front headlights, it should be pretty easy to identify!
The alert comes from Hagerty.com who tweeted a photo of the car on Wednesday afternoon:
