The idea of an all-electric Corvette is either either a wonderful marriage of American history and electric performance or complete sacrilege. Love it or hate it, it's now a reality. A company called Genovation rolled out the creation, the Genovation Extreme Electric (GXE), at the 2018 Consumer...

With the 2014 Corvette, buying a stick-shift nets one mpg in all categories.

Hagerty published the following in April of 2003. So far I haven’t found an update, but this is still interesting. The study was conducted from 1999 to 2002. Hagerty Protection Network named the following models to its Top 10 Stolen Collector Vehicles list for 2003: 1. Chevrolet Corvette...

Last week, Karl-Friedrich Stracke, GM's vice president of global vehicle engineering, set to rest rumors of a mid-engine next-generation Chevrolet Corvette. That got a lot of attention among Corvette fans. But a footnote to the story was that Stracke said not only that a hybrid Corvette was...

Sometimes Balance Is An Art

The 2010 Chevrolet Corvette goes like stink. Its 430-horsepower, 6.2-liter V8 is the epitome of all-American performance. And that's just the base car. The supercar contender ZR1 model heads straight into the stratosphere. The Vette is an icon, and GM messes with it at its peril. So a throwaway...
