If we asked you to name a track-worthy sport sedan, chances are good you’d pick the BMW M5, the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG or possibly even the Cadillac CTS-V. Further down the list, we suppose even a Volvo S60 or Ford Taurus SHO could make the cut-off, but one car we’d never expect to see...

After falling off the radar for some three decades, the reveal of the ‘lost’ 1960 Corvette raced by Briggs Cunningham at Le Mans made big news prior to this year’s Corvettes at Carlisle show. One of three campaigned by the team in 1960, it was the only one unaccounted for until...

In 1968, Chevrolet replaced the shortest-lived Corvette (the C2, produced for model years 1963-1967) with what would turn out to be the longest-lived variant, the C3. Still iconic in its shape, the C3 Corvette remained in production from model years 1968 through 1982. In performance terms, those...

In 2002, a 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible was stolen from its owner in Australia. Since we’re pretty sure that kind of thing happens on a somewhat regular basis, even in a law-abiding country like Australia, it would be utterly unremarkable if not for the rest of the story. Recently...

Even though the first Corvettes started with the Blue Flame in-line six-cylinder engine as the standard powerplant, the V-8, offered since 1955, has become the car's iconic means of motivation. Today, as part of the car's ongoing 60th anniversary celebrations, GM has released a short history of the...

Corvette fans across the country are familiar with the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky, where America's greatest sports car has long been built.

By 1963, the Chevrolet Corvette had established itself as a legitimate sports car, racking up racing success at the club, national and international levels. As the Corvette closed out its first decade, Chevrolet began production of a new C2 version for 1963. Dubbed the Corvette Sting Ray, it...

Chevrolet’s C1 Corvette made its public debut at the 1953 GM Motorama, hosted at New York’s Waldorf-Astoria hotel. Displayed as a show car, production of the Corvette began six months later, in July of 1953. While early Corvettes were influenced by the designs of European sports cars...

Though it’s hard to imagine today, the Chevrolet Corvette didn’t begin life as a high-performance sports car. Instead, early models went intended to be “sporty” convertibles, fitted with the “Blue Flame” in-line six-cylinder engine and a live rear axle. A V-8...

Corvettes at Carlisle wouldn’t be complete without the annual tire-shredding burnout contest smoke-athon. This year’s event was no exception to the rule, and the top honors went to John Marshall and his “mildly modified” 1972 Corvette. By “mildly modified,” we...

Last week we brought you the incredible story of a historically significant racing Corvette, believed lost to history but then found in storage in St. Petersburg, Florida. As one of three Corvettes campaigned by Briggs Cunningham at the 1960 24 Hours of Le Mans, the car has a potential value in...

Back in 1960 Briggs Cunningham, a manufacturer and avid racer of cars and yachts, as well as a co-founder of the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA), competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans with a trio of racing Corvettes built by him and his team. No one knew then what his efforts would mean to the...

The countdown to the next-generation (C7) Corvette has officially begun, as tours of the Bowling Green Assembly Plant will be temporarily suspended beginning on September 14 to allow for plant retooling. That’s the necessary first step towards building the 2014 Corvette, but Chevrolet wants...

The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance wasn't the only thing going on in the automotive world this past weekend. In fact, an event some might consider its rival--especially if you're more into American muscle and style--was held in Detroit: the Woodward Dream Cruise. This video, Chevrolet's recap of...

A 1958 Chevrolet Corvette finished in Regal Turquoise will be auctioned off for charity, with all proceeds going to aid Habitat for Humanity Detroit, a nonprofit organization aimed at providing housing for low-income families in the Detroit area. The car is owned by none other than GM chairman and...

If you’ve wondered why Arnold Schwarzenegger hasn’t had much face time on the big screen of late, the answer is simple: from 2003 until January of 2011, the bodybuilder-turned-action-film-star was busy with another job, namely running the state of California. Now that his political...

UPDATE: The 2014 Chevrolet SS has been revealed. Click here for all the details.

Chevy promised its 2012 COPO Camaro would slip under nine seconds for the quarter mile, and now the car has delivered.

When a California man passed away recently, he left behind a barn full of stuff. Amongst the stuff was a 1963 split-window Corvette (pictured below) in what appears to be fairly good, if neglected, condition. There is, of course, the usual three-decades coating of dust, and what looks like a fair...
