Since he was a boy, Scott has had a love affair with cars - and sports cars in particular. His fascination with speed and fast cars was first fueled by his grandfather, who would frequently take him to car shows or to the local track. In college, Scott studied automotive technologies, and would spend his formative years working for a Chevy dealership. He has authored several books and is the founder of CorvSport.

As many of our readers are probably already aware, the Chevy Corvette turns 70 this year. First introduced on June 30, 1953 in Detroit, Michigan, the Corvette has become one of the most recognizable and collectible sports cars of all time. To celebrate its 70th anniversary, a diverse number of...
As has been the case since they introduced the mid-engine Stingray in 2020, Chevrolet has been hard at work advancing the eighth-generation Corvette into ever-faster, ever-more-exclusive iterations of “America’s Sports Car.” This week, one of the photographers at Corvetteblogger.com happened to be in the right place at the right time...
The Corvette is turning 70 this year. As such, automotive clubs – many of them Corvette Clubs – across the country are planning celebratory events to commemorate the momentous occassion. While the festivities really start to ramp up as the summer arrives in a few weeks, a major celebration occurred...
If you know anything about Corvette collectors, or even car collectors in general, then you know that Rick Hendrick is one of the biggest names in the game.

Each year, the Nationaal Corvette Museum kicks off the start of their summer season and celebrates the arrival of the latest MY Corvette offerings from Chevrolet by hosting the Michelin NCM Bash! This three day even is normally held on the last Thursday, Friday and Saturday of April each year...
I was recently reading an article published in the National Corvette Museum’s quarterly “America’s Sports Car: A Publication of the National Corvette Museum” magazine acknowledging that the C4 Corvette will turn 40 this year! It led me to start thinking about this sometimes overlooked entrant into the Corvette family and...
The introduction of unique, limited edition Corvettes is nothing new for Chevrolet. The company has been creating custom design packages for their flagship brand nearly as long as they’ve been building Corvettes. When Chevrolet introduced its seventh-generation Stingray in January 2013, the Corvette community knew it’d only be a matter...
If you are any kind of a Corvette enthusiast, then you’ve doubtless heard the name Ken Lingenfelter, and have at least a passing familiarity with Lingenfelter Performance Engineering. Okay, I hope its more than a passing familiarity as Lingenfelter Performance Engineering has been building some of the most radical, most incredible Corvettes (and...
For many of us, purchasing/owning a Corvette is a dream that can take a lifetime to fulfill. For some, the dream comes true early in life while for others, it might be something that happens in the twilight years. But regardless of when that dream does become a reality, the...
2023 C8 Chevrolet Corvette Z06: Overview, VIN, Options, Performance & More When Chevrolet unveiled the mid-engine Corvette in 2020, the world took notice. The Corvette, which had already become synonymous with serious performance in the American automobile marketplace, had jumped to the next level overnight. For the first time in...
The Corvette Has Led the Indy 500 More than Any Other Car In the Race’s 107-Year History When it comes to racing, there are few events more iconic than the Indianapolis 500. On May 28, 2023, the “Greatest Spectacle In Racing” will celebrate its 107th anniversary. To commemorate this momentous...
The 2022 Mid-Engine Corvette certainly provided consumers with plenty to be excited about. To commemorate the C8.R race car's inaugural season, Chevrolet offered its consumers a special, limited-edition appearance package on the 2022 Corvette that was inspired by the IMSA GTLM championship-winning race cars. Only 1000 examples were built, and the package added $6595 to the car's sell price.
While the redesign gave the Corvette a fresh look for the new model year, Chevrolet also recognized the importance of commemorating the car's quarter-century of production. For the first time in the brand's history, two special-edition Corvettes were introduced for the 1978 model year: the Silver Anniversary Edition and the Indy Pace Car coupes. On March 15, 1977, the 500,000th Corvette rolled off the assembly line at Chevrolet's St. Louis manufacturing plant.
Designed for the 2024 racing season to compete in the GT3 category, Corvette Z06 GT3.R will soon join a family of long-standing victors on the track. This track-only race car will be the first that Chevrolet offers to both pro and amateur teams. Although based on the design of the street-friendly Corvette Z06 and its 5.5L engine, the GT3.R won’t be street legal. The track-only race car will be modified with racing-specific equipment and will comply with FIA regulations.
Although there was a lot of uncertainty about the Corvette’s long-term viability in its early days, the public’s perception of the brand had changed radically by the late 1970s. The Corvette, which was now commonly referred to as “America’s Sports Car,” had gained traction with consumers across North America. It...
On January 17, 2023, almost exactly seventy years (to the day) after Harley Earl first introduced his original 1953 Corvette coupe in the lobby of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, Chevrolet unveiled their latest iteration of the Corvette – the first-ever electrified Corvette E-Ray! What is all the more impressive is...
It was only fitting that the Corvette design team honor the outgoing C5 by saluting its finest racing accomplishments with a special Le Mans Commemorative Edition package for all 2004 Corvette models. The Coupe and Convertible packages included special Le Mans Blue metallic paint, unique badging noting the Le Mans victories, polished wheels, and a special shale-colored interior featuring embroidered Le Mans emblems on the headrests.
With all the hype surrounding the release of the new mid-engine Corvette Z06 coupe, it’s easy to forget that the Corvette Racing program homologates these cars for their racing programs. Today, we’re pleased to share a video of the new Corvette Z06 GT3.R race car as its put thru its...
The NCM’s “Driven By Design” Showcases Corvette’s Rich Design Heritage Earlier this year, the National Corvette Museum (NCM) introduced its latest exhibit, “Driven by Design,” a 6,500-square-foot exhibit focused on the history of the Corvette’s design process. It showcases some of the many designers and engineers responsible for the development...
The 1992 Stingray III / California Stingray Concept was developed by John Schinella (and team) at GM's Advance Concept Center in Los Angeles. The 1992 concept is a world away from the C4. But the dominant motifs of a smooth rounded Corvette did come to production on the C5. This prototype looks distinctly upmarket, the rear shares a shocking similarity to the Jaguar XK8, without a flat surface in sight.
Chevrolet announced that the Corvette moniker, which for decades has been synonymous solely with the company’s flagship sports car, is being transformed into its own sub-brand of automobiles. While this news may catch many Corvette devotees by surprise (and may upset some of us), there are good reasons for this...

The Vetter Slash, a Corvette-Based Concept Car Although every generation of Corvette has its own, dedicated group of devout enthusiasts/owners, there is little argument amongst the Corvette community that the sixth-generation model remains one of the most iconic-looking examples of the Corvette in the modern era. Its genesis was actually...

Thousands of people flock to Bowling Green, Kentucky each year to visit the National Corvette Museum and, while there, make the...
In 2020, I was approached by CarTech Books to write a book on the history of the Corvette thru the lens of the men and women who designed each generation of this amazing sports car. The book, which took nearly a year to write and another year to assemble, was...
