Featured Specs & Performance

We compare every Corvette we could ever find from a specs and performance perspective. The ultimate guide.

C1 Specifications & Performance (By Year)

In the humble beginning was the C1 Corvette. To save money GM used off-the-shelf mechanical components and used the chassis and suspension from existing passenger cars. The car had a uniquely masculine, muscular, almost predatory look. In the days that followed the Motorama, the Chevrolet Corvette– the first true American sports car – was born.

C2 Specifications & Performance (By Year)
