It’s becoming crystal clear that the C7 Corvette might not only be one of GM’s most successful launches in decades, but also that it might be one of the American automobile industry’s most successful as well.

I hadn’t thought much about past cars that have been pitted against the Corvette over the years until I stumbled on a recent Driving.ca report titled “Seven Generations of the Corvette Against the World.”

Chevy is counting on the C7 to change the perception of the Corvette in Southern California. Can the C7 achieve that goal?

Who knew that a company had teamed up with SuperVettes to develop some really cool special-edition Stingray cases for the iPhone 5?

Evidently, the team at Chevy has no plans on slowing the momentum it’s been gaining with the C7. Then again, why should they? Less than a couple of weeks after debuting that hot new convertible Z06 everyone has been raving over, the carmaker announces that it will also be offering two more limited design packages.

I really need to dial up one of these professional driving schools to see if they’d be up for whipping me around a track in a C7 with a more experienced driver at the helm. As much as I love being behind the wheel myself, I certainly realize there are a lot of people more qualified to give me a better feel of what the new Corvette is really capable of.

Well, you can add the first retail model of the 2015 Corvette Z06 to the coveted car collection of motorsports king, Rick Hendrick. The chairman of the Hendrick Automotive Group paid $1 million for the car at the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Palm Beach, Florida this past weekend. Not that it really should come as a big surprise: Mr. Hendrick, an avid Corvette enthusiast, also paid $1 million for the first production model of the 2014 Stingray last year at a Barrett-Jackson auction.
