Default Best Corvette magazine

Trying to get some opinions on the best Vette only magazine. I get Hemmings Muscle Machines,but they rarely have Vettes in it. Any thoughts?...

I get Hemmings Muscle Machines too, Car Craft, and Corvette Enthusiast. I checked out Vette, Corvette Fever and CE ultimately deciding on CE.

This forum is probably your greatest resource for any and all C3 info though.

Hope this helps.

Corvette Enthusiast. Vette and Corvette Fever don't do it for me anymore. Too much C5/C6 coverage.

I am going to have to go with Corvette Enthusiast also. My second magazine to look at is Corvette Magazine but, it is usually ad heavy and slanted more toward later model vettes. Also do not forget the Corvette Forum as the first place to go.

it does seem that they are both going for the newer cars, and also leaning alot towards the mods as the feature cars, once in a while, however, they do have some good tech issues on the older ones.

Barnes and Noble. Stop by once a month (a little time to relax) and check them all out. If there is something you like and it's not an "on line" article then buy that issue.

I also find Corvette Enthusiast to be the best of what's out there right now.

It's pricey, but Corvette Enthusiast. I'm partial though, because I was their "Corvette Enthusiast" in one of their issue when I had my '78 Pace Car. Their photography is the best with good tech articles.

Corvette Enthusiast is #1 for me too. I also subscribe to Vette & Corvette Fever & Popular Hot Rodding. When you've got contributing writers like Jim Moore a.k.a. 427 Hot Rod from the c-3 forum taking it to new levels you can't go wrong. Most people lean to going paperless, but I travel a lot and I love to carry reading material while I'm on the road.

each one had its day as best and now CE seems best for older cars, but the money is with the newer vette crowd...way of business, way of life. bottom line whatever you enjoy is the best.

Corvette Enthusiast is excellent. It actually has writers that know their a$$ from their elbows as far as classic Corvettes go .

I see that you viewed it on line, good for you. Yes it is available in Canada, I get it at a variety store that carries alot of car magazines. You are going to have to find it at one that does the same, or ask if they can put it on their order list for you.

Corvette Enthusiast is doing a great job of covering *old stuff* as well as new. After spending last week riding cross country with the editor in my '67 in the rain, hail, heat etc etc....there is no doubt he eats lives and breathes these things. He's constantly trying to keep his finger on the pulse of what the average Vette owner wants to read about. He does that by playing with them and hanging with folks who do the same.
