what vette magazines are you guys subscribed to, and are they worth it or are they just all c4 and c5 stuff with no c3 stuff. i want a mag that has c3 stuff but understand that there is no place like home(the forum).

IMO, the best is Cars & Parts Corvette which was a quarterly but will go monthly starting in Jan. The other two, Vette and Corvette Fever are ok but, again IMO, have more C4 & C5 coverage and are wimpy on the tech side.

What Marks69BB said is right on. I just renewed on Cars and Parts for the monthly set-up.

I usually have all 3 going and I guess it makes the winter reading more interesting!! It also makes the trip to the mail box much more fun!!!!!!!!!

Now where are those other renewal forms, the weathers gettin' cold?

We used to have our own exclusive "shark" magazine, called Shark Quarterly, published by Wayne Elwood, whom I believe posts on this forum. Because of lack of support from the C3 people, after about 3 years, the mag ceased publication. It was a FIRST CLASS publication. Chuck

Anyone have back copies of Corvette Fever from 90-93? My subscription didn't start until later 93 but I'm looking for some stuff from early 90 issues.

Many Corvette Fever back issues for sale on EBAY. Some might still be available from the publisher. Chuck

IMHO that Car and Parts Corvettes is the best Vette mag right now, but the all time best was Vette when D. Randy Riggs was editor.

Cars and Parts Corvette is a big #1.

I am letting my Corvette Fever and Vette expire now that C&P Corvette is going monthly.

I get Vette and Corvette Magazine. Vette is alright, Corvette Magazine has been out for 3 issues now, and I have gotten every one and it is great. Top notch publication.
