IMHO, neither.
I've decided to allow my subs to both of them to run out.
If you want magazines that are written for adults, check out Corvette Enthusiast and Corvette Magazine. I consider both to be far better than Vette or Corvette Fever.
Be well,

Corvette Magazine is very well put together and written. I would say the editorial slant is perhaps more "general interest" than the other Vette mags out there. I think non-Vette owners would still enjoy reading it. I don't know you can say that about the others.
Just one example: a recent issue had a fascinating article on the "original" Corvettes. Not the '53's, but the ships after which the car was named. Pretty cool, but perhaps not for everybody.
Try to get a copy of each and read through them. You'll pretty quickly decide which best fits your interests.

I have grown weary of Vette and Corvette Fever. They are both Primedia pubs...
My argument is that the mags use the same basic formula, and in both cases, written like bad ad copy.
The Formula:
1) Guy buys car.
2) Guy gets married.
3) Guy's wife makes him sell car cause it's too expensive.
4) Guy begrudingly sells car.
5) Guy works *** off, raises family.
6) Guy's wife begrudingly lets him buy another Corvette.
7) Guy gets milquetoast 1979 Vette, L48, automatic, in red with white. Loves car. Perfect in every respect.
8) Wife admits to loving Corvette...
See? It's the same crappy, sappy junk every month; pandering to some lowest common denominator that is really quite insulting.
Corvette Enthusiast is better, but only a little bit so. I see them drifting into this habit on occasion. Mostly, because the editorial staff and contributors are all from the same source - Vette or Corvette Fever! Bad habits are hard to break!
Corvette Magazine takes a more generalized view, yes, but also more intellectual. It should be noted that CM is a Ross Publication. RP also produces Excellence (Porsche) and Forza (Ferrari).
As for the mags I get? Car & Driver, Road & Track, Grassroots Motorsports, Sport Compact Car, Corvette Magazine, Autoweek, Sports Car Market and Classic and Collectable Automobiles.
