As a corvette owner, what does that mean to you when you see it? Non-owners wouldn't recognize it. When I see it, I instantly translate it to Corvette....which in turn translates into happiness.



What does it mean to you?

What does it mean to you?
The beginning of the serial number only works for newer Corvettes. Personally, I prefer - 1G1YZ myself. So what does 194377S mean to you?

Yes we do appreciate ZR-1's also. And while I dig all generations, the earlier ones are beyond most average budgets to make their VIN's as easy to recognize, not to mention lesser numbers in circulation.
