Collector's Edition?
OK, so I go to the home page expecting to see my normal forum options. I don't, so that is OK, change is good. I would think, however, that a Corvette Forum, dedicated to Corvette enthusiasts, would at least get their model terminology correct. the 1996 COLLECTOR, no apostrophe s, EDITION might need a teensy update. Also, according to the description, the "special edition was produced in low numbers". Really? It was the most common option in 1996, accounting for 5,412 of 21,536 vehicles produced, or 25% of the production run. Oh, and really, to find the actual forum part I have to go digging to forums.corvetteforum.com? Well, this will be locked. I just question the direction of this valuable resource.

I say it again, There is nothing Collectible about the 1996 Collector Edition

I believe the term "Collectors edition" is referring to the whole group, Not just one car. 5,412 or 25% is a low production number to me. Their was 23,330 of my car made...
Here are some better statistics for you. 135,309 members on CorvetteForum.com, Up to 5,412 of them are collector edition owners.
Out of the 135,309 members and 5412 potential CE owners, Only one was lame enough to wine about something so stupid

Just a momentary rant.
