Default Which Magazine

I wasn't too sure where to ask this question, so I thought I'd try fellow C5 owners first.

I want to take out a subscription to a dedicated Corvette Magazine of which (understandably) there are none in the UK. I have been looking at Corvette Fever or Vette but can't decide which. Can anyone describe the differences between the two or suggest another magazine. Before anyone says "take both", I only want one subscription.

I am a C5 owner and am interested in all things Corvette including racing, events, performance parts, accessories, reviews and hearing about other people's cars and experiences. I'm not too interested in restoration advice.

Thanks guys - your help is much appreciated.

Hi Richard

I subscribe to Corvette Magazine. Its a good read and covers all the Vettes, not just the C5.

They only push out 8 mags per year rather than 12 though.

From the Editorial page overseas rates are $31 per year. PM me if you'd like their address

Between Corvette Fever and Vette, I'd go with Vette. It seems to have a good balance of interest for the NCRS crowd, the high-mileage/daily-driver group, the "modify 'em" crowd, and people of all income levels.

I agree its a combination nice quality table book and an all around well written mag with nice articles.

I'd say pick a couple up and see for your self. Your first impression will tell you which you would prefer.

I also subscribe to Corvette Magazine, although I have been known to pickup copies of the other magizines if there is an article(s) I like. I also get Road & Track, Car and Driver, Autoweek and Motor Trend, guess I like to read about cars

Corvette Magazine is a gorgeous publication. The tech tips are very thorough, they make a decent effort to cover all generations and they have incredible tech/historical articles in each issue.

Unfortunately, they don't do an issue for each month..

Vette and Corvette Fever are pretty good...


Personally, I just get them all each month...


But mostly that's because I can't find Triumph World over here anymore.

As several others have said, Corvette Magazine is an excellent one - good articles, covers lots of different stories, etc. I currently have it and Corvette Fever - between those two, Corvette Magazine is best IMO. Used to subscribed to Vette also - dorpped it since it and Corvette Fever seem to be very close.
