One I've had for years is Corvette Fever. However, it has ranged from excellent to fair, up and down, over that time. Right now they are in a phase I call retrorodding older Corvettes, as opposed to restoration and preservation of the older cars. Not my cup of tea.

Car and Driver or Motor Trend.

It seems like every month they feature a comparo between Brand X "supercar" and the C6 vette. This latest edition was the new 600 HP Viper vs Z06.

The vette is still on top.

I get all of the above listed mags, but the one I like best is Corvette Enthusiat, over the years it has always been one of the best all around publications featuring articles on C1 thru C6s in almost every issue.

I've only had my Z16 for a year so I'm still learning, but I enjoy reading CORVETTE FEVER and CORVETTE ENTHUSIAST. I also read or subscribe to several other publications. Many of them have articles that can apply to any type of car.
The last time this question was asked, it became apparent that some members don't like the ads in the magazines (someone has to pay for all of those high glossy photos and tech articles). That's one of the reasons I read magazines...to see what's new from the vendors.
It was also commented that most Corvette magazines tend to be geared towards people who lack knowledge of Corvettes and are written as if the readers have only a grade school education.
We can't all be experts...

I just dropped Vette magazine after several years, as it is almost unreadable now. Fever is ok but one issue is pretty much like the one before. None of them are really anything to write home about but I do like keeping up with trends and the tech articles are interesting but too many advertisements and way too many restorods

I get Vette magazine, good price and I think its ok, despite what others think. There is some neat stuff in there, nothing I haven't seen before though as far as performance suggestions.
