I dont want to waste my money buying all the Corvette Magazines I can find so could all you experts give me the best Magazines to buy that give lots of info on the C5 Corvettes?

I plan on buying a 2002 Z06 as soon as someone buys my 1981 Delorean.

I subscribe to several, but Corvette Fever seem to me to give the best info and tech articles. Keep in mind that they are all trying to appeal to and please everyone, but right now, the C5 is probably the best represented by most.

I have subscribed to Vette, Corvette Fever, and Corvette Magazine for many years. Since I have been on the forum they seem to be old news. I cancelled Corvette Magazine. For the most part I enjoy the forum more than any of the Corvette magazines.

I used to have 'Vette and Corvette Fever subscriptions
years ago just because the internet and sites like this
were unavailable.

With the internet incarnation,I get all the latest info
I need,even though I like all 'Vettes I can have the
choice of just sticking with C5 material,instead of
getting a magazine and being at the mercy of articles
with info I have no need for.

Their still fun to read though

Used to be excited when Corvette Fever and Corvette Enthusiast would come in the mail. After awhile i realized the best C5 articles, pictures, and tech info come from right here.

Some of us enjoy the forum more than they should, however. My wife used to yank Corvette magazines from my hands and smack me on the head with them to get me to do something. I'm afraid of what she'll do with my laptop.

Corvette Fever is the only Corvette magazine I still subscribe to. To me, it does a better job of covering all years of Corvettes.

At one time, I subscribed to Corvette Fever, Vette and Corvette Magazine. Now I'm down to only Corvette Magazine. IMO, it's the best one out there.

This gets discussed a lot. I'm still learning about my car after over a year of ownership, so I buy/subscribe to as many different Corvette magazines as I find. Yeah, some of it is repetitious and remedial, so?
I also enjoy reading the magazine ads to see what new is coming out. Many don't like the ads in magazines...go figure...what a crazy world...
