Corvette magazines, publications
I have just about finished reading "All Corvettes are Red." It's an amazing story about the transition from C4 to C5.
I'm just wondering if there are any Corvette magazines worth my getting a subscription to. My interest is not in radical changes made by owners, but more general information, tips, etc., maybe owners' reflections, experiences. And, would like to know if there are any other readings that might might be interesting. I must say the book I am finishing really makes me appreciate my 2001 C5 that much more!

I have subscribed to a number of Corvette related magazines over the years including Vette, Corvette Fever and Corvette Magazine (some have ceased publication, some still active).
IMO, the best one out there right now is Corvette Magazine. Quality articles, photography and helpful tech tips.

I have found this forum to be the best resource in doing a near complete restoration on my C5 with mild modifications. It is not the same sort of entertainment people get from reading books but there is plenty of technical content. Tech books are not exactly casual reading. You have the advantage of interacting with members here. It seems like the computer age has killed the magazine.
Just about anything that can be done to a C5 has been done here on the forum.

I have had a subscription to several "vette" magazines. I stopped them all because there was very little content I was interested in. Keep in mind the magazine has to deal with over 50 years worth of Corvettes. If you are interested in 'all' corvettes then the publications are great. If you are looking for content on the C5...you will get very little.
