What song best represents a Corvette to you?
So, I just wrapped up my first two weeks in a Corvette. I'm now laughing that I ever questioned having this car as a daily driver, as these have been the best commutes of my life!!
When I pulled away from the dealership two weeks ago in my own new Vette, I had the top off and Aerosmith's Sweet Emotion started playing
...which just seemed like the appropriate song for that car and that moment. I just cranked up the tunes and hit the gas!!
That got me wondering - what song would others say best represents their time in a Corvette??

Oh well.... George Jones "Corvette Song" comes to mind! Of course as the song goes on, you find out it's not really the "Vette" that's on the ol' fellows mind! But some of the phrasing is synonymous with what a lot of people think, love and cherish about their "Vettes"... even if they don't really encompass all the descriptions and maybe some do!! Like "She was Hotter than a two dollar pistol....She was the fastest thing around, long and lean, every young mans dream! She turned every head in town!! She was built and fun to handle son.... I'm glad that you dropped in!! She reminds me of the one I loved back then! I guess you get the general idea. It actually turned out to be the brunette in his "Vette" that turned the ol' man on!!

In the 1962, gotta be the "Route 66" TV show theme song.
In the C6 . . . I'll go with some classic Steppenwolf: "Magic Carpet Ride".

My favorite is "Shut Down" by the Beach Boys
Tach it up, tach it up
Buddy gonna shut you down
It happened on the strip where the road is wide
Two cool shorts standing side by side
Yeah my fuel injected stingray and a 413
Revvin up our engines and it sounds real mean
Declining numbers at an even rate, at the count of 1 we both accelerate
My stingray is light, my slicks are starting to spin, but the 413's really digging in
Gotta be cool now, powershift, here we go
The superstock sled is winding out in low, but my fuel injected stingray is really starting to go
To get the traction, I'm riding the clutch, my pressure plate is burning and it shakes too much
Pedal's to the floor, hear his dual quads drink
Now the 413's lead is starting to shrink, he swallowed a transmission, but its understood I've got a fuel injected engine sitting under my hood. Shut it off, shut it off , buddy now I shut you down
