Default Hello from Virginia

Thought I would check out this site to find out more about America's Legend .... The Corvette !

I live in Newport News, Va. and have owned a lot of Chevrolet vehicles .... but never a corvette and I am hoping to get one and thought I would do some research here. I like the older corvettes .... but am leaning to the newer ones since I took a ride in by brother-in-laws 2014 corvette...WOW !


I have owned a lot of the older Camaros and still have a very rare one that I have owned since 1988.

Welcome and would love to see the Camaro. The CF is the best place to find out everything you ever wanted to know about Corvettes. Lots of controversy on new vs. old Vettes. At the end of the day, you can't loose. A Vette is a Vette. I have had a newer Vette (C5) but mainly the older ones (C1-C3) and I still do. New ones are a complete package that offers way more than a classic, but the classics offer a lot of other cool pros/cons that newer Vettes dont/can't offer.


Best of luck and hope that you get to get the right Vette for you!
