Default does rain hurt these cars?
i usually always drive in the rain and since im in the city it doesnt get much dirty other than some rain spots and dust which i wipe away. but can the rain cause rust underneath?

If you get rain on these cars they turn into mustangs.

you can usually get $20,000 more for a Corvette that has not been driven in the rain... Only $5,000 more if it has Black Wheels.

I don't drive mine in the rain and just to be safe have recently started using the rinse less car wash and now that I have just read that rain can turn these cars to turn into mustangs,well I darn sure ain't taking any chances.

this is pretty funny.

on a serious answer/note. the corvette has less steel in it than just about any other car on the road. there is nearly nothing to rust. and the little there is is coated.

you can drive a vette threw a monsoon, and then into the desert 400 million times back to back without issue lol.

Yes. Why do you think GM provides a water-proof car cover free with the purchase of every new C6?
