Corvette was one of the first rally cars in USA. Everybody loves Corvettes because with this car you can go at parties, you can travel or you can participate at a rally race. One of the most beautiful Corvettes is the one from 1962. It is a simple car, decent for American people with beautiful lines and Chevy engines like real classic Cars.

In 1958-1962 Corvette series appeared in every TV shows and Heavy Metal video. After that Corvette was used in road racing, sports car and rally. In all this competition Corvette was on the top and made famous many rally drivers.

The second Corvette car was in 1965 but it wasn’t so great like other series. In 1968 was launched Corvette coupe and the young boys were jiggered for it. Unfortunately now Corvette is very expensive and not anyone can drive this amazing car.

People interest decreased in 1973 when the new models were heavier and uglier with big Corvette wheels and shattering Corvette exhaust. At that time many of American people didn’t want to buy a new Corvette car. A new heavy car was released in 1980. I remember the ads with yellow Corvette. That was on every TV station and in most of local newspapers.

The last Corvette car was released in 1997 C% and C6. Are these cars better than European cars? Was better Corvette at rallies? Now Corvette costs more than 60.000 and you need more money to repair it. Take care, spare parts are expensive too.

Now in 2008, German and Swiss team has two Corvette C6 for this championship. Both racing cars were successful before in American Le Mans Series. The new Corvette sponsor is GMAC and it introduced a featured new color for Corvette cars.
