Corvette Statistics

The Chevrolet Corvette is a sports car that has been manufactured by General Motors since 1953. Today it is built at a General Motors assembly plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky, but in the past it was built in Flint, Michigan and St. Louis, Missouri. The National Corvette Museum and annual National Corvette Homecoming are also located in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

The Corvette was Motor Trend magazine’s Car of the Year for 1984 and 1998. It has also been on Car and Driver magazine’s annual Ten Best list fourteen times: the C4 from 1985 through 1989, the C5 in 1998, 1999, and 2002 through 2004, and the C6 from 2005 through 2008. The C6 was also nominated for the North American Car of the Year award for 2005. The C6 Z06 was named “Most Coveted Vehicle” in the 2006 Canadian Car of the Year contest.

Automobile Magazine called the Sting Ray the “coolest car in history”, and Sports Car International placed it at number 5 on their list of the Top Sports Cars of the 1960s.

The 1999 Corvette Convertible, along with the Mercedes-Benz S500, were named “Best Engineered Car of the 20th century” by the Society of Automotive Engineers publication Automotive Engineering International.

A Corvette has been selected as the pace car at the Indianapolis 500 ten times: 1978, 1986, 1995, 1998, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008.
