Winter 2008
Because we value the readers of Corvette Quarterly, we are taking some time to make Corvette Quarterly the best source of Corvette news available. As part of this process, we will not publish our spring and summer issues for 2009.
But please check the website often to find the latest news on Corvette and information on the magazine.
Thank you! Your Corvette Quarterly Team
See what happened behind the scenes during mom turned Internet Corvette adventurer Becky Anderson’s (a.k.a. Vette Girl) quest to break the 200 mph barrier for the first time.

The 2009 Corvette ZR1 takes the phrase “burning rubber” to the extreme. Check out this Jalopnik clip of the ZR1 leaving behind a trail of smoke as it tears down the track at Milford Proving Grounds in Michigan.
Get ready to rip. We’re goin’ for another ride in a ZR1, this time for a lap around the 14-mile plus Nordschleife course at the world-famous Nürburgring near Cologne, Germany — the toughest racetrack in the world. Your driver is Corvette development engineer Jim Mero. Your lap time is an amazing 7:26.4, an unofficial track record for a production two-seat car. Better cinch down those belts again. Tight.
