The Chevrolet Corvette is an American icon: a rear-wheel drive, two-seat sports car that started its legendary run in 1953 and has seen 57 years of continuous production in Flint, Michigan, St. Louis, Missouri and most recently in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Over the years it has constantly evolved to lead performance and value, with occasional lows and numerous highs along the way. Though it has little domestic competition, cars as disparate as the Dodge Viper, Porsche Boxster and 911, and the Nissan GT-R and 370Z can be considered rivals in terms of performance and/or price. The Chevrolet Corvette is priced from $48,000 to $56,000 for the standard Coupe and Convertible, from $58,000 to $68,000 for the Grand Sport, from $75,000 to $82,000 for the Z06, and from $106,800 for the ZR1.
