The Best And Worst Corvettes Of All Time

http://www.autoblog.com/photos/best-worst-corvettes-all-time/


The Corvette is one of the most iconic cars in American automotive history. Its genesis was way back in 1953 and the famous sports car is now on its seventh generation. It has remained a staple of American muscle and is perhaps the most recognizable car that the US produces.

Over the past 60 years, Chevrolet has produced a lot of Corvettes – more than 1.3 million across six generations, in fact. During that time, it has set the tone of the entire Chevy line and given the Americans a car to compete with the Porsches, Audis and Mercedes-Benzes that often dominate the sports car conversation. All in all, it has been and continues to be a very important vehicle.

So, in celebration of the Corvette, we’ve put together a list of what we feel are the best and worst of America’s sportscar. Click on through for a brief tour of the Corvettes that are the most memorable and those that are forgettable. Do you agree with the choices?

Best - 1967 Corvette Sting Ray L88

There are subtler ‘Vettes, if any of them can be called that. This is not subtle. It’s the embodiment many of Zora Arkus-Duntov’s most aggressive ideas about how a C2 should be that somehow got past the beancounters. It was the last year of its body style with a stupidly powerful 427, rated (with a wink) at 430 hp. It was closer to 550 hp, if not north of that some.
Only 20 were built in 1967, so there’s unicorn status to bolster the phenomenal performance – think upper 11-second quarter mile times, stock. The engine continued on in the new body style, but the ’67 was arguably the better combination.

Worst – 1975 Corvette Stingray

This was the fuel-economy malaise at its worst. The standard 350 small block only kicked out 165 horsepower. That's the main criticism of this car, which is more of a criticism of the times. For a child of the 80s, the C3 Corvette was ubiquitous, and that made this body style seem pedestrian in comparison to its predecessors. Decades later, we actually like the swoopy yet taut silhouette. It also had a targa roof, which is pretty neat, too.  Still, the 165-hp output casts a dark shadow on this Corvette.

Rose Gold

Rose gold is a gold and copper alloy widely used for specialized jewelry. Rose gold, also known as pink gold and red gold, was popular in Russia at the beginning of the nineteenth century, and was also known as Russian gold although this term is now obsolete. Rose gold jewelry is becoming more popular in the 21st century and is commonly used for wedding rings, bracelets, and other jewelry.
Although the names are often used interchangeably, the difference between red, rose, and pink gold is the copper content: the higher the copper content, the stronger the red coloration. Pink gold uses the least copper, followed by rose gold, with red gold having the highest copper content. Examples of the common alloys for 18K rose gold, 18K red gold, and 18K pink gold:
18K Red gold: 75% gold, 25% copper
18K Rose gold: 75% gold, 22.25% copper, 2.75% silver
18K Pink gold: 75% gold, 20% copper, 5% silver
12K Red gold: 50% gold and 50% copper.^[3]
Up to 15% zinc can be added to copper-rich alloys to change their color to reddish yellow or dark yellow.^[2]
During ancient times, due to impurities in the smelting process, gold frequently turned a reddish color. This is why many Greco-Roman texts, and even many texts from the Middle Ages, describe gold as "red".
