Not true. I know what it stands for, and so does the saint, ohiovet and probably many more. Corvette. We're talking about generations of Corvette. Why the C should mean anthing other than Corvette makes no sense whatsoever. But, it makes for a fun thread. Anyone who cannot accept that it means Corvette I feel badly for you. Perhaps someone will take the time to post a wiki entry on it, and that will settle the matter for you.

Absolutely not, but then I don't need to. I don't care if GM agrees with this. I know what the C stands for, and that is all that matters. I don't need or expect that there was ever anything "official", documented, trademarked, or anything else special about the designation, and there doesn't need to be. It can't stand for anything but Corvette, because that is the only thing the designation is used in reference to in our context. Anyone spending more than two seconds anguishing over what or where the "official" designation derives from is wasting valuable time that should be spent sleeping or doing something productive.

They get it, others overhearing the conversation are clueless.

Or is it 'counter engine'?
No wait, it's 'Chevrolet Engine'.
So it's settled then.
The 'C' in C1, C2 etc. means 'Chevrolet'.
