I like Corvette Enthusiast... They usually have articals on each type of Corvette every month C1, C2, C3 C4, C5 and C6 Very informative.. They had a great artical on the C4 Cooling system last June

They suck, it's usually some over the top 2 Fast 2 Furious looking car the guy has $100K in or an all original antique with all it's correct chalk markings. I subscribed to a few and got bored quickly. The first issue I got had some five color C5 on the cover with vertical doors

Vette sucks
Vette sucks. This rag rarely even mentions the C4 let alone have an article on one. One more magazine like the last three, which where the first three and I will send a immediate cancel and they can keep any credit. That is how bad the mag is on c4s.

I get Corvette Magazine, Corvette Enthusiast and Vette. I like Corvette Magazine the best( for tech nerd and other columns) and the other two do have some good articles. If you enjoy reading about vettes(all years) like myself then any one is good to read. Although Corvette Enthusiast and Vette seem to have similar articles sometime. Do I wish they had more about C-4's -yes I do. If you have been reading them for years and are tired of them then stop ordering them. Sometimes friends with other era vettes have problems and I might remember a article in one of the mags that leads to a solution.

I had Corvette Magazine for a while - that one's more sober and great for historical articles. Vette I just started getting - definitely more in your face boy-racer but has more step by step mechanical articles. I like reading about all generations

I use to get:
vette
corvette fever
corvette magazine
corvette enthusiast
corvette quarterly
corvette review
I let them run out, now just have vette and corvette fever. I was thinking on letting them run out. But will probably renew and probably get corvette enthusiast again.
I'm getting cheap, I usually flip through them on the magazine rack and put them back. I get a little sick of the LSx engine builds.

I like Corvette Enthusiast and Corvette Fever
I like Corvette Enthusiast and Corvette Fever. I like reading about the other models but I want to read specifics on the C4.I also want more preventive maintenance, repair, and how to replace things that are ageing and are going to be expensive to fix. Who would have thought OEM weather-stripping would cost so much to replace?

Go with Corvette Magazine. I have been subscribed to them for about a year now and they always have great articles. They always squeeze in a story about each generation Vette as well as a DIY and a buying guide for different budgets and generations. They also have a question and answer section for you to send in questions and they always have good responses. If your still unsure about what to subscribe to then go to Books A-Million and buy your top choices and read each to decide what you like. I read mine every month the first day I get it. I LOVE Corvette Magazine!!!

I've been a subscriber to both Corvette Magazine and Corvette Enthusiast since thier first issues. I used to get Vette and Corvette Fever but now I'll just flip through them at the local B&N and only buy one if they have an article that interests me.
I like some of the tech articles but let's be serious; how many guys who can afford a 57 Fulie or 67 L71 going to replace their own gas tank?

I get Vette Magazine and Corvette Magazine and just signed up for Corvette Enthusiast at Carlisle. Corvette Magazine is the better of the two I currently get. They were getting quite a few angry letters to the editor from C4 owners and seem to be getting better with the C4 articles. I particularly like the market guide and generational series they feature from time to time. I also like the restoration articles over the mods.

The only thing bad about the forum - is that you can't read it in the bathroom and I need reading material in the bathroom. The laptop kept sliding off my lap.

I have been getting Corvette Fever for a couple of years, and like it pretty well. I enjoy reading about all generations. The past couple of issues have featured some extremely drool-worthy restomods.
