Kuniskis begins by observing that “The muscle car race is really down to five cars.” He continues by bringing up is the Corvette, whose faithful he hilariously dubs “the yellow team,” in a nod to the traditional colors of Corvette Racing, when he says that they (we) “will be mad at me that I consider the Corvette a muscle car, but when you look at online shopping behavior, the number one vehicle that our SRT Chargers and Challengers are Cross-Shopped with is Corvette.

Zeus Bronze, along with Rapid Blue and Accelerate Yellow are the three new colors added to the 2020 Corvette’s exterior color palette.

[VIDEO] How It’s Made: The C8 Corvette’s Rear Curved Carbon Fiber Bumper Beam
Over the years, the Chevrolet Corvette has written, rewritten, and then wrote again the book of using advanced materials on a mass-produced sportscar.
Like the innovative “glass-mat thermoplastic composite” front bumpers of the 1984 Corvette, to the first mass-produced carbon fiber hood on the 2004 Z06 Commemorative Edition, Chevrolet’s use of composites and carbon fiber has produced many “firsts” in the automotive industry.

Corvettes on eBay: Highly Optioned 1956 Corvette with 225-HP Dual Quad V8
While the 1956 Corvette is considered to be a C1 or first-generation model, it still marked the first reskin of Chevy’s fiberglass sports car, with several mechanical improvements as well.
Though only 3,467 Corvettes left the St. Louis factory that year, that number represented a huge turnaround for Chevy, which had managed to sell just 700 Corvettes in 1955 and was close to pulling the plug.
