For almost 70 years the Chevrolet Corvette has been the USA’s sportscar, the American dream on four wheels. Was it always a bonafide Ferrari-fighting supercar? No. It’s arguable that’s only the case now with the introduction of the new 2022 C8 Corvette Z06. Was it always a Le Mans legend? Again, no. But it has always been a style icon and Corvettes have pretty well always been very very fast. As the new Z06 with its screaming 8,600rpm V8 breaks cover, we thought we’d count down the very best of its ancestors and speculate whether it’ll get a spot among the greats.
