Driving Every Corvette Generation in One Day
After testing out one car from each Corvette generation, a clear winner of the group emerges.
Over the course of most of our lifetimes, many of us have driven more than one vehicle from more than one Corvette generation, or perhaps multiple Corvettes from the same generation. However, we often wonder – how many people out there have driven at least one car from each Corvette generation? The answer is likely not a lot, but accomplishing that task is something that one might expect to do over the course of several years or even a lifetime. In the case of Adam from the YouTube Channel DriveItOut, however, he managed to drive all eight Corvette generations in a single day.
What seems like a difficult feat actually was, because Adam had to round up the owners of all of these vehicles and convince them to allow him to take them for a spin, which took a bit of work. Regardless, what follows is a fascinating look at how each of these cars – built over the course of 70 years now – compare to each other, as well as taking a look at how the Corvette has evolved in general.
Ultimately, one of the most interesting things about this video is the fact that while these cars are obviously quite a bit different, there also quite a few similarities between them as well. Each pushed existing boundaries in a host of ways, presenting customers with a sporty and stylish sports car at a reasonable price. But the ultimate question is – which one did our host prefer the most?
Well, in terms of styling, that win goes to the C2, which isn’t a huge surprise given its incredible popularity. Aside from simply being one of the most beautiful vehicles ever made, the C2 also offered up some seriously exciting performance with a number of engine choices, too. However, Adam professes his love for each generation and the pros and cons of each while also pointing out what makes the newer cars so good, too. It’s a trip through Corvette history worth watching, and it makes us wonder – who else out there has driven all eight Corvette generations, and which one is their favorite?
