Corvette

Most R&D Corvettes never leave

Chevrolet’s gates. This one did,

as a “thank you” for helping

astronauts get special Corvettes.

The father and son team of Gerald and Joe Gregory update a 1964 Corvette with C7 suspension,

an LS7 engine complete with 427 inches makes an awesome autocross performer with a

vintage Grand Sport vibe. Look for this hard charger at autocross events everywhere.
