The license plate of the white Chevy Corvette read “Culnane,” and police say that Kevin Cullinane was the man behind the wheel in two different accidents Saturday night.

Witnesses to the second crash, in Manchester, detained the New Boston man when he tried to leave the scene, police said. That accident took place at 283 Varney St, at 7:22 p.m.

At 7:15 p.m., Goffstown police responded to a hit-and-run accident involving two vehicles near Cumberland Farms, at Main Street and Mountain Road.

Witnesses told police a late-model Chevrolet Corvette took off after the crash, heading east on Mast Road.

As Manchester police responded to the crash near where Mast Road intersects with Varney Street, Goffstown officials alerted them to the earlier accident.

Manchester police learned from witnesses that the Corvette was traveling at a high rate of speed and weaving through traffic southwesterly on Mast Road when it struck the other vehicle, pushing it into [...]

We are getting very close to the National Corvette Museum’s Bash Event where the Corvette Team rolls out 2018 model year Corvette. This will be an interesting year as always with lots of surprises along the way.

We are now able to share some important dates for those of you interested in ordering a 2018 Corvette.

The first step in ordering a 2018 Corvette will come on Monday, April 10th with the release of the 2018 Corvette Order Guide. The guide details all the new options, colors and wheels and maybe just maybe there will be some info on the 2018 Corvette ZR1. If that car is in the Order Guide, it’s a safe bet that it will be revealed at the Bash. Absent its listing in the Order Guide, expect blank looks and no comments from members of the Corvette Team when asked throughout [...]

Chevrolet’s official Corvette Order Guide for the 2018 model year has hit the web early and we got a good look at what’s coming our way. There is a new exterior color and it’s called Ceramic Matrix Gray Metallic. It’s the exterior color for the rumored Special Edition that we now know is called the ‘Carbon 65’ Package. You’ll be able to order the Carbon 65 Package for 2018 Grand Sport and Z06 in both coupe and convertible configurations!

All six previous models are returning as expected and there was no mention of the 2018 Corvette ZR1. The Design Packages from last year have also been retired, although some of the options are now orderable outside the Design Package constraints.

A review of the Order Guide does show a couple of surprises including new data points for [...]

Well, your new 2018 Corvette can be ordered today! These are preliminary orders only, as dealers will get notification of their first allocations on April 27th. One problem though is that pricing is still unknown, as official pricing for the 2018 Corvette models will not be announced until May or June.

If you have not already seen the 2018 Corvette Order Guide, which came out on Monday, it is available on the web, or at your local dealer. The guide details all the new options, colors and wheels.

As we said in earlier Thundering Thursday’s, the last 2017 Corvette will cross the line on Friday, June 2nd, with 2018 Corvette production starting on the following Monday (June 5th). You can watch the first 2018’s being built though, as assembly plant tours will continue until June 16th.

Production of the 2018 Corvettes will come to a stop [...]

GM is selling some of their in-house collection of Corvettes at Barrett-Jackson this week. At its sale in Palm Beach starting today, Barrett-Jackson will be auctioning off no fewer than ten factory Corvettes (plus another handful of vehicles) from Chevy’s own stockpile and the GM Heritage Collection.

The oldest among them is a 1990 C4 prototype set up in right-hand drive to evaluate potential export to the UK, Japan, and Australia. There’s a 1993 C4 LT1 convertible with matching interior trim and the underside of the hood signed by all the assembly-line workers. And another ’94 C4 equipped with a giant 572-cubic-inch (9.4-liter) crate engine.

They’re joined by a yellow, C6-based Pacific concept with all manner of carbon-fiber components and other upgrades. There’s also a 2016 Stingray and five Z06s showcased at various events across the country – including several with low VINs.

It’s not [...]
