The story of the vette really is tear jerking. I’m Australian and most wouldn’t know this. But our division of gm, holden, would have died without the c5.

Arrh,.. sez wot mate? The LS engines didn't come along to save the Commodore, they came along because GM HQ forced Holden to cancel the Aussie 5-litre, which was already a fully developed and significantly better engine then the SBC it replaced. And it wasn't a matter of cancelling the Aussie made V8 because the LS was better engineered, it was done so the Holden engine numbers could be added to the Chev production to bolster US production under the claims of 'keeping jobs in America', and so that the US unions could be placated. They were only able to get away with it, as the first step to closing Holden's local production, thanks to the efforts of PM's Hawke, Keating and Howard to erode the Australian Content Laws. For any arguement of the LS being better, I'd point to Larry Perkins refusing to run the LS in his racecars, and beating the factory Holdens with the Aussie 5.0. Supercars banned the 5.0 to force him to run the LS.

The thing to remember about the choice for the "Blue Flame" inline 6 in 53 was because Chevy did not have a V8 at the time. The legendary small block V8 would not be available for 2 more years. As soon as it was released in 1955 it was immediately stuck in the Corvette. Chevy was about the last of the GM brands to get a V8 as at the time Chevy was the bottom of the food chain within GM. Also the initial 53's were basically just a fancy body stuck on the current 53 Chevy passenger car frame and were pretty much that same frame through 1962.

Nothing has changed; the Corvette remains the most affordable supercar 70 years after it came to be, and we still love that America has it's own wonderful sports car. Long live the Corvette!

This one was a banger! I was thinking, I would reccomend the story of the Porsche 917 next. I personally believe it is one of the best car stories in history! In case you aren't familiar, the entire car (which is one of the most dominant Le Mans cars ever) was designed in two months, and when the time for inspection rolled around, they only had one of the required 25 units built. So they stood 25 bodies of a 917 in a line and prayed the inspectors would only ask them to start unit #1, which was the only one with an engine in it. Then, when it got to a track the first time, the fan blew out of the engine, and the windshield wiper flew off too, but somehow this car became reality. Even the body of the car was utilized efficiently, the tubing of the frame was also the pipes for oil and fuel, to save weight. Then, the car went on to win... literally everything. Anyway, sorry for making you read that wall of text! I would love to see a video on the 917, I mean really love it, and I think it would do quite well. Hope your hand gets better, and thanks for the amazing videos!

I just love corvettes. There is nothing like the sound of a classic american v8. My favourite is the C3. Here in germany they are pretty rare, and i hope i can afford one at one point in life.

Was never really a Vette guy but this video was amazing!!! My favorites are the C1 and C5… also ALL corvettes were made of fiberglass/plastic. Every single one. Not just starting with the C4

The C5 is such a sexy car, hats off to the team that put their careers on the line to build an icon

The c5 is the last vette with pop-up headlights , the aftermarket support of this literation of corvette is crazy from from engine and chassis tuning to headlights mechanism conversion i guess a c5 vette would be great platform for time attack racing.

Someone has red "All Corvettes are Red". Good stuff. For those that dont know, All Corvettes are Red was written by a journalist who had full access to the Corvette program during the 90's and documented the entire creation of the C5, from conceptualization to production. It's really fascinating and I highly recommend giving it a read if you're a fan of Corvettes or just cars in general. Ive owned 2 C5 Corvettes so far and am looking for a 3rd. They are incredible machines.

The Corvette is never gonna die. Corvette forever! Great job making a video on the best American sports car ever made!

Event after event the "stone age" suspension in my nearly 20 year old C5 puts newer, more advanced cars to shame through the corners. Props to the GM team that kept the Corvette alive!

That black low Vette is bad ass

You did the corvette justice with this mini documentary. These were all the corvettes I grew up with and was happy to see the respect for the achievements the car had.

All the greatest cars were spawned by the raw passion, the dream with odds seemingly always stacked against them. It's opposite of a nightmare

Corvettes have been taken for granted for too long in the past. Not anymore. The new C8 Z06 with LT6 is the new global benchmark.

Just incredible. The whole story. And just as all the wins from the C5, C6 and C7. Now the Corvette has won another championship and Lemans win. Continuing the story of a car that never should have worked. And good to know you are listening and eager to learn. I look forward to the next one.

(Or if something happened to my device, cuz I didn't know what was happening)

It's funny how history repeats itself. Chevy was again in a tough situation as the C6 was ending its run, and despite both public and private desires for a mid-engined Corvette, everyone involved in the C7's development was told they'd be shown the door if any engineering money was spent on anything other than a front-engine C7. C7 came, did awesome, and the C8 project began, but lo and behold, much of the engineering considerations done for the C7 somehow heavily paved the way for a mid-engine C8 to happen. Gotta love how devoted and devious the folks who bring the Corvette to life are!

We’re ready for the C8 episode as soon as you are. These videos are done so damn well.

So fittingly American, the C6.R was the loudest car at the track. Fast forward to the 2023 Le Mans, swap out the letters and numbers (from C6.R to ZL1), keep the manufacturer the same, and the sentiment still growls true! God Bless America! (No one on God's green earth can tell us otherwise. Even if they did, we couldn't hear, since they're not on the moon yet! Greetings from both Canada, and a guy who wanted nothing more than a Corvette when he was 10!)

@@boredguy2935 Really? I just follow NASCAR, but the fact that the Corvette is still alive and kicking at Le Mans is amazing!

I love that Jay Leno took that dark blue 1999 C5 as payment for an appearance in lieu of cash. He truly is a car guy at heart.

Aaaand we're back, like i said yesterday, great writing, good video.

Hey, thanks!

The best car that ever made ❤

Still love my supercharged C5! Been in the family since new - 2001

I feel like I'm watching a documentary video in the "Ready Player One" universe every time I watch your videos. ❤

The reupload we needed 💯 Just like my last comment, quality is top notch! Love the history of these cars! Thank you for your time and efforts Squidd! Looking forward to your next video!

The thing i always loved about the corvette is that it never gave a fuck about what it's supposed to be. It's so unapologetically american. It kicks your ass with sheer brute force. I never saw many as a kid in germany, but whenever i saw one it almost blew out my eardrums with that sweet sweet screaming V8. If i could buy any car, to drive every day, it would probably be a corvette c6 wrapped like the one from need for speed most wanted 😂 that was my childhood, and it was always one of my dream cars.

how can a person not like the Corvette, its the definition of a sports car that eney one would lovve to have its like the mclaren f1 to the normal world

Ah Shit, Here We Go Again.

day 27 season 2 of asking for a Veyron video.

Since a child, peeking over the iron curtain - I was in awe and in love with American sports cars. Sadly they are really impractical to own in the Balkans as the parts are scarce and expensive and there are not many mechanics that know how to properly maintain them... So for now, my loyal old BMW will have to do :)

First time I saw a C6, it was a C6.R in one of the Forza games, and I fell in love with it.

day 29 season 2 of asking for a Bugatti Veyron video. It's coming

I love this car. Just all emotional.

Perhaps the best presented documentaries I've seen since Top Gear.

I cried. Incredible. Please don’t ever stop.
