For many customers, a Corvette purchase is much more than just “buying a sports car” – it is a total, unique experience.

If the purchase involves a Z06 or ZR1 model, the customer upon delivery will immediately open the hood and locate the engine builder’s name, recognizing their new Corvette engine was hand assembled by a unique team at the Performance Build Center.  In the back of their mind, they probably wish they could be at the center participating in the assembly of their engine.  Starting today, they could do just that – participate in the assembly of their Z06 or ZR1 engine at the Performance Build Center.

A new option code PBC (Corvette Engine Build Experience) is available for ordering on all 2011 Z06 and ZR1 models.  Selecting this code provides the customer the opportunity to be directly involved in the assembly of the engine that will be installed in their respective Z06 or ZR1 model.  

The MSRP of this option is $5800, and includes one night stay; meals and a driver who will transport the customer from a Detroit area hotel to the Performance Build Center for their engine build experience.  Similar to the Corvette Museum option, the customer is responsible for costs associated with travel to and from the Detroit area.

Representatives of Bowling Green, Kentucky received a unique form of support while in Kansas City a few weeks ago, competing for the title of "All American City." Members of the KC Corvette Owners Association came out in full force with a Corvette display at the competition's headquarter hotel.

"I can't tell you how proud we were -- and how impressed and excited the other participants and judges were to see these beautiful Corvettes, many of whom were "born" in Bowling Green, in front of the hotel," said Bowling Green Mayor Elaine Walker. "The support of these wonderful Corvette owners showed just how important the Corvette is to Bowling Green, and hopefully how important Bowling Green is to the Corvette."

Bowling Green was #11 in the competition (the top 10 are named "All American Cities." The city will try again next year!

This week's question was: What cell phone company's latest commercial includes a 50s Corvette and what color is the stripe on the car?

Congratulations to Gus Paul IV of Brooklyn, NY! He correctly identified Sprint as having a commercial with a 50s Corvette with a yellow stripe! Gus scored a Corvette t-shirt and passes to the Museum!

Here’s the latest installment of the Track to Street series from Corvette Racing, featuring the 24 Hours of Le Mans event. This year Corvette Racing celebrated their 50th running at Le Mans, with a commemorative lap consisting of 50 Corvettes being run prior to the race. With excitement and adrenaline running high, the team once again put forth their best efforts, only to watch misfortune strike again. Take a look as the Le Mans story is told from within the garage and out on the track, and what to expect from the team as they continue the battle this season. Watch it on You Tube here.
