When most people think of a Corvette, they picture something that only comes out on sunny weekends. Brian’s C5 doesn’t fit that mold. His Corvette has crossed 300,000 miles on its original LS engine and just finished another cross-country run to Bowling Green. It proves that with consistent care and smart decisions, a C5 can outlast expectations. A Corvette Meant to Be Driven Brian bought the car in 2005 with about 50,000 miles on the clock. He was coming out ...

When a C5 Corvette takes the win in Grid Life Touring Cup, folks notice... and when it does it two seasons in a row, everybody starts to pay attention. That was the case with Matan Rosenberg taking the 2025 Grid Life Touring Cup. Taking is a bit of an understatement. Matan delivered one of the most consistent and competitive seasons in GLTC history, racking up 12 wins and 28 podiums, making it a season for the record books. We caught ...

I’ve had my Corvette handling pretty dialed in for SCCA Max2 competition for a few years now — but as anyone who’s chased lap times knows, “well enough” is never the end of the story. Between two adjusters per corner, rake, wing angle, tire pressures, and now even canards, I had a lot of levers to pull. The problem wasn’t whether I could make changes, it was whether I’d pull the right levers to improve my lap times. I generally ...

So right off the bat we have to acknowledge two things going into this article. One, the C5 Corvette track/race community isn't keen on boosted cars out on track... and two... this car makes the community eat its hat. Colt Nixon is the owner of this turbocharged C5 Corvette racing in Nasa ST1. He's had it for 7 years and its gone through several different variations along the way. As his C5 Corvette sits now though, it's a monster capable ...

What Is Time Attack? Time Attack is all about setting the fastest lap you can—safely, cleanly, and without racing wheel-to-wheel. You go out in a session with other drivers, but the clock is your only competitor. Think of it like qualifying laps, without the stress of dive-bombs or door-to-door racing. The Mentality Shift Time Attack requires a different approach than most track formats. Here’s what we mean: Manage your tire heat: Don’t put unnecessary wear or heat into tires during ...

Shred Jesse had a Time Attack event on his summer schedule with OnGrid, and with the day consisting of two back to back days of pretty similar weather... it seemed like the perfect time to test out his DIY WingLogic setup versus the podium proven 9LR C5 Corvette offering. We tested two rear wing setups back-to-back on the same car, same track, and nearly identical weather conditions. The setting was Time Attack as well, so no better opportunity to get ...

Hey there, fellow gearheads! I’m Brian Wick—just a regular car nut who’s owned more Camaros than I can count and has turned wrenches on just about everything over the past 30 years. I don’t claim to be a professional builder or tuner—I’m just a guy who loves working on cars, racing them on the weekend, and driving them to work on Monday. Like many of you, I’ve got a soft spot for clean, functional builds that blend performance and reliability ...

To Boost or Not to Boost, that is the question. You've got a C5 Corvette, and you want more power. There's a lot of ways and options out there, from mild to wild... and hey there's a lot of folks talking about supercharging their corvette, that sounds rad. Is supercharging for you?!? First let's start with the basics... having tangible describable goals with solid reasoning behind them helps. Most folks come at it from all sorts of incorrect perspectives like ...
