Corvette Forum is an auto enthusiast website for owners and fans of the Chevrolet Corvette sports car.
History
The Corvette Forum was launched in 1999 by Troy Roberts and Ryan Adams, two Corvette enthusiasts. The site is not directly affiliated with General Motors.{{cite web | access-date = 2009-09-29 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090412075828/http://corvetteforum.com/forumhelp/index.php#Whatis | archive-date = 2009-04-12 | url-status = dead

Site Usage
Topics include restoration tips, service and repair advice, aftermarket product discussions, and Corvette news.{{cite news
Discussions cover Corvettes of every year and model, ranging from the first Corvettes produced in 1953 to current models and speculation about future models. Corvette discussion is very restricted. As per their guidelines, “linking to other Corvette sites is not permitted. Neither is linking to non-supporting vendors or other commercial sites”. The site also includes a small online marketplace.
The group used to hold a "Cruise In" at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky, for an annual meet-up event that raised money for the museum. The "Cruise In" was cancelled after the last cruise was held in 2010 when the forum administrator chose St. Jude's over the National Corvette Museum as its charity of choice.{{cite news | access-date = 2009-09-29 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090918044041/http://www.corvettemuseum.com/registration/forum/info.shtml | archive-date = 2009-09-18 | url-status = dead
