If your a Corvette or racing fan then you will like this game. It’s fast fast fast. The LT5 engine toy and lock is pretty cool but not spectacular and is the key to getting jackpots from the upper left flipper. Never get tired of the racing drag strip. Start a race, make shots, and collect the different corvettes. The loops are super fast and making shots and combos are the key to scoring high and being in control on this game. It will test your flipper accuracy and timing and it’s in papa tournaments for a good reason.

I just have no clue why this game isn’t in the top 100. A Bally/Williams from the nineties. Three flipper fun. I’m not suggesting it hit the top twenty or anything like that, but I sure enjoy this pin. A very solid “B” title to add to the collection. Add color dmd. The colors are awesome. Solid pin. Lots of fun!

Don't know why this game isn't rated much higher. It's one of the better games out there. It shows up in a lot of pinball tournaments for good reasons. Challenging game play jackpot can only be achieved by good players. Multi ball is very rewarding. Fun races with the cars on the play field.
Overall I would rank this game in the top 50 for sure. Give it a chance it's a very fun game to play.

If your into Vettes and pinball GET IT! Very tough and challenging layout. It has tight shots which I love. The drag strip and moving engine are fantastic toys! Overall I would give it 8/10.

Catch me... if you can!
Pros:
- Some of the best flow since High Speed! I love shooting the orbits over and over for big points.
- Tons of unique combos that actually matter in score, as they are scored when you collect them and during your bonus countdown. Be sure to keep a list of them!
- Really good music. Multiball & high score themes are especially good!
- Animations look nice, some of them (ie. Car Awarded from Route 66, Jackpot) are really innovative and cool.
Cons:
- Kickback target often leads the ball right to the left outlane, essentially wasting your lit kickback.
- Engine ramp can often result in rejects, and typically doesn't divert the ball to the upper flipper when it's supposed to.
- Not that bad a game, but not too good either.

I bought Corvette on theme alone and was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoy it. The raceway/dragstrip is an awesome addtion to the pin and brings in some unique gameplay. The LT-5 is a pretty cool toy as well. I love the piano music at the end of the game!

I own a 'Corvette' machine and I find it a challenging and tremendously enjoyable game. The artwork is stunning both on the cabinet and the back glass. The playing field has so much detail it is a credit to Bally for creating such a fantastic machine.
The ramps are not only challenging to become proficient at scoring high on but also fluid in providing their smooth game style. The 'Route 66' feature, and bonus round, is particularly hard to master. Once you have it, it is a dream run for high scoring. The 'Crossed Flags Dragway' is brilliant! The source of so much celebration and the focus of many a despairing groan. The multi ball feature is well played out on the top screen as you store balls in anticipation of their final release and all of the ensuing mayhem. An oft ignored feature is the 'Big Block' revving engine which has surprised many onlookers when I have caused it to red line and quickly rack up the points.
All around this pinball machine ticks the requisite boxes and ranks proudly as pure entertainment, to the extreme. The audio is of very high quality and the soundtrack beats a thrumming V8 note to warm the heart. My three daughters love to play too and all have grown curious about Corvette motor vehicles as a result. They each have a favourite model and even speak of owning their own muscle car one day. They should be so lucky!
I hope to score my much coveted 'tenth' bonus car and to play the special stage which goes with it. I have heard it is something else. I must be content with my high score as well as lots of hours trying to crack that elusive goal.
'Corvette' ranks, to my thinking, beside 'Black Knight', 'Indiana Jones', 'the Simpsons' and 'Medieval Madness' in the top five pinball machines. The rankings on this site suggest otherwise but my tastes differ from many. It must be said, all pinball machines have a place in someone's heart. My inner child couldn't live without them.
