Why can this '62 Corvette be called the "C6.R" of its day? How about 12 wins in 14 starts that year:?

That's just one reason why this car was another fun one to write about in '09.

The other reasons? How about going over to the "Featured Corvettes" section of this site and clicking on "'62's C6.R" once you get to the C1s.
