My favorite Chevys - 100 years from now (Part One)

So, Chevrolet's 100th birthday is almost near. Time for me to be more "sentimental" as I'll be bringing a special blog to come up my "Chevrolet Memories". I'll be listing the best 100 Chevrolet cars from the past, present, future, local, foreign, normal, racing, concept, doesn't matter. Let's begin!

1) Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 (C6) - Why I love about this Corvette is its supercharged V8 engine that has more power than the Audi R8 V10, according to a Top Gear episode. The ZR1 is probably the best Corvette ever made because of its performance and with for the 2012 Model Year, it ousted the 2011MY Nissan GT-R at the Nurburgring.

2) Fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro - Returned in 2009 as a 2010 model year and it was popularized after being featured in three Transformers movies as Autobot Bumblebee, this Camaro is gaining huge popularity and this model is turning into a geek car because this is Bumblebee after all.

3) Chevrolet Stingray Concept - This concept car hints the next Corvette. Pretty cool about the Stingray name though.

4) Chevrolet Chevelle '69 - Undeniably the most memorable Chevrolet muscle car. We even saw those rides from several Dirty Harry movies such as The Enforcer and Magnum Force.

5) Second-generation Chevrolet Camaro - built from 1970 to 1981, the second-generation Camaro is far out memorable in the age of baggy pants, Woodstock, disco, and everything groovy, in short, the 70's. It featured incidentally on the first Transformers movie as Bumblebee right until it became a 2007 Camaro Concept after Sam scolded this as a piece of junk. Either way, this Camaro from the 70's was an instant classic.

6) Chevrolet Miray Concept - This cool concept car was designed from our friends at South Korea, which in fact, the latest country to sell Chevrolet cars after bidding farewell to the poorly recognized Daewoo brand. Miray is coined from the Korean word "Mi Rae", which means "future", making this concept roadster a new beginning for another 100 years.

7) Chevrolet Corvette C1 - The first-generation Corvette is the most memorable Chevrolet in the eyes of enthusiasts when it was built in 1953.  This classic is considered a collector's item and this rare purity really makes it up to those who owned it. Imagine that this is your parents' ride back in their young adult years.

8) Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 (2012) - It doesn't come before the early 2012 but the new Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is the Corvette ZR1's little brother. The ZL1 naming was derived from the 1969 original, which in fact, the most powerful Camaro ever built. It targets the Ford Mustang Boss 302 as its formidable rival.

9) 1969 Chevrolet Camaro - This old Camaro is "The Best Chevy Of All Time" thanks to some popularity poll held by Chevrolet. It was said that the 1969 Camaro is one of the best examples of timeless design in the industry.

10) Fourth-generation Chevrolet Camaro - Apparently this was also a memorable Chevrolet when it was made in 1993 until the Camaro nameplate got chopped in 2002, seven years before the Camaro returned in 2009 as a 2010 model year. A special 35th Anniversary Edition, launched in the 2002 model year, is highly memorable on this generation not only because of its special red color with white stripes but also its legendary Camaro heritage.
