11) Chevrolet Corvette C6.R - This C6 Corvette is a heavy contender at the Le Mans. There is a much fun fact that it gained a class victory at the 2011 24 Hours of Nurburgring in GTE-Am class.

12) Jeff Gordon #24 Impala - A #24 Impala Stock Car driven by one of the most famous NASCAR racers in history, Jeff Gordon. This 2010 version is particularly the most memorable Impala Stock Car I have ever saw because I tried it on Gran Turismo 5. I guess I have to owe Mr. Jeff Gordon a big thanks.

13) Chevrolet Cruze WTCC Touring Car - The Chevrolet Cruze has been proven to be quite successful as a WTCC touring car. It was so successful, they even won the Manufacturer's World Title twice!

14) Chevrolet Corvette Z06 (C3) Race Car '63 - The Chevrolet Corvette C6.R may be a great racer but the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 (C3) Race Car from the 1960's is highly memorable.

15) FLM09 - Okay, we all know that this Le Mans Prototype is not a Chevy but why we call this Le Mans Prototype a Chevy? Good point because when I played Forza Motorsport 4, I notice these three FLM09 racecars at the Chevrolet showroom. I questioned myself that what the heck are those and then I said that these FLM09 racecars are equipped with V8 engines sourced from the Chevrolet Corvette and these FLM09 racecars are built for the American Le Mans Series. The most memorable was the Chevrolet #55 Level 5 Motorsports Oreca FLM09 because last year, this FLM09 prototype won its first ALMS championships (team, driver, and rookie).

16) Chevrolet Lacetti WTCC - before the Cruze, there was its predecessor, the Lacetti or Optra, which was sourced from South Korea as the GM Daewoo Lacetti right before its full model change in 2008 as the Lacetti Premiere. When I looked upon this Chevrolet Optra/Lacetti Touring Car, this racer goes like nothing what I have expect for the city-class compact sedan.

17) 2010 Juan Montoya #42 Impala - Juan Pablo Montoya is one of the best Formula One racers in history aside from the legendary Michael Schumacher. However, in 2006, this former Formula One racer takes on NASCAR. It might seem to be a regal shocker but with Juan Pablo Montoya's participation in NASCAR, his skills are getting better and better. In 2009, he steps inside the Impala Stock Car and he is part of the Chase for the Sprint Cup for the first time of his life but on that season, he placed 8th but that's okay because he established his position as one of the best NASCAR racers in history.

18) 2010 Dale Earnhardt Jr. #88 Impala - Like father, like son, Dale Earnhardt Jr. tries to succeed as his father, Dale Earnhardt, who holds the record of 7 NASCAR championships right before he died in a 2001 Daytona 500 accident. When his father died, Dale Earnhardt Jr. steps into the limelight and his popularity rose not just in NASCAR but into other sports and entertainment as well. He fought alongside with Hendrick Motorsports in 2008, which in fact the champion of Chevrolet works teams, and he gained his first win after a 76 race blank. However, his skills is not as impressive as his father but he gained a podium finish in 2010. His Impala Stock Car with National Guard sponsorship really hits the spot but why sponsoring with a military organization? Beats me...

19) Chevrolet Corvette C5.R - The fifth generation Corvette is somewhat memorable and this race-spec version was a big fighter in the motorsports world right before it was succeeded by the Corvette C6.R.

20) 2010 Jimmie Johnson #48 Impala - I never thought that a NASCAR racer like Jimmie Johnson learned the tips and tricks from Jeff Gordon, who apparently the team owner of Jimmie Johnson's #48 Impala Stock Car. It seems that these two know each other very well. Jimmie Johnson won 47 races since his debut in 2002 and he became a 4-year Sprint Cup champion since 2006. This number 48 Impala Stock Car grabbed the attention and mostly the LOWE'S sponsorship on the side and back, which makes it an obvious fact that he teams up with some kind of a hardware store like LOWE'S. I think that this is one of the most majestic Impala Stock Cars in NASCAR history, especially Jimmie Johnson himself, who became the "it" racer in NASCAR history.
