If you’re a car aficionado, you’ve likely had the dates of the 2013 North American International Auto Show inked on your calendar for weeks. The wait is almost over, as the show opens to the public on Saturday, January 19 and runs through Sunday, January 27.

Easily the most anticipated car at this year’s show is the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. Time for a quick history lesson! The first Corvette was released exactly 60 years ago in 1953, and the latest model is said to be the best yet.

If you take a quick gander, there’s no question, this piece of machinery is gorgeous. But, you might also be interested in learning some of our favorite specs.
