In this episode, I share with you the genesis of the book I have written on the Corvette. It is written from the perspective of an insider who led the team and helped make it all happen for 17 years of Corvette history. The book allows the reader to approach the story at three levels, in pictures with captions, as the main stream story and as side bars that tell interesting side lights to Corvette.

Every Corvette enthusiast should talk a trip to the home of Corvette Assembly and the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY. The plant tour is a good visual experience, but there is so much more that is unseen. It is the unseen engineering and processing that makes it possible for the car to go together right the first time. Let me tell you what to look for to make the unseen visible.

I’m going to change the subject on you and talk about architecture, specifically the McLellan House. Our home was designed for my wife Glenda and myself in 1969 by a student and lifetime colleague of Frank Lloyd Wright, John H. Howe. Living here for almost 40 years has been an extraordinary experience. I’ll show you in pictures what I mean.

This is Part 2 of 2 on Fuel Economy
Corvette fuel economy is a topic that affects the pocketbook of Corvette drivers but one that too few of us want to talk about it when we can talk about performance. So, ready or not, here is the lowdown on fuel economy, a topic that affects the performance of your car and along with emissions defines the performance that is possible. In two podcasts I discuss the current Corvette and then talk about the future and what’s in store for Corvette drivers in this world of increasing fuel efficiency requirements.

Reeves of Callaway Cars fame and I go way back to the time in 1986 when we made the decision to go for a naturally aspirated 4 cam engine (the LT5). We shared with Reeves the work we had done up to that point to develop a twin turbo Corvette. Reeves took this and made it his own, producing the Callaway Twin Turbo Corvette. This lead to the 250 + mph Sledge Hammer and an ongoing series of Callaway Corvettes, the latest being the C16.
