C7fasttoy asked:
I would be interested to know in between GS non Z07 and Z51 with T1 suspension which would have better track performance assuming both using same tire despite the fact GS has some advantage due wider tires.

Default What makes a corvette a "Corvette"

Original question is here.

Clairvoyantwolf asked:
Is a corvette a “Corvette” if instead of large displacement high torque V8 it instead came with a small displacement high revving engine of whatever configuration? Are such concerns a consideration when developing a new model or generation? And how would you characterize the corvette driving experience, especially how it relates to your competitors?

Default Modern Day Zora?

Original question is here.

n8dogg asked:
Do you believe it is fair to compare you, Tadge Juechter, with "The Godfather of Corvette", Zora Arkus-Duntov? If so, what developments or improvements were you single-handedly responsible for during your tenure as Chief Engineer of Corvette and what nick-name would you want to be remembered by?

Is it too soon to ask for a followup on the ring time? Camaro ZL-1 just posted an excellent time.

Not a huge fan of any of the questions in this round. I need to come up with some more to throw in the mix.
