Track performance GS MRC vs Z51 with T1 Suspension
Original question is here.
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.

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?

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?

Window Valet as Standard Feature
Original question is here.
C7s asked:
Many other vehicles offer the ability to roll down the windows using the remote fob. Why wasn't the C7 included in this? It would help with the closing of the hatch when the windows are up. I have a 2016 with the power pull down and I still have to slam the hatch for it to close. When the windows are open no problem. I would love to have this feature available as a dealer flash.

Instrument Panel Speed/Responsiveness
Original question is here.
spearfish25 asked:
As a new C7 owner, I'm surprised at how sluggish the DIC mode changes are when using the rotary dial. Why didn't display responsiveness get a higher priority in the design process to avoid impacting the driving experience with delays after setting changes? Is there anything that can be done to improve the response time?
