Default Why Does Every Ask Tadge Question Have To Do With A C7

Don't other generation owners feel the need to have some behind the scenes info on their cars also? I understand Tadge didn't work on all generations but I'm sure he can provide some insight if need be.

The C7 is the current generation so it has the most interest. But there have been questions on other generations, just not many.

If you ask a question about a prior gen that gets the -majority vote- to be asked to Tadge, it will be asked. But as Moose said, the most interest is in the current gen.

How long has Tadge been working on the Corvette? Not sure how far back he would have insight.

He started on Corvette as assistant chief to Dave Hill on C5. Prior to that, I'm not sure what he was doing.

The reason we focus on C7 is that I've allowed previous gen car questions a couple of times near the beginning of this little experiment, and they exploded when Tadge didn't provide the answers folks were expecting. So we're not going to go through that again.

My question (about manual transmission gearing) pertains to both the C6 and C7. Currently it is in the lead but not by much. Feel free to vote for it and it'll be asked.

You asked a great question! To be honest, I rarely check into the Ask Tadge forum anymore. I get tired of reading questions for which I have absolutely no interest in the answer. I think the questions need to have more general appeal. There are a lot more C6 owners out there, so why not more questions answered regarding earlier generations.

Please explain what you mean by "I've allowed". I thought questions were answered as a result of poll results. Are you not allowing some questions to be answered because of your bias of wanting to keep questions related to C7's? And what do you mean by "exploded"?
