I am almost half way through the book. Very detailed in the relationships and process for developing the Corvette.
I recommend it not so much for a “how to work on Corvettes”, but good for historical perspective on how they came about.

I just finished it two days ago. A real great read. It is amazing how much of a game changer the C4 was!

Its a great book. I've read it cover to cover several times. I liked it a great deal more than All Corvettes are Red by James Schefter.

Agree.

Journalist (who didn't know what he was watching) vs. engineer as author.
