Default VIDEO: Tadge Has Spoken....

Greetings to all,

I hope this isn't a repost. If it is, please forgive me. Here is a really informative interview session with Mr. Tadge Juechter courtesy of our Friends at Corvetteblogger about our Mighty C7 Z06!

Enjoy!


Save The Wave,
Corvette_Nut

I saw it last night as well. Seems like a very nice guy, I wish he would do a Q&A session with this forum.

He knows better.


On the other hand, would be great for this Forum to sponsor a few Q&A sessions with Tadge, AS LIVE STREAMING events. Could even charge a small fee to cover costs if necessary.

Default Great job posting

I really like it when we have posts without opinion and this video is proof.

Best line is when he says "wait till you drive it", with that little smile.

Can't wait........

This video reminds me of why I became a Corvette fan and why it endures.

Thank you!

Tadge misspoke when he said the Z06 was the first application of carbon fiber for a torque tube in the automobile industry. The Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series has a carbon fiber torque tube and it was available last year.

To his credit, he didn't say with 100% certainty. He hesitated and said "I think".

I'm just glad they've made that kind of improvement to keep weight down. I hope the cumulative changes in the efforts to save weight don't drag the price up too much.

Edit: Thanks for posting this video by the way. Very much appreciated!

Default Good video

That was informative, thanks for posting this video.

I sure do hope they do a convertible version of this car soon after they start building it.

I love the look of the Stingray, but for several thousand more, I'd rather have this.

That's what I'm thinking. But I am 25 years old. Insurance for a 25 year old for a car such as the Z06 may be…. insane
