On a much brighter note, however, I hope you enjoy your active / retired life Oh, and wifey and I just went to Bowling Green and (true story) saw 5x more Camaros than Corvettes outside the NCM, 15 vs 3 in a few days, with a nice HBM ZL1 parking smack in front of the museum entrance Finally, I also noticed that Tadge Juechter was added to their hall of fame as the only inductee this year so far.

Good to hear for Tadge. He certainly deserved it. I think he has had the most overall impact on Corvette of any of the chiefs.

Very true that ability to turn a profit means nothing in an enthusiast world. The issue is the reverse is also true and that’s why GM behaves as it does. There are still enough car guys at the core of the company though that will keep things interesting. CT5 Blackwing, Z06 and ZR1 are insane and they would not have happened if not for the Mark Reuss / Tadge Juechter / Tony Roma type guys in Product Development.
