It was incredible to see him be apart of the Quest movie by Michael Brown Productions and view the Miller amazing story come full circle. Below is a segment of Corvette in the Chevy 100 movie, I admire his candor…..listen as he calls Corvette..”HORRIBLE” :) John always told it like it was….
back in the day he held many speed records, in a Corvette
…..rest in peace John!

What would a Corvette site be at Halloween without a picture of the UGLIEST CORVETTE, I have ever seen. A shame the guy hand painted or globbed painted on this Corvette. Below a picture that makes me smile, the three littlest ones, Jacob and Ryan the twins and Nicole as LaLaLoopsy!

Tadge Corvette Chief Engineer Interview [VIDEO]

Friday, October 26th, 2012

I had tickets to the recent Road Atlanta event, bummed I could not make it because a lot of Corvette stuff was going on, the release of the 2014 emblem, and so much more. Glad our friends from Corvetteblogger were there and we can share their interview with Tadge.

He mentions had there not been a bankruptcy, the ZR1 would not have come to be…..?!?! Wow he also talks about today’s Corvette and the 427; years later, you’ll say “Man I wish you would have gotten one of those”

Thursday, October 25th, 2012

We have heard from our Texas CorvetteConti Corvetter Mike and he says;
“Reached 131 MPH on the entrance ramp to this new stretch of road…then let off the gas and coasted along at 85-90….MMMMMMM…I’ll send video the next time I drive the Texas Autobahn. :) Mike B.”
Mike has a beautiful 2012 4LT Supersonic Blue Grand Sport convertible

JUST ADDED; Hennessey CTS-V does 220 on this stretch…..VIDEO!!!!!!!
