LOL. Honestly, I was going to do a post asking, "why the press has turned on the Corvette?" I know they've always loved to bash the Vette, and probably always will, no matter what. "If it's not made by one of the sacred cows of Europe or by Lexus, it's junk." seems to be the attitude. Even if they did compare the 911 to the ZR1, they're still bitch about the seats, the squeaks, trim, and misc "unrefined" sounds the Corvette makes. The price spread on the two cars was like that nasty thing in the punch bowl. "Excuse me, but there's something FLOATING IN THE PUNCH BOWL!!!" For too many automotive writers, the Corvette's ultimate sin it that it's MADE IN AMERICA. So, for them, go ahead and spend almost DOUBLE. It’s the seats, Steve. LOL.

The 911 as shown, is no where near in the same class. WHy didn't they just compare a VW Beetle to a Gallardo? It's obvious this BRITT is prejudicial when it comes to Corvette. Why didn't they take a ZR1 in the SAME PRICE RANGE and thrash the 911? The only thing this "contest" comparison had in common was they both have TWO SEATS! That's it. Nothing else is even close. And I have a strong suspicion that there is a REASON there were no numbers for comparison.... A BASE C6 would probably give the 911 a run for the money. I"m not saying this just because I'm a Vette fan.. I've owned 911s in Europe, and drove them on the Autobahn... As well as Corvettes on the Autobahn as well. Although 911 would stick to the road better at 150... that's about as far as it would go! The Vette would lift the front end at 120, but with an airdam up front, 150 was where it started to get fun, and 180 was where I had to let off due to traffic. For a "FIRST EDITION" program, then pretty much screwed the pooch when it comes to "FAIR" play. Why would I want to see any future editions when the first one was so slanted?? Totally UNFAIR!

It certainly is "Dave MacDonald Month" in the world of Corvette magazines. Here's a question for you and our readers. I saw that the 1961 Gulf One Corvette race car was a No Sale at last month's Mecum Kissimmee Auction. The bidding stalled at $850,000, but did not meet the undisclosed Seller's Reserve. Here's a link to the story... http://www.corvetteblogger.com/2012/01/30/1961-corvette-gulf-oil-race-car-a-no-sale-at-mecums-2012-kissimmee-auction/ And that got me to wondering. Are any of your brother's C1 Corvette race cars with the Don Steves livery still around? I know that 1963 Z06 Corvette #1 that Dave and Sherry picked up at the St. Louis factory has been beautifully restored and is featured in Randy Leffingwell and Dave Wendt's book "Legendary Corvettes."

Corvette designer, Tom Peters explained that his concept car was an outlet for his design team to try out a few ideas in 3D and has NO CHANCE of ever being a production Corvette. In other words, it's NOT the C7. I think that making a custom body version of what I've drawn would be a real challenge, unless you have the ability to make a unique windshield. A C6 production windshield is shaped differently from what I have rendered. If a C6 structure was used, the styling would have to be adjusted to the shape and height of the production glass. So the final result would look "similar" but different from the ultra-low, swept back version I created. But, it would be an interesting design study. We'll talk. - Scott Hi Steve,

I was having problems getting it to start once. Eventually found wires inside distributor were broken, but INSIDE the insulation so you could not see the copper broken. The car TRIED to start... would buck, snort, then die. Then it would "DIESEL"... attempting to run, cycle through about three iterations of the equivalent of a dying elephant.... then hiss, steam, and stop running... I worked on it for days. DAYS. And still could not get it to run. Then an old timer, Chief Warrant Officer who had been flying helicopters for years, took me to the side and said, "Ya know! I had a tractor that sounded just like that when I was a kid". I thought he was busting my chops.. then he grinned and said, "427 with 12.5 to 1 pistons, sounds to me like you are firing on compression alone!" SO, I went and got some AVIATION fuel...and then it wouldn't start at all. In reality, the octane increase simply ceased the pre=detonation that was occurring from compression alone. It truly WAS imitating a DIESEL.... on compression alone. The longer I worked on it, the hotter it got, the more it wanted to run. With the higher octane, it just plain would not try to start. Which made me look for the REAL PROBLEM...which I eventually found. Broken wires. No idea how that happened, but it taught me a MEMORABLE LESSON on what 12.5 to 1 really meant. Once I put new points in the distributor, and fixed the wires, it started up like a champ. Which immediately got a response from the local Germans who promptly called the Polizei (german Police) complaining that the ARMY had a new tank that was making their windows rattle. I eventually had to put mufflers on, in place of the side pipes until I shipped it back to the U.S. Really glad I did not snap a connecting rod, or damage the bearings or crankshaft while trying to make it run with broken wires. And my sincere thanks to this day, to the Chief Warrant Officer who inspired me to leave the ranks of Enlisted Soldiers and follow his foot steps. (Not Aviation though) Anyone with that much insight, knowledge and drive to be an absolute expert in his field, and was willing to let some of it rub off on me, couldn't be all that bad. I did eventually get it on the Autobahn.....and learned the incredible feeling of that bumper sticker I always had on my bumper: "Life begins at 150mph!"... man.. I miss the Autobahn!
