Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The full story of the Corvette Grand Sport told in this book reaches almost 100 years of automotive history. The author played an important part of it for sixty of those years. In 1953 Chevrolet introduced the Corvette to make inroads with the youth market that had been favoring Ford. Shortly thereafter, Zora Duntov joined Chevrolet and quickly became a leader of its fledgling performance push. By 1957 the Chevrolet division had closed the gap to Ford with younger consumers, but GM's brass abruptly cut GM's involvement in racing and dialed back the marketing of high-performance cars. Despite official policy, in 1963 a new generation Corvette emerged with Zora Duntov as its chief architect. Duntov supplied private teams with the hardware to continue Corvette domination in road racing, but Carroll Shelby had just introduced the Ford-powered Cobra. The Cobra was a thousand pounds lighter than the new Corvette and easily dominated. Duntov countered by putting together a team to build special lightweight Corvettes that would weigh even less than the Cobras. They were called Grand Sports, and Duntov's team built five of a planned 125 cars before the GM board ordered production halted and the cars destroyed. Duntov hid two cars and shipped three to Texas oilman John Mecom, who resold them to fellow Texas racers Delmo Johnson and Jim Hall, and the author, Alan Sevadjian. The new owners continued to race their Grand Sports until they were no longer competitive. During the next forty years, Alan built and raced Corvettes. In 2004, he was approached by a local businessman who asked him to make a clone of the Grand Sport Alan owned and raced in the 60s. Since Chevrolet owned the trademarked name "Grand Sport," Alan called his new car a "Duntov Lightweight," and trademarked that name. This did not go unnoticed by the lawyers at General Motors, but fortunately for Alan, the head of the GM legal team was a racing fan who had met Alan and thought it wise to introduce the Grand Sport to a new generation. Instead of suing Alan for trademark infringement, he offered Alan a GM license to continue the original production run of 125 cars. For ten years Alan built and raced the continuation Corvette Grand Sports. The story of this car and its reincarnation is captured in this book with more than 450 pictures that span ninety-six years of automotive history.

Download or read book Corvette Stingray written by Larry Edsall and published by Motorbooks. This book was released on 2014-01-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the Corvette enthusiast, there is no greater source of speculation, pent-up excitement, and anticipation than the pending introduction of a new-generation 'Vette. Since unveiling the original American sports car in 1953, GM has upped the ante with each successive model and along the way, the Corvette has evolved from 6-cylinder boulevard cruiser to street racer to Le Mans winner to world-class sports car. Sixty years of constant refinement have ensured that the next-generation Corvette will give its global competitors a strong run for their money. For the making of Corvette Stingray: The Seventh Generation of America's Sports Car, GM granted author Larry Edsall exclusive access to engineers, designers, and other Corvette team members, as well as its own photographic archives, to create the complete inside story of this top-notch sports car. The seventh-generation Corvette (C7) again raises the bar, not only for outright performance but also for performance-for-dollar. Capable of running with - and in many cases outclassing - the likes of Ferrari, Porsche, Audi, and other European legends, Chevy's newest Corvette delivers the goods with a new look and even more performance technology. With more than 300 historical and behind-the-scenes photographs that take you as close to the car as you can get without sitting behind the wheel, Corvette Stingray is a must-own book for any serious gearhead--whether you're a long-time 'Vette junkie, a sports car devotee, or simply an admirer of beautiful machines.

Book excerpt: Get the official story behind the eighth generation of Chevrolet’s legendary sports car in this licensed book featuring engaging text and photography from GM’s archives and Corvette team members. This updated edition of Corvette Stingray is revised to cover the C8’s latest developments, including the 70th Anniversary model, high-performance Z06, and the all-new hybrid E-Ray. Corvette is Chevrolet’s iconic performance car. Its importance and status in the performance-car world cannot be overstated. Thus each new Corvette generation is sweated by Chevy’s designers, engineers, marketing staff, and executives to ensure that it sets the bar higher than the preceding version. With the eighth generation, Chevrolet did more than raise the bar or move the goalpost—they tore down the stadium and rebuilt it from scratch. For the first time ever in a production version, the Corvette featured a mid-engine configuration. Though Corvette engineers had experimented with this engine placement for several decades, 2020 marked the first time Chevrolet had committed it to production cars. The seventh-generation Corvette had prodigious power on tap and excellent performance, but its front-engine configuration had reached its traction limit with increasing horsepower levels. The mid-engine Corvette eliminated any remaining barriers and took the battle to supercar rivals like Ferrari, Lamborghini, and McLaren. With the new Z06 and E-Ray versions, Corvette brought even more heat to the competition. Corvette Stingray reveals the story every Corvette fan needs to read.
