The following quote, spoken by a legendary engineer, comes from a book we recently read about the automotive industry:
“All Corvettes are high performance… it’s just a matter of degree.”
This was in the context of describing the Corvette lineup, from the Coupe and Grand Sport to the Z06 and ZR1.
Mad props if you can guess the name of the engineer in question in the comments.

Was it Tadge Juechter, either him or Heinracy, the quote do’nt really apply to the era’s of tenure represented by the great Zora Arkus Duntov, or Dave M or the other Dave.
I’d say Heinracy is a legend, he’s my personal hero; Juechter is a legend in just about annybodys book but I’d say that John Heinracy is more of one.
That do’s sould like somthing Duntov would say in his thick accent though in my opinion the quote would’nt quite fit the reality of his era, it would fit his attitude.
Doesn’t really apply to the mid-late 70’s does it?
Hmm, I know I’m probably very far off here, but I’m going to guess “Maximum” Lutz….
No but I do know who said “If you take a standard touring corvette and add the z51 package,you get a little zo6.
