Spring is here and it’s time to get the<br />
<strong>Corvettes</strong> back on the road. I’m looking<br />
forward to going on the Gamblers<br />
Classic run to Laughlin. I have never<br />
been but hear the Bakersfield club does<br />
a great job with all the activities. The<br />
Poker Run sounds like a blast. We’re<br />
even going to sneak in a round of golf<br />
with the Walkers. There is also the<br />
Space Shuttle run to see the shuttle<br />
Endeavour and take in Universal<br />
Studios. It will be interesting for me as I<br />
saw Endeavour being built in Palmdale.<br />
Also, in 1997 my team transported a<br />
major International Space Station<br />
component, Node 1, from Huntsville,<br />
Alabama to Kennedy Space Center<br />
which Endeavour delivered to orbit.<br />
Also this spring is the Clovis Rodeo<br />
Parade and our annual Kroekerville<br />
Picnic.<br />
In October we will be having a party to<br />
celebrate our founding. The Garrahan’s<br />
have graciously offered to host the party.<br />
We had our twentieth anniversary party<br />
there and it was a fun time enjoyed by<br />
all. More information and the exact date<br />
to follow.<br />
Planning continues for the Mystery Run<br />
and all who go should have a good time.<br />
Remember to sign up and pay the trip fee<br />
by the May meeting.<br />
See you all at the next meeting.<br />
GARY<br />
a.k.a.’The Big Egg’<br />
This year marks the twenty fifth<br />
anniversary of <strong>Centra</strong>l <strong>Valley</strong> <strong>Corvettes</strong>.<br />
During the year Charlotte Renna, our VP<br />
of Public Relations, will be writing<br />
articles profiling charter members. I’m<br />
sure there will be some interesting<br />
stories from the first years of the club.

HAVING PROBLEMS WITH PHONE CALLS FROM SCAMMERS. THEY HAVE BEEN<br />
SCAMMED OUT OF SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS. IT IS UNBELIEVEABLE THE PEOPLE<br />
WHO PREY ON THE ELDERLY AND OTHER VULNERABLE SEGEMTS OF OUR<br />
POPULATION. ON THEIR WAY OUT OF TOWN, THEY DROPPED PATRICK’S COUSIN AT<br />
THE AIRPORT. MOST OF THE ENTRANCES AND EXIT ROADS WERE BLOCKED LEADING<br />

The Mid-Engine Corvette<br />
Will Likely Be Confirmed in <strong>2016</strong><br />
Look, we know what you’re thinking!!!<br />
But after decades of rumors, speculation, and concepts, we have it on<br />
good authority from an unnamed source that GM is poised to pull the<br />
trigger on a mid-engine Corvette.<br />
While there’s been chatter that any mid-engine supercar project could be<br />
branded a Cadillac, we don’t think that idea will pass muster. Corvette<br />
godfather Zora Arkus-Duntov long dreamed of a mid-engine version of<br />
America’s Sports Car, and generations of protracted teasing seems to<br />
ensure that GM will make good, and brand the next-gen car a Corvette.<br />
Expect GM to be selective among Chevy stores authorized to sell and<br />
service a mid-engine Corvette. The company will select dealers based<br />
on the familiar metrics of location, sales volume, relationship, quality of<br />
facilities, and customer service record. Ultimately, the production quantity<br />
will be so low that neither the Chevy badge, nor the Chevy retail<br />
experience will prevent them from selling out.<br />
Our source says the automaker is already several years into the midengine<br />
Corvette project, and is nipping at the point of no return. Barring<br />
some dramatic developments, we’ll see something from Chevy<br />
targeted against the Ford GT sooner rather than later. The car is likely in<br />
validation now.
Of course, GM has flirted with mid-engine <strong>Corvettes</strong> for years. But until<br />
recently it has been America’s finest sports car, and the company did not<br />
feel the need to radically alter its winning front-engine, rear-drive formula.<br />
Moreover, the company’s conservative, risk-averse culture has<br />
historically resisted change—but with the arrival of the Ford GT in 2005,<br />
the Corvette unequivocally ceded its claim to being America’s<br />
performance king.<br />
Obviously, the Ford GT and Chevrolet Corvette are not direct competitors.<br />
That said, neither the old GM, nor the new GM enjoys being upstaged by<br />
its cross-town rival. And given that halo cars are rarely financial winners,<br />
there was little it could do during or immediately following the great<br />
recession.<br />
Given the simmering anger regarding its billion-dollar bailout, even postbankruptcy<br />
GM couldn’t justify the development of a new halo car. But the<br />
company is now back in private control, its products are competitive, and<br />
the General can once again afford to allocate resources to more<br />
speculative projects. But as it stands today, Chevy’s current halo car—the<br />
Z06—sits squarely in the shadow of the Blue Oval’s Le Mans competitor.<br />
And the reinvigorated GM seems unlikely to let that stand.<br />
The Mid-Engine Corvette Plan<br />
For motivation, look for an advanced adaptation of the Corvette’s peak<br />
offerings. GM will employ a sophisticated derivative of the LT1/LT4 engine<br />
family with gasoline direct injection and two turbochargers. It will produce<br />
in excess of 700 horsepower.<br />
Obviously, the amidships engine location presents packaging challenges<br />
for the incumbent gear boxes.<br />
And as with any new product program, GM is working to minimize<br />
development costs on the mid-engine ‘Vette, which is likely exacerbated<br />
by the excessive overruns on the C7. Internal estimates initially put that<br />
figure at $500 million, but it eventually ballooned to $1 billion, and its<br />
impact on transmission development is not entirely clear.<br />
But it appears likely they will attempt to capitalize on the mechanical bits<br />
presently available, with changes focused on packaging and weightsaving<br />
opportunities, in conjunction with gearing optimization and<br />
advanced tuning solutions.
So we anticipate the new car will get a seven-speed manual because<br />
offering a standard manual transmission doesn’t prevent the development<br />
of a more exotic, sector-competitive solution, and will help differentiate<br />
the car from other high-dollar exotics that have forsaken them.<br />
While the C7 cost GM $1 billion to develop, it has sold well, finding about<br />
35,000 customers in each of its last two years. So the current Corvette will<br />
remain. When the mid-engine car is released, GM will split the Corvette<br />
nameplate into separate cars sold side-by-side.<br />
Of course, engine placement is not the only factor that will differentiate<br />
the front- and mid-engine models. The mid-engine Corvette will slot well<br />
above the C7, which will continue to be offered in the $55,000 to $120,000<br />
price range.<br />
The new mid-engine model will be priced higher—much higher. Our best<br />
guess is a sticker well above the $160,000 to $200,000 range that Audi and<br />
Acura are asking for the R8 and NSX offerings. Expect a price point closer<br />
to the $400,000 Ford GT and Lamborghini Aventador.<br />
So if you have to ask how much the mid-engine ‘Vette will cost, you can’t<br />
afford it. And when the C7 comes due for a complete redesign, GM will<br />
analyze the programs, and then decide if room remains for a mid-engine<br />
range-topper.<br />
Look for an announcement to trump the new Ford GT as early as the L.A.<br />
Auto Show late this year. By Dallas Williams - January 26, <strong>2016</strong><br />

“Lenny’s Garage,” is a profile of Leonard Shiller, a lifelong resident of<br />
Brooklyn who has a Gowanus garage full of 58 classic cars, vintage<br />
bikes and motorcycles, and other memorabilia. This gorgeously<br />
photographed film is a rare opportunity to peek inside his garage. His<br />
classic car collection includes a 1929 Durant rumble seat coupe, a 1951<br />
Hudson Pacemaker, a 1979 New York City checker cab and a 1965 Ford<br />
Good Humor Ice Cream truck. This isn’t the Smithsonian, though<br />
Schiller keeps the garage jam packed with car parts and likes to get his<br />
hands dirty. “What I really enjoy is being here and figuring what’s<br />
wrong with one of the cars, and actually being able to fix it with my own<br />
hands,” he says. “When I had the ’36 Chevy I actually took the whole<br />
engine apart and rebuilt it, and I enjoy that kind of work. I find it<br />
therapeutic.” Schiller is the president of the Antique Auto Association of<br />
Brooklyn, a club that often participates in local street fairs and parades.<br />

Look what’s coming <strong>March</strong> 1 st !!<br />
C7 Corvette Grand Sport To Debut at Geneva Motor Show<br />
Corvette Racing driver Oliver Gavin has revealed Chevrolet will use the<br />
Geneva Motor Show to introduce an all-new<br />
Corvette Grand Sport.<br />
Details are limited at this point but Gavin posted an image of<br />
Chevrolet's press conference schedule and it clearly shows the Grand<br />
Sport will be introduced tomorrow morning by Gavin and Corvette Chief<br />
Engineer Tadge Juechter.<br />
There's no word on specifications but the 2010 Corvette Grand<br />
Sport featured a wide body kit, a larger rear spoiler, and a Z06-inspired<br />
front splitter. The model also had a retuned suspension, a high-<br />
performance braking system, and unique 18- / 19-inch alloy<br />
wheels. Last but not least, the car was powered by a 6.2-liter<br />
LS3 V8<br />
engine that produced up to 436 horsepower and 428 pound-feet of<br />
torque.
It remains unclear how extensive the changes will be to the new<br />
Corvette Grand Sport but the model will likely be based on the Corvette<br />
Stingray and feature a 6.2-liter LT1 V8 engine that develops at least 455<br />
hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. The standard model can be equipped with<br />
either a seven-speed speed manual or an optional eight-speed automatic<br />
transmission, so it's possible that new Grand Sport could also be offered<br />
with two gearboxes.<br />
Those wondering why Chevy chose Geneva for the introduction should<br />
know that there is a historical element behind the decision.<br />
Chevrolet debuted the C4 Corvette ZR1 at Geneva, marking its return as<br />
a world-beating sports car. The Bowtie also used the show to introduce<br />
the Convertible variant of the C7 Corvette Stingray in 2013.<br />
