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.

THANK YOU FOR THE MESSAGES THOUGH THERE WAS ONLY TWO.<br />

1. FROM PATRICIA GARRAHAN, SHE AND PATRICK WENT DOWN TO THE DESERT HOT<br />

LEARNED THAT HIS AUNT IS DEVELOPING A LITTLE DEMENTIA AND THEY HAVE BEEN<br />

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 />

TO THE AIRPORT. IT SEEMS THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA WAS PAYING A VISIT.<br />

2. I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM FREDA NULL TODAY AND IT SEEMS SHE AND HERB<br />

HAVE MADE AN ADDITION TO THEIR TOYS. THEY HAVE PURCHASED A NEW 35 FOOT<br />

5TH WHEEL. THEIR ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO KEEP ITUPRIGHT (IF YOU ALL WILL<br />

TOMORROW THEY ARE ON THEIR WAY TO PISMO TO ENJOY THEIR NEW TOY. THIS<br />

ONE HAS 3 SLIDES, WALK IN CLOSETS, SPACE FOR A WASHER AND DRYER, ALSO. NEXT<br />

‘In the Garage’ by Dale Comer<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 />

there are still many out there hiding here and there.<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 />
