Summary: Amaizing inside information on the C5 development
Comment: Even though I don't own a C5 (yet) it was very interesting to see how the C5 was born from the C4 (which I own) and many of it's short commings were over come. The bureaucracy that exist in large corporations as well, was exposed.
Had it not been for dedicated employees this icon may have faded from American history.
Excellent reading for any Corvette lover or just plain car buff.
Rating: 3
Summary: A Great Book But Lacking Chronology
Comment: I am a Corvette owner and lover and hence was amazed at the insider details covered in this book about the car I love. But I can't rate it higher than three stars because I find that the author has an annoying habit of parenthetically shifting forward and backward in time. I had a very difficult time following what happened when.
Often he mentions a name in the middle of a story then proceeds back in time ten years (or longer in some cases) to give you this person's life history. By the time you return to the story, you can't remember who, what, or where you left off from. I found this so annoying that I had to read the book in small sessions and, quite frankly, gave up on trying to understand the chronology of the events depicted.
On the flip side, if you're a Corvette lover like me, I don't think you will find a more accurate description of what happens behind the scenes in the design, engineering, and production of America's sports car.
Rating: 5
Summary: American Muscle (and I don't mean just horse power!)
Comment: This is a great book. In depth, behind the scenes, look at how the C5 became America's greatest sports car. The author walks you through the politics at GM and how they shaped the debate inside. Great tidbits about the advanced technology like the special frame the C5 has, and the endless battle to shave off even a few ounces. Project management, corporate politics and intrigue; bone jarring horsepower, blind passion for America's sports car and more. This book should be boring but I couldn't put it down.
