Thank you
tadge and his staff from the PR guy,mthe technical engineers, the liaisons...everyone really cared to make this and every event for corvette enthusiasts to be the best that it could be...for us
their passion is just not corvettes but also fir us as enthusiasts to enjoy ..
i also believe the corvette enthusiasts are for the most part...all such wonderfully happy and nice people
i dont know how many tens of thousands were at carlisle this past weekend but to a person, man women or child...just seemed to be there to enjoy with other enthusiasts...
some brands, most brands dont have the same level of enthusiasm and unity...
Young old, middle of the road age wise...older corvettes , newer corvettes...doesnt matter...
What fun...Last edited by JB; 08-26-2019, 10:02 PM.

Someone had asked whether the accessory belt could be changed without dropping the engine. Now we know straight from Juechter that it can indeed be done.
Also nice to hear it was thermally validated on track with a pro driver, AC on, at 100˚ ambient temp. We'll see how it holds up in customer hands but if there are any issues I have no doubt the aftermarket will go full overkill with a driver's side scoop heat exchanger to match the passenger side one.
I like hearing Tadge talk about the Corvette, you can tell he lives and breaths for his metal baby. He's so out of the norm for GM, almost like if Steve Jobs had worked for HP, lol.

In a QA session with the engineers responsible for thermal management, they said it was also tested for its ability to sit in stop and go traffic in hot weather without any problems. They said two hours in stop and go traffic in hot Temps is not a problem.Delivered 5/29!: Scarlet Fever 2021 2LT HTC, Red Mist Metallic Tintcoat, two-tone Naturalw/ suede inserts, Mag Ride, Performance Exhaust, MRR 755 Gunmetal wheels

Kinda strange that they didn’t include the heat exchangers on both scoops from the start. Guessing we will find out the reason later on.
