CORVETTE TODAY - Kevin Mackay Talks About The Cunningham Corvette & Bringing It Back To Life
In 1960, Briggs Cunningham took 3 Corvettes to France to race at Le Mans. After that race, the cars were brought back to the United States, put back to original and sold to consumers. The #3 car was recovered about put back to the way it was when it raced in 1960 at Le Mans and is owned by a private owner. https://youtu.be/_g_9Eah8pS8; https://podcasts.adorilabs.com/corve...FbtXiohpLYxLCh The car is owned by Bruce Meyers of the Peterson Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. But what happened to the car? After a long legal battle, Kevin Mackay from Corvette Repair in Long Island, New York, has been putting this historic Corvette back to it's original 1960 livery for the past year (after it was purchased by Briggs Cunningham's family at auction). Kevin comes back on CORVETTE TODAY to tell the story of the Cunningham Corvette and to tell you when and where you can see this car...with its two siblings!

That was a crazy fast flash...
Corvettes dont melt....even rear mid engine ones...
this is part of GM s 300k mile validation testing...
i didnt know if that ended with the
altered drivetrain warranty of 5 yrs/ 100k miles hich dropped to 5 years/60k miles over the past few years...
doent matter to most of us as the average corvette owner probably drives on average 12k miles a year at most so it works out perfectly

ME’s Do Not Melt In Bad Weather
Thats good to know but if I drive mine anything like my C7 fair weather driver it won't see much rain anyway.
We've seen several instances of "cold" weather driving by these C8 camos. Guess that means they are not equipped with summer only tires which aren't supposed to be driven below 40F. Is it possible the C8 may be OEM equipped with a choice of either summer only or AS tires? Also, has anybody been able to notice in any of the spy shots that different types of tires are being used?

Perhaps your eyes are bionic and can see what tires these are. This was off one of yesterday’s C8 caravan cars. The only tires we have been able to decipher so far have been Michelin 4S’s — which are only a high perf summer tires. But GM may have a surprise in store; personally, I believe not, but maybe (we do not have any little birdie’s whispering so far).

If (Dual break caliber == Yes), then I think it's a great idea to keep the rotor smaller for weight saving and yet still have a better breaking system and also it balances the pressure between the two calibers and thirdly, you have a backup caliber if one goes bad in hard breaking.

When this was first noticed months ago, most felt the dual calipers would have that beneficial effect of net lesser weight, thought the majority at that time felt that the second caliper was strictly a parking brake.2023 Z06: Hypersonic Gray HTC, two tone blue interior, CCB’s, 3LZ, E60, and with every visible carbon fiber option order-able including wheels.

One of the calipers is much smaller than the other. Looks like a single piston design. If both calipers were being used for braking, I'd be surprised to see them vary in size like this. OTOH, if you're using the disk brake as a parking brake, why not use the main caliper? The only thing that comes to mind is that the parking brake caliper could have a very soft compound that works better for the purpose, and when cold, while the main caliper is a harder compound for better performance and wear at high speeds and temps.My bet is the small caliper shown is just a parking brake caliper with the piston screw mechanism and brake cable arm setup . Best of both worlds.
Ferrari, Lamborghini, and many others are currently using a separate parking brake caliper.Last edited by Racer86; 02-22-2019, 10:35 AM.3LT Long Beach Red , Z51, FE4 , ZZ3, Black interior ,38S red stitching, Q8T, FA5, ER1, CFX, and R8C
