Book excerpt: No other classic car has the mystique and romance of the Corvette. It became legendary almost as soon as it was released in 1953. In 1997, the fifth generation of Corvette hit the streets and in ALL CORVETTES ARE RED, James Schefter tells the fascinating inside story of the people who redesigned and remade this icon. With 90 percent of all Corvettes ever made still registered, General Motors knew they held the fate of a classic in their hands when they decided to redesign this amazing car. Originally planned for 1993, the fifth-generation Corvette fell victim to turmoil at GM when the automaker lost more money than any other corporation in history. A dedicated cadre of designers, engineers, and executives saved the car. Granted unprecedented access to every part of the World's number one automobile maker, General Motors - even those off limits to many executives, Schefter has written the most revealing account ever about the inner workings of the car industry.

Book excerpt: Chevy’s Corvette is without question one of the most recognized sports cars in the world. Since its introduction at GM’s Motorama, Corvettes have been favorites for fans and drivers in a wide variety of racing venues, including endurance events, hillclimbs, Trans-Am, drag racing, and GT Racing. For six decades, Corvettes have battled and defeated some of the the biggest names in the sports car world—Ferrari, Porsche, Cobra, Jaguar—at storied road courses like Le Mans, Daytona, the Nürburgring, Sebring, and Laguna Seca.Beginning with the Real McCoy, a Zora Arkus-Duntov special raced at Sebring in 1956, this book draws on the history of factory-sponsored and private racing efforts, chronicling the history of the various Vettes that have been put to the test as racing machines. Noted automotive writer and renowned artist David Kimble delves deep into Vette’s on-track history to provide the most thorough Corvette racing history ever published. Corvette Racing is illustrated with rare images from GM’s media and design archives and complemented by Kimble’s own stunning cutaway artwork. For Corvette and racing fans, this book is the definitive word on Corvette’s nearly 60 years of competition.
