Format:Paperback
This book gives us an insight as to how to revive or restructure the flattered product or economy. It should be studied carefully to gain a vision of why C5 is so successful and extremely competitive against the rivals from Japan and/or Europe.
Format:Paperback
As an avid vette fan since my teens, I finished this book in less than a week (I usually take months to read a book cover to cover). The C5 vette is a significant leap forward for chevy and it is amazing the car got built (read the book for the details!). You two may want to run out and spend $45k on a new vette for your garage after reading this book. I highly recommend it.
Format:Paperback
This book is really good at depicting the in and out, day to day struggles that go along with making a car. It is also, however, at times nothing more than a breathless fluff piece for Corvette. It seems that every chapter has at least a paragraph describing the raw sex appeal of a Corvette. That's fine to a point, but it got tiresome by the end including chapters devoted to Corvette lovers, their Corvette shows and museums (the chapters in this book are pretty short, though).
The detail paid to the problems that came up was interesting and it's impressive to see all that goes on.
I think a better car book is "Car" by Mary Walton that discusses the '96 Taurus. Better written and less gushing (but then, how much gushing could be done for a Taurus anyway?).

Impossible to put down.
Expecting a book about a car? Wrong. This one is about people reinventing a car and it's loaded with heroes, villains, and characters that you'll both respect and detest. Read more

ACAR shows how close "Corvette" came to being extinct!

A rare inside view of GM and the auto industry
Being a two-time Corvette owner, I anxiously awaited the publication of this book, and had my copy on pre-order with a local bookstore. I had it read in under a week. Read more
