"Smartly written and extensively researched.Readers get to see a world few will ever know."
Washington Times

No American car carries the mystique of the Corvette, and early in 1997, General Motors unveiled the
stunning fifth-generation Corvette to universal acclaim. But GM's triumph was hard-wonthe legendary
sports car had nearly fallen victim to internal company politics and a squeeze on profits. In this candid
and compelling book, journalist James Schefter reveals the inside story of the people who saved and
reinvented the Corvette, from the drawing board to the assembly line.

For eight years, Schefter enjoyed unprecedented access to every part of GM, including areas off limits
to many company vice presidents. A true insider, he observed the new Corvette's odyssey from sketch
to clay model to prototype to production vehicle. He accompanied test drivers to scorching deserts and
snow-packed mountains. And he came to know the fiercely dedicated team of designers, engineers, and
executives who fought and achieved their dream: a new Corvette that is better conceived, better built, and
less expensive than its predecessors. The Corvette's odyssey to reclaim its glory is a thrilling testament
to the endurance of the American spirit.
