After almost 50 years at General Motors and more than 30 making Corvettes more awesome, all good things must come to an end.

Corvette Executive Chief Engineer, Tadge Juechter, is retiring. All good things must come to an end it seems, even if that good thing lasts for over three decades. Juechter began working within 1993, joining at the tail end of the C4’s reign as America’s sports car, but just in time to dig into the then-revolutionary C5. Prior to the launch of the C7 Corvette, Juechter was promoted to Corvette Chief Engineer, just the fifth person to hold that title.

, a car that’s as underrated these days as anything we’ve driven. Let’s not forget the $100,000, 638-horsepower supercharged C7 ZR1. While the C7 itself wasn’t the great leap forward that the C6 was , the subsequent Grand Sport was a home run, and the Z06 was pretty damn good. Sureproduced more gumption than the chassis could handle, but at least Tadge and the gang built it.
