Corvette Museum, Zora Arkus-Duntov
I made this video while at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. This video is of the Zora Arkus-Duntov exhibit.
According to caranddriver.com (link to the full story is below) Zora Arkus-Duntov and the achievements he made over his more than two decades at General Motors are well known to die-hard Corvette enthusiasts.
Sales of the Corvette were declining, and GM was considering retiring the sports vehicle early. At the last second, Arkus-Duntov intervened to salvage the Corvette and elevate it to the status of Chevrolet's swan song vehicle. His opinions gained him widespread internal respect and the task of transforming the Corvette from a stylish, heartless two-seater into a top-tier sports car.
His new position of power only encouraged Arkus-reckless Duntov's use of speed. He set two Pikes Peak records while driving a disguised Chevy sedan, and in 1956, at Daytona Beach, he reached 150 mph while driving a slightly modified Corvette. This achievement paved the way for a protracted series of experimental endeavors, which provided yearly performance enhancements to Corvettes in production.
