Retired Microsoft Developer Shares the Project Details that Earned Him a Little Red Corvette
Those “brainiacs” who come up with all the wonderful software to make our computers more useful aren’t always nerds.

Including AFM Tech in the C8 Corvette ZR1’s LT7 V8 is a Huge Mistake
General Motors commodities are planned more than five years in advance. They are the product of careful coordination between more than 160,000 global employees, not to mention partnerships with a massive dealership network, countless suppliers, and all of their respective employees. A ship that size floating in the sea of the modern information age is bound to suffer from some leaks. This is especially true when you consider the prying eyes of spy photographers, curious journalists, and other interested parties – which, in the Corvette’s case, includes an army of rabid fans who, by and large, are all successful, motivated people with a lot of time on their recently-retired hands. Add all of this up, and it is no surprise that these ‘Vette specialists struggle to remember the last Corvette debut where anything but the final numbers was a surprise. Now, we wouldn’t hesitate to believe a conspiracy theorist who claims most of these leaks happen by design as a way of keeping the fire burning in the furnace of the hype train. Still, even if that’s the case, GM has struggled mightily to keep the details of its most anticipated products secret before their respective debuts and obviously didn’t want ALL of the info we’ve obtained in the past decade-plus to get out.
