Since ALL Corvette Stingrays with the "faster than PDK" A8 transmission are still on quality control hold in Bowling Green +General Motors Corvette plant, allegedly plagued with serious software issues, one cannot help but wonder how exactly did the journalists and all of them manage to test non defective cars? Furthermore, how did +Tadge Juechter arrive at the performance figures of 3.7 seconds and 11.9 sec ET,?
What is the probability that everyone involved received cars not subject to the quality hold? The probability of +Tadge Juechter disclosing the Nurburgring time seems to be considerably higher.
The irony of this situation is undeniable: the new transmission works like a charm for reviewers while none of the cars can be delivered to buyers due to flawed software operating the transmission.
The power of advertising dollar is impressive as ever and GM certainly does not fall short making car magazines happy and the reviewers provide great return on GM's advertising investment. This is of course until the general public finds out that so called independent reviews involve cars that cannot possibly perform the way Juechter and press describe them. This is certainly a text book example of getting caught red handed, LOL.
