Get in-depth info on the 2024 Chevrolet Corvette including prices, specs, reviews, options, safety and reliability ratings.
Ignore the titles, what matters is that five men have been synonymous with shepherding new Chevrolet Corvettes to market during the American icon's 71 years: Zora Arkus-Duntov , Dave McLellan , Dave Hill , Tom Wallace , and Tadge Juechter . Juechter, the man when it came to any media outlet or Corvette fan trying to understand the last three generations of Corvette engineering, philosophy, and aspirations, is retiring this summer.
Take Wallace, who became the Corvette's vehicle line executive and chief engineer on January 1, 2006, but only held the engineer role for seven months — and Dave Hill's Wikipedia page doesn't even give Wallace credit for that short stint. In July of 2006, GM promoted Juechter from being assistant chief engineer of the Corvette to chief engineer for the Corvette and the related Cadillac XLR, reporting to vehicle line executive Wallace.
After Piatek's move, GM promoted Josh Holder to the role of Corvette chief engineer. Holder's been with GM since 1999, joined the Corvette program in 2002, and remains Corvette chief engineer today. But even after Holder's promotion, Juechter was still being called Corvette chief engineer in headlines , and we'd bet a month's salary, a donut, and a box of Jake stickers no one outside of dedicated Corvette fans is familiar with Holder or Piatek.
