[QUOTE="Murray20c8, post: 338345, member: 6078"] Sharing the information below confirming that Tadge will be retiring later this summer - After a distinguished and dedicated 47-year career with General Motors, the company announced today the retirement of Corvette Executive Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter, which will go into effect later this summer. A replacement will be announced at a later date. Juechter will be remembered for his industry-leading contributions to the last four generations of Corvette. He began his career at GM’s Assembly Division in Lordstown, Ohio, in 1977. He held a variety of roles across the organization, before joining the Corvette team in 1993. Tadge had the opportunity to work on the 5th and 6th generations of Corvette working under Dave Hill, chief engineer for Corvette at the time. “It’s been the honor of a lifetime to work at this company, leading the men and women who have brought to life one of the most iconic and recognizable vehicles in recent American history,” said Juechter. “Their tenacity and ability to push what is possible with every variant and generation of Corvette was inspiring to see. I know the future of the nameplate is in the right hands.” After launching the C5 and C6, Tadge was appointed to what he described “the promotion of a lifetime,” as executive chief engineer for Corvette. In this role, he led the development of the 7th and 8th generation cars – the latter becoming the world-acclaimed mid-engine Corvette. His most recent involvement will be reflected in the upcoming ZR1, which Chevy teased earlier this month and is expected to be revealed this summer.
