FEATURE INTERVIEW:
This weeks interview is with Eric Tingwall, Technical editor of Car and Driver magazine. Eric knew what he wanted to do from a young age and and made a plan to capture his dream. As a Michigan native and car obsessed youth he dreamed of some day working for Car and Driver Magazine. As such, at Michigan State he obtained dual degrees in mechanical engineering and journalism ..... and the rest is history! I asked Eric on the show specifically to discuss his fantastic review of the new Z/28 in the May 2014 edition of Car and Driver. He personally had the chance to flog the car in depth, and his article really showcased the value of it all, despite the fact that it's the highest priced Camaro in the current lineup (even more than the ZL1). With my recent experience in building a pro-touring car, I can tell you the parts are not cheap. Eric agreed that the cost of the high quality parts in this car far exceed what anyone could pay to duplicate the efforts in another car. The engineering and build quality alone are amazing and as a package it is compared to with vehicles costing much more. |
