The combination of Zora Arkus-Duntov's engineering genius, a rare supercharged Rochester fuel injection unit, and two experts like Dave Crane and Larry Hofer discussing it should make for a fascinating and informative dive into Corvette lore.
This1959 GM prototype supercharged fuel injected Corvette must have been a truly advanced machine for its time, blending forced induction with the precision of Rochester's mechanical fuel injection. This pairing likely pushed the performance envelope and served as a glimpse into the possibilities of future high-performance vehicles.
The fact that Larry Hofer is part of this conversation adds another layer of intrigue his modern engineering endeavors, like the 8.1 L direct injection project, contrast sharply with Duntov's innovations.
