Zora Arkus-Duntov was born 100 years ago today. Known affectionately by enthusiasts as the "Godfather of the Corvette", he is credited with turning around the floundering program by upgrading the Corvette''s power and handling and masterfully creating a balance of performance and value that is still present today. Although he retired from GM in 1975 after 22 years of service, he never left the hearts of the community and was active until his passing in 1996. Today, his ashes and those of his wife Elfi are in a special memorial at the National Corvette Museum.
