Wow - something of a surprise...thanks for posting!
My wife and I spent some time chatting with Dave during our Buyer's Tour in early January - actually the day after the line was shut down early and folks sent home due to parts shortages. That impressed me about Dave, that he would take time to chat with customers/friends, even during that chaos. He had been very helpful in an earlier issue with my ZR1 - a top-knotch kind of guy.
While not surprised he made no mention of his pending decision during our conversation, I was surprised by the common response from Plant & Museum workers when I mentioned him. They all immediately commented on how he was the perfect person for the "bring-up" of C7 production. It was almost as though that was his task - get the plant up & running with the Stingray. So, although it never crossed my mind then, in hindsight it seems that this may have been "the plan" all along.....
