Joe, I have had a solid interest in GM's return to electric primarily because one of my side research projects was lending a hand to unraveling the mystery of why no drivetrain 1967 Camaro pilot's were converted to electric.
For the most part I happily stayed in the background for this one but -- boy that turned into a research "rabbit hole" of epic proportions.
Like Echoes however it was a true story that had to be told, and the research had to be completed quickly before the remaining people who were involved were gone.
