Thanks! Great!
It really sounded like Jay was schooling him on the new C7 and not the other way around!
Isn't it a 7 speed manual? Jay said 6 and was not corrected my his GM buddy!

This is the current numbers they have released...him saying it doesn't change it. Until its in the brochure, its not official. Everyone can cry about it then. Until that time, every inside indication is, this motor is definitely good for more and will come out making more.
For now, the people on the inside just need to stick to the plan. You can't overstate hp levels only to find it won't get SAE cert or pass emissions or god knows what else. GIVE IT TIME....
I tell you ONE thing...I am hearing weight...weight....weight...weight...sha ved this, hollowed this, trimmed that. I don't see this car being heavier than a C6...I'll be damn surprised.

Thanks for the video link. I liked it a lot. Also I really like the wheels,first time I've paid attention to the wheels in a video. would be perfect if someone or Chevy comes out with a version with a large lip in resr/ smaller lip in front.

That video makes me want one even more! I agree with Jay that the C7 is sexy and has some European look. After all, I like the way a Ferrari or Aston Martin look, so why would I mind a little bit of European influence. Even with that influence, it still looks all Corvette to me.

At 4:00 I got bored and closed the video...then I read a response to the sound of the exhaust and went back. Seriously? I couldn't hear crap when it was started with the cameraman at the driver side door.
And what's with everyone being on Jay Leno's dxxk?
I am sure there are plenty of "car guys" out there that can speak a little more intelligently.
The C7 release video had so much more appeal than this boring clip.

I hope youre right but it's been stated by engineers that it will be slightly heavier then the c6. I think it will be around the grand sport weight. I believe the lt1 is heavier then the ls3 because of emission standards. The c7 also got a heavier torque tube because it is now made out of a heavier metal. The materials in the interior will probably weigh more besides the seats. It is slightly wider and longer then the base c6. New saftey standards increase weight, and more insulation for reduced noise in cabin will add weight.

To be honest, I think Ed Welburn seemed to be a little annoyed with Leno by that point. Leno was doing a lot of chattering, but it was obvious he hadn't really done any homework on the car prior to doing this shoot. I think Mr. Welburn just decided to "let it go". Besides, Leno is car guy that likes Corvettes, but I don't think he's a Corvette guy so much.
