Default Amelia Island Video - Exterior 360, Startup, Drive Off and more!

This video is from Stingray's appearance at Amelia Island. You get a beautiful 360 degree view, with previous generations of Corvettes in the background; an "in your face" start up with engine revving and exhaust sounds. Also note the backup and brake lights, plus emergency flashers in operation. Enjoy!

A wicked growl when that engine erupts with life!

The Stingray coupe looks fabulous in that gray color. I will not be surprised if this new Corvette sells like crazy, both at home and abroad.

Thanks for the video, live2drive.

It isn't the old timers who are whining. It is the C6 owners of any age who do not like change...I love the car , on a waiting list, I am older then dirt.

After listening to that clip, I'd wager there will be fewer aftermarket exhaust sales to C7 owners than to owners of earlier generations. Nothing shy about that exhaust note...

I really want to hear all the different exhaust sounds you can achieve. I haven't heard anything about this stuff yet. I sure hope it was for real!

Not all C6 owners dislike the C7. Just the ones who do not like change.
The most difficult emotional thing humans have to deal with is change.
My combs and hair brush do not like the fact I do not need them anymore. It is an unwanted change....

That's probably why I own verts. I want to let the wind blow through my hair while I still have some!

I totally agree. Plenty of us old timers who think the C7 is a knockout will be buying one. Many of those highly vocal whiners will be buying one too, after they've done the requisite amount of whining. Nobody listens to them anyway except maybe their poor significant other who can't escape.
