That sound. I don't really like it. Doesn't have the deep tone of the 60' and 70's.
The Corsa have on my C6 are not the sound like. The mustangs seem to come
closest. ?? if can find a system for the Corvettes

With the computers you can't hurts the motors. when got the C6 if you
held the throttle down a limiter stepped in. The mechanic at the dealer
tried to do something with a code deal, but he just held it to the floor and only went so
far.

Good information (especially the new stuff that hasn't already been discussed).

Seems like the "host" is going for a "Motorweek / John Davis-type" format. With a bit more "seat time and zaino", he may just get there.

He started them a long time ago, and IIRC his famliy has a small or used dealer lot. He got tied in with a couple of the local dealerships and was doing reviews/ads for their new cars.

I first ran into him a few years back on the Genesis Coupe forum. The reviews seem to have gotten better and looks like by the quantity of videos he's staying busy.

That guy does good work. A great run-through on basic operations, and even some good detail into the electronics. I have a habit of waiting for his signature horn toot. Narration style reminds me of airshow announcers.

If you don't want super loud, and you don't want drone, but you do want a deeper, richer tone, the Callaway system provides it - at least on the C6. And since they are close to releasing the Callaway C7, I bet folks will be able to order their C7 exhaust in the not too distant future if they wanted to just add the exhaust to their standard 7.

My god, Is there that much road noise on the test drive or are the windows open? Seems very noisy.

Corvettes are never really quiet on the road, but I think this case is a hypersensitive microphone amplifying the issue.
