Default Check out this corvette

I just came across this video on youtube of a yellow c5. It's definetly different. Thought I would share. Though I don't understand a word these guys are saying... This thing does sound mean!!! Interior looks nicely done too. It has a front bumper I have never seen before.

Though this video shows that it is over 26 minutes long, the Corvette part is just the first twelve minutes, so it is well worth the watch.

The language sounds Scandinavian or of some Germanic origin.

Anyway, that's one bada$$ Corvette!

Great looking car... I'd say it would look better in any other color other than yellow. That's my own personal opinion. It looked like an automatic as well, which is great for drag racing, but wouldn't think it would be as fun on the track. (Notice I didn't say as good, just as fun

Thanks for the video, it was a good one.

Have you all noticed that behind those huge openings are the intercoolers? Thought that was a great touch.

I'm not sold on the front bumper (looks to much like a Ferrari), but the rest of the car looks great and it does sound badazz.

I was on the fence about that bumper. The green stealh looks great too. Besides the probably 500 pounds of stereo.
