Can't wait to see the car in person either, but this thread probably belongs in the C7 section of the forum.

For anyone interested, Jay Leno has a new video on the C7.

Go to www.jaylenosgarage.com

Gives you a more down-to-earth review but they didn't actually let him test drive it yet.

Right now, all car forums are C7 forums.......... This rarely happens for any new car unveiling let alone a Corvette. So, we should be proud of GM at this very moment.
