It's definitely done the rounds here on the forum, but doesn't hurt to post it again for those who haven't seen it.

A good promo for a new car, plenty of build-up and anticipation!

Cool video. Thanks for posting.
Do you forum members think there was more excitement/anticipation when the C5 was first introduced or the C7? Both seem to have been totally new "from the ground up" cars.

I never get tired of seeing that video. LOL

From my perspective the hype for the C7 was more than the C5. As the corvette has evolved, so has the internet which has made it easier for the "common" folk to access more information, faster.

Although I get hyped for any vette. LOL I almost got out of my vette and yelled at C6 owner that was at a Jiffy Lube the other night.

Only reason I saw it was because it's next to Wendy's.

Did you get it at the Chevy dealer there? The reason I ask that is because the owner has a few hotrods that he keeps and works on there. A real nice guy. I think he owns the dealership just to have a place to work on his hotrods!

IDK about hype...but the C5 was when the Corvette turned in to a street legal race car.

Everything after that has just been building on that model.

No, I got it in Boise...The local dealer recently sold out to the local conglomerate (MH Auto Ranch)...I think he must be retiring. Surprisingly he never had any Vettes, must of have been just too small.
