Is it on line, or will Motor Trend TV or something like that carry the event?

Default Dumb timing

To make a big splash they have it in the evening? All to get the california crowd. Imo should have started 10.am in the morning to get max coverage all day.

I'm actually surprised there's no clear shot of the whole thing yet. Tons of spy shots and renders. But in this day and age - I'm surprised they've successfully kept it secret up to the reveal.

I’m in Central time so 2 hours behind. I’m going to watch unless they spend too much time babbling. (Kind of like many Youtubers. “Quit yammering on and get to the purpose of your video!”)

Won't be trading in my ZR1, but very eager to see the mid engine vette. If I don't fit well in the C7's, I doubt I'll be able to squeeze into a C8. It'll be neat to see a few on the road though.

I have not paid much attention to all the bit of pre-news stuff, so I'll watch. -- I would probably forget, ---- but have Alexa set to remind me!
