Leno is the first "civilian" to drive the new 2023 Corvette (ugh)....however, he lovingly mentions his favorite C5 twice!

I came across a Black C8 Z06 on my way to work on April 26. Talked with the driver briefly at a traffic light.

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Just Hate the big rear wing would get the lower spoiler they offer without Z07 option but I understand the big wings purchase for the track. Car looks so much better than the Stingray C8 much meaner looking!

I have also met him. We talked about Corvettes. It was when he had just got his 2009 ZR1. He gave me 2 VIP tickets to his show taping. I always watch his weekly you tube videos.

His C5 video helped tip me over the edge to get a C5 actually. He's got great taste in cars.
