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.

He really likes C5. His video about his C5 is very interesting as well.

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.
