I agree. It also sounded like there were only ten people clapping.

With the debut of the 64 1/2 Mustang it was at the world faire and it can't get any better than that.
The Mustang is the only other car that has lasted long and has a history is why I say that even though they are two different type of cars.

Agreed that it was a very lame intro and at the very least the guy driving it out should've revved it up to let everyone hear what the beast inside sounds like.

They should have introduced it the way John Colleti introduced the Terminator Cobra in 2003. Look it up to see what I'm talking about.

WHEN THE C-6 debuted in the San Francisco Bay area it was at Courtesty Chev. I haven't heard anything in this area.

I've always said.... "****-Retentiveness" is a rarely diagnosed disease which afflicts about 98% of American buisness management. It is insideous, and damaging to real productivity. Drowning the guilt and remorse in alchohol is not even a bandaid for the problem. Most of the people in the audience were probably relatives of ****-retentive upper management trying to get loose at a mixer. The result is subdued enthusiasm. When an **** gets enthusiastic, the knee-jerk reaction to a life of hiding true emotions and the fear of being spanked for soiling your diaper as a child all comes to a crashing emotional avalanche. The process keeps repeating itself. It's really bad.

I agree the red color wasn't the best either. You couldn't see the edges and the edges very well. The dark colors are really the best way to go on this vette. It even makes the rear more awesome looking.
