Revving is a waste of fossil fuels and adds to the problem of pollution and global warming.


BTW: I intend to do this a lot.

Still a bad color.
Still needs aftermarket exhaust, but seems to be better than stock C6 exhaust

This is one of the best 'excitement' videos I've seen yet. Then it finishes with several C7's leaving a gas station under throttle. I think I'm going to like my performance exhaust when it arrives. Best watched full screen & lots of sound.

Sounds like Borla might be making this system. Sounds just like the Borls Atak system.

This may be the first car I have owned that I won't install an after market exhaust. That sounds great.

The C7 has grown up, finally a color that isn't the usual Corvette cliche. Exhaust is awesome too.

Sorry I'm going back to Corsa. For the exhaust to open you have to be in track or competition mode. I'd rather have the safety of standard mode then to hear the exhaust. And if it is like the NPP the drone on the freeway is not for me.

On my trip to BG last week I thought I run the exhaust open on the freeway just to see what it does on a trip, had it open maybe 60 secons.

Plus with Corsa I get more HP.
