Hmmm...Eco mode...did I understand him to say it was running 1250 rpm at 60 in 4 cyl mode?
Gawd, how low can you go?

The Track Mode snarling beast with least restriction @ 6:40. Great video...he did what we have all really wanted to do and that is get behind the wheel and take it down a great road. Fantastic.

while I appreciate the coverage of the C7 via C&D... about half the video is with the camera facing the reviewer.

It's about the car... and not about the reviewer getting face-time
