I have only 2 comments to make:

1. This video makes me want my Stingray NOW!!!!

2. It's nice to see the Stingray can be driven dirty in a thunderstorm without melting, seizing or otherwise destroying itself.

:36 to :46, where is that tunnel? That would make one hell of a enclosed area to run a convoy of loud obnoxious Corvette through!!!

no way, that would be a mountain top... that tunnel if it is indeed the Eisenhower tunnel is maybe 5000 at best.

The roadbed is indeed above 11,000 feet. The mountain through which it bores is at least 1500 feet higher at approximately 13,500 feet. It is the Continental Divide.
