That's cool, but we are sort of taking his word for it.

For those of you who don't watch this guy on youtube, you're missing out on a great Z06 and a Duramax. As for the new info, I'm really excited for bold colors on the Corvette. Active aero is great news as well. A hybrid powertrain will be interesting considering that the P1, 918, and LaFerarri were all hybrids. I can't wait for the ZR1 to come out. Ed deserves an award for having the most awards lol.

^^ I've watched him a few times, not a fan.

But kudos to him for keeping a rather large audience with his vids..

I couldn't really tell Ed was acknowledging any of those things. It was like 7-11 was putting words in his mouth.

If you enjoy videos that have nothing to do with the title (it's click-bait 99% of the time), then those videos are for you. Don't post that crap on here.

And I believe his info and here is why.

He also said the paint factory will bring long requested colors, namely bright orange and bright green.

When the Grand Sport options were released last year two hash stripe colors stood out to me since they were not available as complete car colors, that being Volcano Orange and Hyper Green. I wondered if that was a hint for 2018 and beyond. Those two stripe colors really don't contrast well with 2017 GS car colors so why were they selected over say, white stripes?

I know a GM engineer that gave me next to no info about the mid-engine car other than 2-3 years out and a lot more expensive and much faster. When asked, he did tell me that he had heard they were looking at adding the bright colors with regards to the new paint factory.

from all spy shots, the rear wing appears to be fixed with perhaps manual adjustments.

Dude, F this guy. Self riotous douche that loves to hear himself talk. His car is the ugliest thing I have ever seen. I probably just got him 100 more views right there, I should shut my mouth. I am not trying to help this guy in any way. Lambo doors, really?

He has no idea how to drive, never been to the track. (Drag strip does not count) and now he's posting videos saying he needs the new zr1 lol.

I generally agree with theplatinumog opinions of this guy, but he did get an interview with Ed Welburn. The interview was interesting, but not conclusive on anything that Street Speed claims. I think it is a pity that the sort of videos this guy does actually sells and makes money.
