Matt,

Just watched it. So happy he did that.

Goes to show you you can leave Corvette but Corvette never leaves you lol. Part of the reason I think the ME car will do ok initially then fade

I was thinking maybe used V10 R8 for a while but... I just ordered a Z06 instead...why not get the best of the last FE cars. He might end up MAKING money off of this car aside from the view revenue. .

I think there will be another FE vette although they may call it something else or God forbid the next Camaro lol..

Walking around Carlisle with Shane and Mike furman last year I told them both my feeling about him going toward the exotics and now owning the McLaren.. cool but I think the following he has enjoys the corvettes and trucks more than the McLaren Lambo etc. Content.

Mike is a good guy. (Much smaller in person as everybody is lol) but he's respectful not (too) full of himself and hopefully stays grounded.

Shane is a great dude. You guys have a good thing going on in that neck of the woods!

Best of Luck to both of you.

Thanks for posting Matt, its great to see Mike back in the ZR1. You can feel the excitement and it just feels right with a vette on his channel. As awesome as the 570 and the 720s were, nothing makes me feel more pumped than a vette.

Congrats to all - great to see it worked out.
I'm very jealous of Mike as he seems to go thru a lot of toys. Going out on a limb here and just guessing no wife, no kids?

Deb, no disrespect but I don't think this one is click bait. While I admit his videos can be click bait which he does admit from time to time, you have not seen click bait in its full form as yet. There are other youtubers who take it to the very extreme. Mike is a cool guy, car guy, vette guy!

Mad ummmmmmm why you all think someone is mad because we don’t care for something?
Who really paid for his cars ............
This is Corvette Forum, if I wanted ridiculous vids I’d hit up Youbtube. If this is so great for the brand why did he get rid of the others and so quick?

Just a guess but maybe he thought he was "above" the Corvette crowd. Ya kno when ya head blows up a bit and then you come back to earth for some reason.

Mad may have been wrong description. How about annoyed lol.. of all the youtubers with car content and some questionable content he is not all that bad.

YouTube has taken up about 90% of my TV viewing. Love it cars, other reality adventures etc. Its awesome you should give it a chance. These people (goofy as they may be corny whatever, they grown on you).

Ill take a more in depth look at YouTube, any content you recommend? In my old age I don’t have the attention span for anything that takes forever to get to the point. Hopefully Mr S-Speed has realized the ZR is better than those “other” cars h
