Default C6 Corvette Canyon Run

Just a short video of me taking my corvette through the canyons for the first time. I've owned this sweet thing for 4 months now and I couldn't be happier! Hope you enjoy!

Nice video. Love taking the Vette or Harley on quiet winding roads. Enjoy the C6!

Nice video...thanks for sharing. Part of the thrill must be driving where there are no freakin' guardrails. Your passenger seemed pretty calm when the tail end broke loose a couple of times. Enjoy the ride and be safe.

3rd gear was fun without getting in too much trouble. But I agree, 2nd is a lot funner!

Great vid, it was relaxing & calming to watch. It's nice seeing your wife tolerate your driving, lol, mine would of put a stop to it asking me to slow down once that back end broke lose for a bit.

The beauty of the Vette is that he could go that fast and have that much fun with almost no shifting...that's one huge difference from the Miata.

You are right on the money. It's highway 193. We should go on a drive together sometime.

Kal1, looks fun! That C6 is whisper quiet, you need an exhaust enhancement and air intake!

Great video! Nice road to drive a vette and have some fun. My wife would have definitely freaked when the tail broke loose. Cheers to you're wife.
