Default Very Cool Z Commercial

Has anyone seen the "Corvette - The King Is Back" Z06 commercial yet? Very cool and if this is old and has already been posted, sorry for the dupe.

Forgot to put where I saw it. YouTube. Wouldn't let me copy the link, but it's "Corvette - The King Is Back" with Elvis driving it. Anyway, if it's old, watch or not.

Nice editing. When they show the person shifting, it's from a C5. You can see the old console and heating controls.

I don't know. A dead guy in the dusty desert with no engine noise whatsoever? I'm betting any of us on here could dream up a better spot. Maybe with a little racing heritage thrown in.

Sorry guys, that was just dumb. C5 interior, ...Elvis, no engine sound, in a C6-ZO6 commercial Can we move with the times and maybe have one of the C6-R ace drivers show what the car can really do, and show the interior of the real car

Yeah, how about real shots of the car howling down one of those long straights at the 'Ring, interspersed with some Corvette wins at LeMans mixed with a little cruising past some American landmarks. American heritage, American racing, American icon.

An old dusty dry lake bed is the last location I would have picked. How about an open road somewhere and some noise?
