Indeed he did (seem a bit nervous). Might have something to do with the fact they 'they heald a little back" comment made by Tadge in the other video.

I sure hope this was filmed before the NYC Morning Show!! Jay deserves to have been the first person outside of GM to drive the new C7.

You need Jay to tell you what is good or bad?

Even Ed Welburn references the "Gran Turismo" crowd they are trying to entice. I guess everyone over 35 need not apply! He also states the 450/450 numbers without reservation.

I wonder why Ed didn't correct Jay when he said

"six speed gear box obviously" at about the 7 minute 25 second spot.

I thought it was a 7 speed.

This is the current numbers they have released...him saying it doesn't change it. Until its in the brochure, its not official. Everyone can cry about it then. Until that time, every inside indication is, this motor is definitely good for more and will come out making more.

For now, the people on the inside just need to stick to the plan. You can't overstate hp levels only to find it won't get SAE cert or pass emissions or god knows what else. GIVE IT TIME....

I tell you ONE thing...I am hearing weight...weight....weight...weight...sha ved this, hollowed this, trimmed that. I don't see this car being heavier than a C6...I'll be damn surprised.

Yeah there were a couple of 'moments' they probably would liked to have reshot.

In the context of Jay's comment I took it as a very good thing...and I agree...as he states that what he finds exciting is that any little picture you take of it, you'd guess European...$200,000 - $300,000...Ferrari, Lamborghini...in that category.

Great video...love it!!!

I'm not a big fan of red but that one is growing on me. I will go for a Cyber Grey version when I do buy one.

Yeah...kinda sounds like it bottoms out when Jay pulls it off the platform...listen at 11:19. Or maybe it was just loose flooring/ramping on the platform itself.

Yeah, I heard something then. I'm sure Ed would like to edit out a few things but nothing horrible. I'm sure they had very little time to shoot.

At 4:00 I got bored and closed the video...then I read a response to the sound of the exhaust and went back. Seriously? I couldn't hear crap when it was started with the cameraman at the driver side door.

And what's with everyone being on Jay Leno's dxxk?

I am sure there are plenty of "car guys" out there that can speak a little more intelligently.

The C7 release video had so much more appeal than this boring clip.

I'm convinced Ed knows nothing about Corvettes.

The video shots of the interior looked great, much more impresive than the stills, the quality of the materials and finish are much more obvious.
