I just did

70k is a bit steep for a base vette though. I would never buy one new.

Sliding around corners like a cow on ice? When was the last time you saw an Indy car or NASCAR car drifting corners? It looks cool to the kids and I'll admit it is a lot of fun but it sure isn't the way to set up a car for driving fast and confidently on asphalt. And speaking of having an asphalt...

But I do appreciate the posting. I've viewed it twice and plan to view it again.

Nice, thanks...still on the fence regarding the styling of the C7, I'd like to see them on the road before I make the final call. But all that performance and technology have me thinking I really need to order one NOW!!!

I think your information might be inaccurate. 70k does not buy you a base Vette. Base models will run in the low to mid 50k range (I am not sure how many people will actually buy a base model). 70k on a new coupe will be loaded up with all of the performance and most of the popular options. Not trying to start a flame war, just trying to keep things accurate.

Lots of electronics for gremlins to play in. Next up the self driving corvette no driver skill or input required. So long driving schools.

While 52 is the starting point, it looks like a lot of people are going to hit 65 to 70.

What a fuddy duddy! Every single video says how great the C7 is as a driver's car. Why so sour?

That's where mine ended up, but only because I chose every single option except suede seat inserts. If you take out the cosmetic upgrades and still take the performance upgrades it'll be in the 60s.

Don't worry, I don't get in keyboard wars. Don't think your price is realistic and I know what Chevy says about the entry point price.

Wow, I think from the standpoint of waiting for delivery and wanting to see and know as much as possible, this is probably the best video I've seen yet. I had to freeze it several times to see all the detail as the different dash configurations changed. Lot's to learn to learn about there. I do wish they'd have spent time featuring the HUD and the different configurations there.

I can see my 'one' GoPro camera isn't going to be enough. Oh well, time to graduate to the 3rd Gen anyway so I can operate it remotely .

Great video Also one of the first times we have seen the C7 with the transparent 'glass' roof panel.
