You know this is a special event when Jay isn't wearing denim.
My exact thought word for word lol
That's his sleepwear.
I was about to write that! :-)
should have worn white pants with that shirt
im sure GM is paying Jay to show up and fluff the Corvette.. so he ditched the jeans
Mid-engine Corvette, Jay Leno not wearing denim... What is happening to the world?!?!
brenovsky what’s next? Cats and dogs getting along?
@@jimmy999-z2j Mass Hysteria!
His hair was perfect. 😨
They will find bigfoot next week

One small step for Chevy. One GIANT leap for Jays wardrobe.
I met Jay at a bookstore in Burbank the way he is on TV is exactly how he is in person. Super nice guy
I met him too in Manhattan beach where he does stand up comedy. Super friendly and outgoing, cracking jokes, taking pics. Lovable, humble guy.
100% agree with you.
I met him in the grove in Los Angeles got a picture too he’s a g
Trucking with Robert, I’ve never met him. But a car buddy sold him a car about 15 years ago. I guess he still sends him photos occasionally! Pretty cool!
Not only a nice guy but a role model to follow.
All that performance and technology for $60k....then why the hell does a pickup truck cost so much!
Because profit. Seriously though, they likely make fairly small margins on this thing but it won't matter because its so much lower volume than trucks.
@Trigger Troll True, but trucks and luxury SUVs have the highest profit margins.
Because people pay for them!
Dealers will mark up the prices like crazy
Because...murika
Chevy production team: "Only $60k!"
Dealers: "Yeah, best I can do is $100k."
not true everywhere.. the dealer group I work for is selling them at MSRP, no added markup.
I have always found that to be the case. I would never expect to get one for anything near $60K
Got z06 in 2007 only with 2k markup just look around
David Sanchez had purhased a secondhand c5 from him then became friends he just hooked me up. No sultan here :)
Landers McCarty in Huntsville Alabama ... is telling me they will not be able to get me one just the stingrays for less than 89500.. I told them that mark up is nonsense. What can I expect I was going to by a Camaro 2ss with the track pack in black the window stick was 42k to even start they gave me a price of 61k nope not them... I'll go to nashville or Birmingham. First.
Congrats to Corvette as it accomplished what new NSX should have done. Affordable mid engine sports car !
AND it has a V8. They made a Corvette without compromises and are selling it for low 60s out the door. I bet it performs similar to the NSX for what.. less than half the price?
totally agree. I think Acura got greedy after seeing what Ford did to pricing on GT. Frankly its the only thing wrong with an Acura...the price
@@tjmoneybags acura is actually best bang for buck it beats most of the overpriced supercars for a price range of 150k

60k. Unbelievable. I mean why bother with a mustang, nismo, supra etc:
Won't be seeing this at MSRP for quit a while or until the ZO6 version comes out.
The only reasonable reason to pick another car, is simply because others are picking this. I would still pick a tesla over this
Richard Race a Tesla?!? Sure they are quick, but have the soul of a washing machine...
@@richardrace237 Surely you jest....lol
Rolly Polly I mean, I would definitely drive the vette- but aTesla fits my all purpose needs better.
I would have more of need for the Tesla, and the vette would be something I Would look to as a weekend driver.
Even if the vette was faster, which it is faster than the model 3.... the speed isn’t as much of a requirement on a day to day basis as the other factors.
That’s not luggage space, it’s twin turbo space.

You stole my comment!!! Grrrrr...
Lots of room for the supercharger off the Z06

Denim, but the man is worth over 400 M, so he's bound to have the best threads :)
Neither
anthony Steele i know, right? Almost didn’t recognize him, damn!
When Jay, decides to not wait until Sunday you know it's important.
I didn't like car. Where is AWD Vette?
To me it was the no denim.
Holy moley this car both looks good and appears to be a winner.
GM paid him to upload before wall street closes
It looks a lot like the Ford GT at a fraction of the price. I wish Ford would build a cheaper version of the Ford GT that many can afford but this car here is definitely a winner. It will the 2nd American supercar in less than 2 years and they will sell a ton of these. Tell me Americans can't build supercars.
Lol "most cars in this price range have a 4 or 5 speed automatic" .... Jay it isn't 2001

One of the things about autism is the inability to understand human emotion. Humor is one of those traits that autistic people some times will misunderstand in regards to human interactions.
People should always be proud and keep their head high. No matter what.
Leno seemed very old in this video, maybe he is suffering from health issues, he thought the engine lid was aluminum, and as you mentioned the 4 or 5 speed automatic comment.
There is no better ambassador for America’s most iconic car and its proudest automotive creation than Jay Leno.
I think the Mustang would be America's most iconic car tbh. But Corvette is giving it a run for its money now. Chevy is killing it. ZR2, new Silverado, new HD, Buicks are looking good, etc. And I think the new Sierra is the best looking '19 truck.
Richard Hammond
Rajkiran Natarajan - Elon Musk & Frank Holtzheim are America’s BEST American car Ambassador.
That would be the race cars of Carol Shelby and AJ Foyt. A/C Cobras and the legendary FORD GT. They have the historic wins, what has corvette ever done? They did nothing in the Golden Era Of Auto Racing!
@@Oozywolf
It's definitely the Mustang. It started the Pony Car Revolution and it's a great seller that has been produced every year since its inception in 1964. The mid 70's however were terrible for the Mustang, but all cars were terrible by the big three then.
This the first time I’ve seen jay Leno without his usual blue jeans and blue shirt
You've never watched the tonight show?
Is that a crease in his pants?
The good ol' Canadian Tuxedo
That's the first thing I said
Get out more
Not bad for a Jay Leno impersonator but could be better. One word of advice, denim
Sadly, that will be true for a while. Greedy farging dealers.....
clone
Funny how it strikes you when he's not wearing denim!
Note the Head is 2X normal size ... this can NOT be faked, .... don't fall for the denim red herring!
god damn, i knew there was something off
This looks more like a classic NSX then the actual new NSX -😂
Than
Not at all.
this is what the new NSX should have been, and the price is certainly right... RIP new NSX
AND it's priced like one too. Kudos to Chevy
And i bet its quicker around a track too. Its a great time to be a GM guy :)

Jay had to ditch the Ford blue attire for this GM commercial. He will be one of the first buyers along with Rick Hendrick.
Dex Wolfe blah blah blah 🤡circus in town
From a European piont of view, if they have good build quality and the suspension dynamics about right at that price they are going to sell by the truck load. There will also be a massive aftermarket industry built up around this truly stunning looking American sports car
I'm eyeing swapping my Porsche for one of these...the one thing I want is that engine...finally in the right spot. While I love my porsche, those GM blocks are put into everything imaginable because they are dead reliable and you can add SO much reliable horsepower out of them.
I am also from Europe. If this thing would be made in Europe, it would have a ludicrously short manufacturers warranty, would be wholly unreliable, and would cost 300 to 500 % as much as the '20 'Vette Stingray would cost. But hey, it would be a Euro-car, yeah. That fact alone is worth any price surcharge and ownership inconvenience, no?
Frank Farago would be over complicated from a mechanical point of view. Also made of exotic (read expensive) materials. Not the way Americans waist their time
@@frankfarago2825 actually my Porsche has an excellent warranty one of the reasons I got it, but the flipside is you NEED it.
Honestly, I think they'll be too big for European streets. They won't be overly practical.
First attainable corvette that doesn’t look attainable - well done!
Meh, inspire nothing in me. I'd rather have a C5 Z06. I can have tons of money extra for mods and track day rubber.
Well put

$60k? Aluminum frame With a dual-clutch. Impressive.
Most impressive
But it's mostly fiberglass with bits of carbon fiber so that's why it's 60k the other supercars are basically all carbon
@@DGaines92 excellent choice of materials for road use
Let’s see what Chevy dealers do with that msrp. At least initially.
@@Josh-sw6ol I wasn't trying to say its a bad thing, I was just saying that's where one of the cost saving was
For the dollar this Corvette cannot be beat by anything right now. They literally need to make millions of them
They won't the only reason the price is so low is because the car is such junk
pontiacGXPfan you do not speak out of knowledge. You clearly know nothing about anything.
@@oseanpower I know gm's history. You aren't getting a faux-vette for that price. It's like mixing stagnated pond water with raw sewage
pontiacGXPfan Unfortunately every manufacturer uses plastic parts for that fail. The engineers design them that way. You speak so poorly of the C8 when I’m sure you haven’t seen or driven one. I built show cars for electronic manufacturers for 35 years. I have driven, torn apart and redesigned just about everything ever made. And although we can’t bring back any of my beloved microbuses. I can assure you that the C8 bargain is going to continue to blow the minds of buyers once they drive down the road and start comparing what else they could have bought for this price range.
@@oseanpower because i remember the Vette not being a cheap, cynical copycat
Car buyer: I would like to buy a NSX..
Acura salesman: That will be $157,500 dollars.
Car buyer: I'll give you 60k
Acura salesman: Damn you C8
cant you ACTUALLY buy an NSX for that right now with how poor they sold?
Judging by how guys like Leno and Harris absolutely raved about the NSX, I doubt it. Maybe if they put hybrid tech on the Vet ...
Both are beautiful in my opinion. Love the new NSX, and this is pretty sweet too.
This Corvette (minus the V8) is really what the NSX should have been!
cafe80s well that was rude
@@cafe80s Stripped down and simple? Especially technologically? Not to mention downgraded in looks from the previous generation.. I do agree in some ways, the whole complex, ultra-high tech AWD drivetrain and high curb weight that came with the NSX didn't seem right for the "Purist" NSX namesake. Should've been a bit more raw and drawn more aesthetically from its predecessors. The newer NSX was very unique though if you were willing to look the other way from the Purist roots, and it was way ahead of its time technologically. And all that tech costs $$. The sub-60k price tag for the Vette was surprising, but overall it's a bit disappointing and lackluster amongst its fleet. It won't be easy to drive like the NSX, and it won't compare to other current Midship RWD supercars in the corners. But then again, that's never been the Vette's forte and it has always prided itself as an affordable alternative. We'll see when they drop a ZR-1 type track-oriented poster car version in the upcoming years though..

There’s not a stealership anywhere in America that’s gonna let you drive away with one of those for anywhere near 60k. Not for a long time. They’re gonna “market value” those cars to the sky.
They’ll cost 90K optioned out anyway.
Yep! I agree with the 90k comment. No way this car will be msrp of 60k.

How tf are they selling mid engine car with dual clutch, aluminum frame, and those performance numbers for 60K? In 7 minutes and 45 seconds I've lost all interest in the Lexus RCF.
Matty D they aren't, Chevy dealers will mark it up 20k at least. Plus you'll need to add on packages. It's a 90-100k car when it's all said and done. Z06 will assuredly be over $100k
keelay the z06 is a whole different car. I think the base corvette shown in the video is maxed out at 70k with options. Still the best bang for buck. Anything under 150k
They all cost that, the rest is brand value added.
My question is why did you have any interest in the Lexus RCF at all?
Conor I think you’re being hyperbolic. It’s definitely not as fast as it’s competitors but it’s the only naturally aspirated option. So if you prefer a more Motorsport feel, it’s great. Although it’s worth noting the RCF is build on the last gen IS platform. So I personally think the GSF is a much better representation of Lexus’ F performance cars. But to call either of them “obscenely slow” is objectively unfair.
Just what I've always wanted.... Luggage space.
Looks like we know where the twin turbos are going...
Hell yea buddy! Cant wait to see people start modding these into 1000+ hp beasts
Actually, luggage space is pretty useful if your sports car is also your daily driver. I had a ‘97 Supra Turbo which I daily drove for 16 years, and it had about 25 cubic feet of space with the seats down. More if you were willing to drive around with the hatch held down with bungee cord. I moved some furniture that way.

It's nuts, this just feels a big of a bomb as when the US dropped two show stoppers over Japan.... Plus this guy might be going there since it'll be available in RHD. Watch out GTR and NSX.
Problem is the GT is 500000 dollars and you cant buy one.
Russ mt And it has 3.5 littler V6 that that came from Ford sedans. They didn’t even have the guts to increase the block size and they charge 500k. Now they have a track only GT that you can’t drive on the road that actually makes 700hp buy it will cost 1.2 million. The only way to test drive one is on Fronza on XBOX 🤣🤣🤣
Ford GT is "your choice of car"? What? You will never have one buddy, they only sell them to very particular people and at 500k for a TTV6.... You could get this mid-engine vette for 1/8 of a ford gt, and get even better performance by just installing a supercharger on the thing.

Tryksta 724 well it's a Chevrolet, so it's really never going to be anything amazing. The corvette had its day. I think what they should've done instead of succumbing to the layout of lambos, ferarris, mclarens and the like is gone for a retro approach to the design similar to what the challenger, Camaro and mustang did about 10 years ago now. They'll still have their target demographic covered and won't have the shameful attempt at a complete overhaul tainting the corvette name. Everyone already knows the best corvettes have already been made so there's no shame in reaching into history for design ideas.
@@lKingRichardl We've seen mixes of that with some concept vehicles (the one used in TransFormers comes to mind with the rear split window), but I agree. These are looking too exotic now almost indistinguishable from Ferraris.

Sam Stanton only for reference. Because of the demand this cars will retail for nothing less than 75000.
samuraifugitivo you can order it directly from Chevy without markup.
And dealers will only get away with markup for a little while. It’s going to be a mass produced car just like all other Corvettes. Eventually there will be too many to mark them up. That’s the best part of the Corvette.

You won't be able to pick one of these up new for $60k for several months after release. And even then, it'll be pretty stripped down.

Orbit Ratt. This is going to perform better than both of those cars
@@kevindavis5966 True and they won't produce many that have a window sticker of 59,950,. They just want to be able to use that figure, and that's ok. It's pretty damn impressive. I assume, if one desires, they can go to a dealer and order a car with NO OPTIONS that will sticker for under 60k. However, I imagine the delivery time for that car will be mid-2020. There will be a price increase for the 2021 model year, along with improvements, and most likely more engine options, GrandSport, Z06, etc. and that's all good. I can't wait to see the GrandSport equivalent of this car. I know it will be around 100k with the desirable options, but it should be great.
You will never see one for $60K.

Nah, he's a penny-pincher for a filthy stinkin rich guy. He'll wait for the Z06 and buy it used, haha!
no you're not
Rick Hendrick already has a blank check for it and in the memo it says “C8 Corvette VIN #1”
Every 50yr old guy in Florida going through a mid life crisis is going to have a blue one sitting in their driveway
Yup. And everyone of them will talk endlessly about how much like a Ferrari it is.
While the old Corvette would always make you a target of Ian Ziering jokes, this will just make you "the" joke.
Agreed but it's not always a mid life crisis. For most it's when they can finally afford their dream car.
Id be 50 with an orange out running it around somewhere.
God forbid older people buy nice things for themselves. Only young people can gatekeep and enjoy this sort of stuff, right? I bet most 50 year olds who buy a Corvette do so because they finally have the financial stability and freedom to do so.
@@Saru-yr3qk they're them same jerkoffs who think older people shouldn't listen to rock n'roll . They were a squirt in their grandmoms eye when I started listening.
The C-8 is a grand slam.Beautifully styled car.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Looks like my Fiero grew up into a proper car.
I was looking for a fellow Fiero nerd 😂
Looks NOTHING like any friggen Fiero
@@kevinwilliams2275 it's pretty much a new Fiero, let's be real.
Sir Hutchinson a Fiero with one of those ugly fake Ferrari body kits.
I am not a Corvette guy. However I can see this car turning people into Corvette guys. Well done.
Kevin McMullen I am not a corvette guy. But I’m a corvette guy now.
I always thought of the Corvette as the "creepy middle aged-old guy car", but this new model is different. I am going to give this car a serious look.
Always liked corvettes, this just converted me into a fan. It's new, refreshing, great design and power at a great price point. Im sold Jack!
Me too. Now I want one. Will get second job now
If I had any money I'd by one, and I always disliked corveettes immensely

Golf clubs...they know their customer lol
One customer category. Another might be looking at the trunk and thinking.. short block you say? I don't play golf, but might be space to replace the LT2 with something bigger, louder, faster. Or just turbos. Seeing this view makes me think that trunk space, plus a nice, large and potentially moddable rear deck/cover could make custom versions a lot of fun.
It looks like an odd mix between the new Acura NSX and the new Ford GT.
Anony Moose and a mclaren
i see ferrari 458
It really does look like the NSX
mclaren mp4-12c ?
Ferrari F12 headlights, Nsx and Ford GT body lines with a McLaren roofline
If you've been following Corvette at all... this is truly historic and awesome. Shocking and awesome.
Should have named it Zora!
Marshall Fischer I believe they named one of the mid-80-90s prototypes that? They definitely should’ve named this one Zora since it was his original concept
I totally agree! Maybe the hot version will be called Zora
Corvette or Ferrari?
@@TheOnlyDzk corvette wanted to go mid engine a like a decade or more before ferrari..
"Most cars in this price range have a torque converter with an old fashioned 4 or 5 speed automatc."
WTF😂😂It's 2019 not 2004.
That is exactly what I was thinking. Hell my old 09 Jetta Sportwagen had direct injection, a turbo, and a 6sp dual clutch...
My Stinger GT is half the cost and has an 8 speed.
@@soonerstingergtrwd2906 Nice car! I also drive a Stinger gt. 2019 awd ceramic silver.🙂
Dustin Paramore not for American cars tho.
There was a time where dual clutch transmissions were more common, but it seems like all the new affordable cars have gone back to torque converter+planetary gear setup, like a 4-speed, just with more gears (that's what Jay means) or CVT.
Donut media got this same car next after Jay. Their video (on UA-cam) is a lot more informative and entertaining. Still love Jay.
Thank you for that recommendation! They have a new subscriber. Jay is cool but it gets cringey when he talks over his guests. I wanted to hear what this guy had to say about the door sills but Jay steamrolled right over him. He needs friends that keep him grounded and point out when he's rude.
I think you have to view this in the context of the full version of the episode on CNN. Naturally this was only a promo for the upcoming season of Jay Leno's Garage. Unfortunately, shows on TV are just not the same, even this show. Which is why I'm thankful that Jay kept producing videos for UA-cam as there's simply no comparison. The CNN version of the show, while much better than other car shows, still feels like every other highly polished show. There's something to be said about minimal edits and leaving little mistakes in here and there. It makes the show feel more natural, as if the presenter is talking directly to the viewer. This is why digital media is conquering television right now. It's the Authenticity that makes all the difference.
Jay, where's your denim? You look uncomfortable, but great car
Thats the first thing I noticed, Jay is all dressed up, and wearing the Rolex too :)
He didn't just look uncomfortable, he looked like he was kinda gimpy.
@@b-radg916 Jays a classy guy, doesn't need to show off his wealth, he's just here to show off the cars which I appreciate. Dress of the occasion. I also appreciate the quality of his videos, no doubt perfected from his years of TV. Its like when Will Smith makes a music video, you think it a Movie your watching because the standards are so high.
Caribbean GTR: My comment had nothing to do with Jay's wealth. I think he was moving like he was injured otherwise not doing well.
@@b-radg916 No problem; he's always joking about it though, says he save all the money he would spend on nice clothes and put it in his cars :) All good my friend.
This is what the Fiero should have become after 89.
Time to invest in Aftermarket kits.
Thank you. I like the Fiero back then it was a cool car.
That will LS engine drops in the Fiero nicely.
Thirty years ago. Alot happens in thirty years.
Too bad all it did was light on fire. There are a few built ones with Grand Prix V6’s that are actually quite fast.
This car is beautiful for 60k with almost 500hp Corvette really stepped up their game on this one
I can’t wait to see the Z06 and ZR1. I know a lot of people aren’t big on it, but they’re still making the C7. The ZR1 and even Z06 will probably rival the 458, 570s, and GT3 for a little less money
Dual clutch, under 3 sec 0-60, removable roof. They will sell a bazillion.
@@Dot0011 most people that buy vets are purists that prefer manual transmissions. I would never buy a sports car that was sequential unless it was a f1 car.
@@springwoodslasher79 LMAO! Look at the percentage of manual versus automatic sales for the Corvette in the last decade joker.
@@cgoins1993 lol this base model itself can rival 570s and other supercars
Such a clever strategy by the company. A nice looking mid engine sports car, with this price tag? They’ll pop up like mushrooms! 👏🏼
"let's see what it sounds like".... followed by immediate disappointment.
Sounds like, ummm....nothing.....Borla time.
Hopefully that's quite mode... it has to be, my 09 is way louder stock
BaioWithMayo it is on quiet mode . I’ve seen another video where it sounded louder and way more agressive
BaioWithMayo and here you go ua-cam.com/video/SqKRj4-ckzE/v-deo.html
It sounds like any other LS with short pipes. The sound deadened when he started it. The faster iterations will be better
That guy not wearing a Canadian Tux looks and sounds just like Jay Leno.
What the chances his name is Jay too.
Lol. In Canada we call it a good ol' 'Murican hillbilly tux or Leno tux. Cheers.
I dont get it. I wish I did
Rockmount Stonewashed Denim Shirt No. 0369, perfect for every occasion. Except prime time TV.
@@Weasel.King.Official Watch any other Jay Leno's Garage video, almost always he wears the exact same blue denim shirt & denim pants. This time, he moderately dressed up.
@MrBrenman21 Ford GT is made in Canada. Lots of cars actually. Who cares? 😎
Who is this impostor and what have you done with our denim-loving Jay Leno??
Gorgeous car. I've never wanted a Vette (at least not any past 1970) before but I want one of these. I hope in about 10 years I can get a good deal on one. These will sell like crazy so should depreciate to a attainable price for us poor schmucks lol.
Good luck man, hope you get it!
3:06 - "4 or 5 speed automatic." What year do you think this is, Jay?
Same thing I thought lol
3 speed, with overdrive.
Haven't you heard? Jay Leno is trapped in 1992.
You - "What year do you think this is, Jay?"
Jay - "Lets ask Koenigsegg"
Jay: "I'm glad to hear it doesn't have a power glide."
"let's see what it sounds like!"*can't hear it*
The future looks like it has all the 2019 supras back at the dealerships and traded for one of these.
Pretty much!!
And boxster, cayman sales just tanked. And nobody is going to buy an NSX.
True!
The Supra can be bought in Europe and Asia while the Corvette cannot..

James Calhoun I was thinking the same! 😆
He probably never seen Super Troopers either...😂
He’s wearing vertical stripes to make him appear more lean.
So can it finally be considered a supercar, or does it need the $300K+ pricetag for that title?
My Rx-8 was a supercar (in my heart.) This one can be too. The question is: Will it be able tp plaster my passenger's face into the the glass while making the keychain stick straight out, without breaking my back like the c4? If so.. sign.. me.. up! (I like cushy cars, so sue me. Man I miss my 8.)
only stupid euro fanbois wouldn't call this a supercar.
Has to go 200.
@@bradyspace wait till the zr1 variant come out
bradyspace Most cars with a sub-3s 0-62 can do that, you know.
I'm a Viper guy but this Vette looks pretty cool! Hopefully, you Won't see these on every other corner like you do on most Vettes. Though this is a Big Disappointment with only 495hp/375 torque! :( Great Price though, so you'll probably see A LOT of them on every other corner! :(
so...
chevrolet built what acura should have released as the new NSX?
I was trying to figure out why it looked so damn familiar.
It also got the interior everyone was hoping the new Supra would have.
NSX is still a great car, their only flaw was the lack of weight reduction. Losing maybe a few hundred lbs would've made it an excellent car.
@@LeJunny and overpriced

That engine is going to be a nightmare for every Chevy service tech in America.
I was thinking,2 days to change 6 spark plugs and we will have to remove the engine to get to the other 2 or if you like,we could cut some holes in the fenders to get to them?
TouchéPadre I was thinking the same thing when they popped the trunk?....hood? .... bonnet?? Car does look very cool though coming from a Ford fan
I was thinking the same thing!
The engineer's: looks good on paper..... The service techs are the ones that always get screwed.
@@gerald4027 Not a new thing, I believe around 1969, it was either the Chevelle or Malibu, if it had a 429 engine you had too unbolt the motor mounts and jack up the engine a bit to get the 8th spark plug out.
GM has finally found the formula for sales worldwide
Jon Xenos For the 90s it was the 300ZX, Dodge has dominated the 2000s and 2010s with the R/T, SRT, and Hellcats, and now there's this.
Prius Hunter I’m anxious to see how ford and dodge will respond to the c8
Jon Xenos most of the world is going electric or hybrid. Chevy is building a dinosaur. The Tesla is faster, more comfortable, and cheaper to own. I already have reserved their new crossover. Wake up American automakers, gas is the past.
The formula is COPY A FERRARI !
@@user-rb1yf4he9q it would be funny if the 2021 Vette will be all electric and you are right but sales will come from Asia and Africa who are building infrastructure of the past & unfortunately not the future.....
good price but the design is horrible...thats why the Italians rule the exotic car market.

@@robertadamsmetaldetecting6324 prolly in stealth mode lol
Probably in touring mode or something. I am sure it sounds allot better than that in track mode (or whatever they call it!) At least this was the case with the C7, big difference in sound based on mode you chose!
I understand it was in street mode or whatever.(probably) Every other mid engine car I have seen sounds good in every mode. It is a minor detail with the price tag of the car.
plm2879 i expected it to not sound like much being mid engine this time,but for 60k and he hp you get doesn’t really matter

cant hate on this for 60k it's a steal very nice inside n out
Big Ford fan here, but I must say this new Corvette is easy on the eyes. Who's the guy in khakis?
Right? I have been a Corvette guy my entire life, but I have really been thinking about a GT350. That engine sounds AMAZING. However, after seeing this car, it will be a hard choice. Wouldn't it be awesome if they made this car with the flat plane Ford engine from the GT350 :-).
The newest Mustang GT is right now the best bang for the buck sports/muscle car in the world.
basshead I’m afraid you’re wrong. 60k for 500 horsepower, and more on the way?!?! Beat that, Ford.
+DiscoverAudio Mustang GT 36k for 460HP.
@Magnanimous It does not look exotic, and it is not mid-engine. However, it has something much better than both of those things combined: It's a Mustang. 'Nuff said.
