Good grief, and people say my C4 has a cramped cockpit!

Looks good. The rear end kind of works like that.

Hey gang. Lots of folks taking up bandwidth here, so I’m getting photos to Facebook as well as I can. 

Almost more like a concert than a car launch. 1200-ish people here. 250 journalists, 160 Vette club members, 90 influencers and about 500 dealers plus Chevy folks. 

Whole history of corvette is on display, plus race cars. CERV3 was a nice treat as we await an “official” mid engined corvette. 

General buzz of cautious optimism here. I think everyone is prepared to like the car, but we all want a price. 

Keep an eye on the FB feed. That seems to be the only reliable place I can put photos up at the moment.

We were just warned to stay in our seats during the presentation for our own safety. I think that means tigers.

What I’m getting is we’re not going to get any real face time with this thing yet. This is a zoo. A cool zoo, to be sure, but this is clearly about the hype for the public and not about the details for the press.

Are you considered a journalist or an influencer in your capacity there? Will that change if you streak?

I can not over stress the hype level of some folks here. There’s people around me in the bleachers literally vibrating in their seats.

Kicking it off with astronauts. Not at all subtle.

Is that a 5,000 rpm redline on the tach?  And a friction circle to the right (not what I'd call practical in real time, maybe it's part of a datalogger?  Where do you fire the photon torpedoes?

Just hurry up and yank the engine so I can make my 350Z faster!

No one has said the word Corvette yet. This is a cool presentation, but I’m curious about the segue.

Wow. Very lackluster applause for the pause after the line “like a rocket, the engine is in the BACK.” 

Not sure the crowd is convinced that’s an upgrade.

JG, do they know you’re one of, you know, them? Did you wear your sweet gold chains?

I want to slap the phones out of the hands of everyone who is taking vertical video.

From the front and sides, I dig it. From the back, not so much.

Yeah, can confirm. Front 3/4 is fire. Rear 3/4 is fyrefest.

In reply to spacecadet :

That's what I'm wondering.  I should hope that it is.
