I love how excited Tadge Juechter is when talking about the C7. It's good to see car enthusiast running GM!

This is the best car for the money and a lot of you don't like to admit it. I'm sold.

Thank you TFL and Chevy! Great presentation and interview.

I love how you guys did this video long, packed with information. But not boring great job guys.

Great coverage. Thx for the upload!

Great video guys, glad to see this car in and out!

I love the back end

This was a great review/video. I'm glad to see someone go so in depth with a new car, and talk to the lead engineers...... guess what, "The Fast Lane Car" has a new subscriber :)

It was a but long but watched it to the end!! Nice job!! Thanks!

Great video!

Very nice can't wait to get one.

Nice job, you and Tadge seem to have genuine chemistry together. He seems to like you and respect you and does not seem bored like he is talking and saying the same thing to the 100th journalist.

Looking forward to Z06! Thank you Chevy and Fast Lane Daily!

wow, just great video period...like no other

Excellent/lots of info in one video.

Thanks, we figured that a new Vette only comes along every 10 years or so and there's probably lots of people who are interested in the car and the car's development from the head engineer.

The chiseled design and improved performance of the Stingray are exactly what was needed to invigorate the Corvette brand. Good video!

I have a white/red 2014 convertible Vette...Its the best car I've ever owned! My two biggest concerns about buying a Vette end up being the two things I may like the most.Great variable suspension!Great gas economy in ECO mode!

Really awesome car the new Corvette C7 Stingray :-)

I'm definitely in love with this car.

Great interview, I have gained even more respect for American engineering! I will have a Vett as my retirement car!

THIS CAR IS INCREDIBLE!

The Corvette is a mid engine front mount. The engine is between the axles. It's been that way for a while now, the C4 maybe the last true front engine Corvette

I love hearing Tadge Juechter speak, he's so intelligent and passionate! :)

This video deserves about 10 million more views. What a comprehensive amount of information. Anyone wanna buy a kidney? I need a C7 Vette.

Can't wait for the new 'ZR1' and 'Z06' configurations!

this is my new dream car!

awesome car.

I can't wait to see what it runs in 2015 with the 8 speed auto(8L90)

What about the leg room difference of the C6 vs C7? Did you fix that?

The greatest performance bargain in the world has just widened it's already substantial lead over the competition. Carbon Fiber, tech, lightness, great materials and 68 grand

I can't wait till the C7 ZR1 is out. I am VERY eager to see the performance on that bad-boy.

the whole thing seems very well put together the only thing on my mind now is Top speed

I think they should have done angular polygonal exhaust tips to match the rear lights. Kept it part of a whole piece like on some Lamborghini's It would limit after markets muffler options though.

My favorite car!

Brutal corvette, louco!!!

i like gt-r's but the c7 with turbo and nos tune will be a fearless beast on the street

Corvette 0-60 3.9, figure 8 23.9 at .82 g's, skidpad 1.11 g's, horsepower 460, mpg 29. Boxster 0-60 4.2, figure 8 24.6 at .81 g's, skidpad n/a, horsepower 315, mpg 28

Interesting and informative video. But some of the comments are beyond infantile.

Mid engine is when the engine is behind the front/rear centerline of the car but ahead of the rear axle line.

Not what you mean but I think the C7 is like my FD with the engine behind the front wheels centers which is mid engine. They tested one in the 70 with a V8 and GM's massive rotary.

The part at 21:00 is repeating a clip already used earlier on... either way, cool video

I would b totally OK with the tail lights if the tear drop effect could be minimized by painting the extractors the same color as the body. . .

True .. ♥

Great video! And a nice guy, really knows the car inside & out. I have a ZR1 that I'm in love with. I'm not crazy about the looks of this car. The rear facia especially. But I am interested in the electronic diff integrated into the suspension. This is the same equipment that way more expensive cars use. I'd like to get a look at an LT1 block. I don't see myself deactivating cylinders to often.

I want one!!! When does it come out already, geeze it's "driving" me crazy

What is a "mid engine front mount"? Did you just make that up??

I just had to laugh at "Gearing: Standard" at 23:50 lol. I know what they meant but it just reads funny

This car is a real trip to drive and now I know why... 4:36, forth one down

I wish I had a c7 stingray z51

corvette monster

They figure that the EPA ratings tend to overstate fuel economy bad enough as it is. That number is really a fleet rating number and it wouldn't be accurate to score the fleet based on what it could do if everyone were driving around in ECO mode.

I tip my hat off. lot's of blood and sweat in terms of engineering as well as lot's of work with accounting and many other department's. this was a love dream made into reality a game changer with so much work in terms of material engineering fluid dynamics and weigt management. this car is top level and stands' toe to toe with any car porshe ferrari and skips past bmw and audi. I am not a gm fan but repect any brand that makes a good car and this car is a gift at 120k net alone one with the z51 package and a few upgrades for just 60k. 5k more than a bmw 335i for a way better more in line with a 911s pdk shich the vette beats and smokes a 911 manual. I am proud to see gm do this now tricle this effort to other cars like the malibu and not just cadilac and u will dominate.

also the c7 handles super for a FR car.also with mild tuning the c7 will be fast.

Clint Eastwood of Corvette.

Another typo at 23:25 45 *mm mono-tube shocks. Come on, guys, the C7 deserves more than this.

so you passed on V8 thunder for a hair dryer?

I've loved all my corvettes. I hope ditching the signature "round" tail lights don't ruin the appeal of vette's look (again) like the ugly rounded square tail lights if the 90's.

I can get a fully loaded corvette for the price of a moderate Cayman S...I love Porsche but the vette is true value of sports car

Usually Corvette and Viper just focused on performance and not luxury. Notice both Vetts and Vipers are increasing luxury. Good thing they already have the performance down. Poor Ferrari had such bad performance they had to use General Motors MRC they designed for Cadillac's traction and suspension!

Delphi developed the magnetorheological suspension while it was not even a part of GM. Yeah keep on boasting about the same thing over and over again like everybody else. Just think about how many innovations the Americans use in their cars that were developed by European companies. The ZR1 uses the same carbon-ceramic brakes that the 11-year-old Ferrari Enzo has. The modern automobile itself was invented by Karl Benz, a German. If it wasn't for Europe, you'd still be riding horses.

thatabu Well, the 2003 Corvette 50th anniversary edition came out in 2003. And it had the MSRC shocks. According to the article at www.forbes.com/sites/joannmuller/2011/03/31/gms-divorce-from-delphi-is-final/ Delphi was still part of them in 2003. GM owned. I used to work for GM.

The point is, the endless bragging about MagneRide is getting ridiculous proportions. It's as if you guys invented the wheel. There are tons and tons of stuff patented in Europe that are used in American vehicles. Most innovations in road cars have in fact been introduced in F1 first. As we all know, there is not a single American team in that motorsport.

NOT EVERYTHING! I`m 6.4 feet high (195 cm) and i want to know, will i feet nicely in this car?

born and raised in the US but I like imports much better.

i wish they put a dual clutch automatic in the c7

Do this new vettes still have that not so high tech leaf spring in the rear suspension?!

A little more what?? Can't wait to read this response...

I love American cars!

componentry is not a word...

Just wait for a head to head video where the Vette smashes a boxter. I've seen the video you posted before, and the reason the times are so slow is because there is no traction. Any car will be slow 0-60 if you're spinning the tired for 20 feet. GM posted times are under ideal conditions, as are any other manufacturer's 0-60 times.

Dear Santa...

Did you end up with a face full of baby batter?

Agreed, why would anyone buy a piece of crap Boxster or even Cayman for that matter when they are essentially the same price and new Corvette severely outclasses them in almost every way.

Wow, at just 1000rpm, you're already getting 300lbs of torque! 20:50 minutes.

Concerning the lowering of the drivetrain warranty from 100K mi.'s to only 60K miles.....WHY??????????

I grew up with Corvettes. I now drive Porsche's. That says it all.

I see... So.. You passed on V8 thunder for a hair Dryer?

1. I do not like electric steering. 2. I wonder if Chevy will ever build a mid-engine Vette? 3. how much will jeremy clarkson hate this car?

He didn't buy one he liked it in america but when he got it over hear he said it was a holiday romance and the audi r8 was alot better.

Carbon fiber is great for weight savings and strength. But I've always found it ugly to look at.

About time GM did something about those pathetic corvette seats. Wow what were they thinking all these years...

9 likes 0 dislikes! way to go vette

There isn't one thing I would change but the PRICE :)

Hmm, considering the Stingray costs $51,000, and the XKR-S at $174,895, yeah i'm pretty sure it is! Obviously a car that costs more is the better one. Compare a car to the Stingray that is in the same price range, then we will talk.

I don't get it, I thought they said the convertible was coming out a year later, Jay Leno has one, I'm thinking about replacing my current 4th Gen Z28 Camaro Convertible with it since they are the same style... don't care for the new Camaro Convertibles

Typo at 18:39. As much torque *as.

yes, he is right. and you are the tool, he said for turn in which is exactly why dynamic diffs are installed in sports cars.

And it lost at Laguna Seca to the outgoing C6 Vette that had the same hp and torque.

Z51 all the way.

Corvette c7 is a beast with make up on

All the people who chose thumbs down, thank you , I'll gladly take the new Corvette you don't want! More for us!

The C4 is reborn! LT1, digital gauges, square(ish) taillights...

but still give me the robot looking gt-r all the time.

At least you'll only see the back from what your driving...

and the money??

Didn't we all? :D

Now all it needs is a TURBO!!!!!!

WTH don't they let them test the car in eco mode?

32 other car manufactures have been here.

Yeah Jeremy Clarkson hated this car so much that he bought one and promptly chose it as the TOP GEAR car of the year (ZR1).

Z51 should be standard.
