    I own a 72 with a modern 350 fuel injected motor 350HP and a 5spd manual. I drive it everyday has air cond, high perf suspension, side pipes and leather. It’s loud as hell and scares small children and dogs. I love it.

    My grandfather had a Corvette Stingray (I think a 1969) in a beautiful cherry red paint job. He used to drive me around in it whenever we'd come to visit, he called it his 'big mean red machine'. A truly brilliant car, such a classic.

It’s not the same feeling. Also the C3 probably generates at least 400 n/m.

    This video really put a smile on my face. I came here after watching some videos of the ZO6 on the autobahn, as it's nice to see those cars being opened up on the highway. Unfortunately, here in the US you can't really do that, well at least not legally...Then I came across this video and had to click on it. You see, my Dad has one of these cars! His is a 1969 with the big block 427 Tri-Power, 4 speed with side pipes. Pretty much the same car as here. I love the fact you took such pleasure in driving this car as I do when I get to drive my Dads! I need to show this video to him the next time I see him, I'm sure he will enjoy it!

    200hp is way bs. This was the rating with all the emission reduction killings they had back then. This thing is obviously "open" with some mods and will make 300-350hp on the crank easily. Great vid btw.

      If it's had a rebuild, is it even possible that it's got a stroker crank in it? If it's actually a 383 then it could be making 400 horses very easily...

    I leave tomorrow to buy my wife her birth year Corvette, a 454, 1970. I'll actually be driving it most of the time. It's a former show car that is in similar color to this one, it's called Candy Black Cherry. It has been on several magazine covers and won 80+ awards but the pain is showing its age as it was custom painted back in 1983. This one has a bit more chrome in the engine bay. You do look a bit "crunched" in the car. I'm lucky, myself and my wife are 5'7". Nice video, I enjoyed it.

    I had a 1971 4 speed coupe like this with a 350/300hp in Bridgehampton blue I bought in 1989 and sold in 1999. It was a fun car to drive. The frame was pretty rusty, so make sure you check the frame out before buying one if your in the market. I had Corvette Fever and I bought the first one I looked at, that was a mistake. I put a lot of money in that car and it still had a rusty frame. I found a great mechanic eventually that owned a repair shop and knew Corvettes inside and out and was a great guy. He had a 66 Corvette coupe with a big block and lived a few blocks from me.

    My favourites are the 1967 and 1969 Corvette coupes..the best looking cars in the world. Forget ferrari lambo etc..these are way better and the best engine anywhere..Corvette V8.

    Worlds best car..Corvette Stingray..The new C8 Corvette mid engine supercar is fantastic..just got car of the year. By the way the telescopic steering wheel has a turning collar you can turn to lock the steering wheel.

    If you hit a tree, and that's not impossible with these road-holding capabilities, your death is immediate without seatbelts and airbag. That BMW at 10:20 did also fell in love with this Vette.

    Nice. A good comparison would be to drive an E-Type Jaguar. Probably more refine, and not as visceral.
