Yes, it does not sound like a big block because it's not a big block, it sounds more like it's singing after about 4,000 RPM and just keeps on going. Not sure I have the hair on my balls to let this thing out like the older Corvettes I've had, was very comfortable in the C5 and even the C6 but not there yet with this C7. Not scary like the '61 but it gets there so much faster and without the road feel of the older Corvettes. |
