A Corvette engineering team is in Sedona, Arizona testing the new C8 Corvette Z06 and this video clip was provided to the MidEngineCorvetteForum.com from a member that allows us to get a listen to the sound from the center-mounted exhaust.
In many ways, the 1973 Stingray is a unique Corvette.
It is, for example, the only C3 to come with a chrome rear bumper and a urethane molded front bumper as Chevy was answering the federal mandate for 5 mph bumpers in a two-stage process. The ’74, of course, is the first Corvette with rubber bumpers front and rear.

While we could argue that point, the car does have some chunky angles and is a touch dowdy in certain colors with the factory wheels.
Even though it’s still rare to spot a new mid-engine Stingray on the road, we all want our cars to be more distinctive than the next guy’s.

So we all know how great the new mid-engine Corvette is when it’s brand new, but will it prove to be reliable and hold up over time?
Well, Speed Phenom of YouTube fame may be able to answer that question better than anyone else, other than maybe the test drivers who put mega-miles on the early C8 Stingrays.
