    this is by far the best exhaust note I've ever heard on ANY car that I've seen... nothing comes close. its nice, subtle, yet loud and has a good tone. amazing that this is an american production car. :D

    Thank you Don Sherman, for an excellent review of such a great car. I'm diligently saving my funds in the hope/plan to purchase a Corvette C7. And thanks Car and Driver for including so many examples of the fantastic engine and exhaust sound in your footage. Keep up the good work.

    Glad someone else here is over the age of 'too young to realize the world doesn't spin just for them'. This was a very SMART move to have the review done by this man. The target demographic is who is looking forward to this car the most, not the minimum wage top youtube commenter. After they've done what they need to actually sell the car, then you can see all the noise for those who want to see the car, but can't afford it yet.
    Told a lot more than how much smoke/noise it makes. Bravo

    Rev matching works for both upshifting and downshifting. By waiting for the rpms to drop to the right point before engaging the clutch allows for less drivetrain shock. Also, if you've ever driven a semi truck or old car w/ a syncro-less transmission, you HAVE to rev match upshifts or you'll grind.
