Yes, for all his creativity", Jay does reuse a lot of standard "stock phrases" in his videos. It can be "charming" when viewed a couple times a week. Hearing the same or similar things repeated in *50 videos* can also become grating or annoying. I started my journey into Jay Leno's car videos over 6 years ago, with a smaller "binge watch" of about 30 videos over two weeks - I can understand what you experienced, a bit. It is worth it for me just for the Duesenberg, Packard, (sometimes Ferrari or Lamborghini coverage), and pre and post WWI cars... but that is my jam.

Great video Jay. Mark seems like a genuine, down to earth car guy too. The story about Bill Mitchell was hilarious. I'm 62 years old, and I've loved Corvettes since I was about 6 years old... Our neighbor had a white with red interior C2, and every day he would let me come over and sit in the car. I got my first Corvette when I was 17, and I was involved in SCCA GT-1 road racing when I was 18, in a 63 split window coupe... There were several years where the Corvettes were very disappointing, but they have come back in ways that none of us could have ever imagined. The new cars are incredible, but as amazing as they are, I will still always love the C2's the most because that is what I grew up with, and because they have so much character. The new cars just don't have the character, but they certainly do everything else incredibly well...

Having read some of the negative comments, I for one, am pleased Jay’s Garage made this episode. The Vette is a legend, as is Jay, so it’s only right his show should premier the car. I personally, would have liked more details on the engine. I had to check ‘Car and Driver’ to learn this engine is an LT7 and that there are more than just two turbos on it compared to the ZO6’s LT6. I presume it is RWD and not AWD. But, confirmation would have been nice. Did they consider AWD? Probably not as it is a ZR1, but then again maybe…… As a Brit, we love USA’s V8’s Still my favourite Vette is the C5. That shape with the enclosed headlights cuts it for me. It was the second Vette I travelled in (as a passenger), the first was a C3.

Though I am a big fan of JLG, I almost never watch these introduction vids as I consider them simply free ads for whoever's introducing a new model and of course the marketingspeak rules everything. But I've watched the Reuss family since they came into positions of being able to make things happen, and could not have more respect. Other than the salaries, they are just like us. They know every piece of a car, how it works, what it does,and how to maximize it. They are true performance enthusiasts and it shows in what they produce. I bought a Grand National in 1987 and considering the time it was made and its competition, it was simply stunning. The enthusiasm and insistence on excellence made me have hope once again. In fact, I sold a legendary 70s musclecar in order to buy it. It was faster, more comfortable, got better mileage, and had A//C. So when Lloyd's son is talking about his newest project, I listen.

I can't overstate the glee in the US sportscar community when the cars were new. Just the pride, if nothing else."Corvette is BACK, baby!" Younger SCCA buddy of mine picked up a running (not well)/driving C4 for $2K about 6yrs ago, ripped the stock induction off and replaced it with one of those aftermarket EFI systems (he often jokes that guys my age always go for the "Edelbrock/Holley Solution" 😆), and went hillclimbing.

I also really enjoy his excitement and passion whenever he mentions a C5 (or C6 & C7) Corvette. I am on my 2nd C5 after my 1st one being the 2000 Z51 Coupe 6 spd., and now my 2003 Z06. The Z is the latest of 6 Corvettes that I have owned since 1973 (18 yrs. old & HS grad) and in order of purchase- 1st 1970 LT-1, 2nd 1973 350 ci. coupe, 3rd 1987 Z51 coupe, 4th 1995 Z51 coupe and the afore mentioned 2000 Z51 coupe and the 2003 Z06. My next quest is either a 2012 or 2013 C6 Grand Sport or Z06.

Very informative. Need to know more about "Tag" who just retired. Loved comments about Power-glide band adjustments. Jay and Mark's dialogue is great like a couple of old friends walking around one of their cars at a "Show and Shine". While my Corvette is great this thing is in another universe.

Even at 200k it’s still the Best Bang For Your Buck!! Just drive down the street to the dealership and get it serviced and that’s all. Simplicity and Basically the Same V8 that Chevy has produced since the 50’s. Of course the dealership will have to invest in some of the Techs going back to school for the ZR1 but I would jump at the opportunity to say that I’m a ZR1 Tech. Of course I love all of the Big Three and the products specifically to each company. I’ve also had the opportunity to see Zora’s White Corvette in Tarpon Springs when the Car Museum was open years ago. Great Video Thank You 🙏

Once the Series 3 came around to fix the hydrolock problem with them due to the intake leaking coolant or oil, or fire problem from the oil, other than that yeah better engine than any ohc 3.6. the LS came about because of Lessons with the BOPs and SBC/BBC over the years.

​@shadowopsairman1583 ah the dreaded series 2 GM 3800 with the plastic intake manifold. Know it well. The EGR ports into the plastic and over time thermal stresses cause the plastic to crack thus introducing coolant into the intake stream and destroying the engine. Great idea plastic intake manifolds.

Can one update a Series II 3800 with the metal intake from a Series III? It appears that much of the electronics and monitors are different. There are so many 3800 III Pontiac Grand Prix s in the wrecking yards. I have a 2005 Le Sabre Custom, 2003 Bonneville SLE and a 2001 Grand Prix GT Coupe.

The problem with keeping Corvette as a Chevrolet is the Chevrolet dealer service experience. So many dealers don’t even know what they’re doing with a Stingray. I don’t have much confidence with their ability to handle a Z06 or ZR1. GM needs to do better and demand better from its dealers. Sadly, even the Cadillac dealer experience is pretty hit and miss in my experience.
